sweat it out.

July 23, 2011 by Hillary 5 Comments

After 16 sips of Sierra Nevada beer and a stack of “sinful” blueberry + peach puree cornmeal pancakes, I was ready to cleanse my body from my indulgences this afternoon.

I was so so stuffed from this morning’s carbs & caffeine, that I had to wait until almost 5:00pm before I felt my food was digested enough to exercise. Once I got to the WREC, the glucose had been absorbed from my intestines into my cells, and I was ready to move!

  • 60-minute treadmill run (7.5 mi.)

30 minutes @ 0 incline / 15 minutes @ 0.5 incline / 15 minutes @ 1.0 incline – 8:00 min./mi. pace

Even though this was an easy run, it was still a sweat storm on the ‘mill!!

  • 20-minute StairMaster
  • 10-minute strength training

 arms & legs using 10lb. dumbbells + 10 assisted pull-ups & 10 assisted dips

Once home, all I wanted was something fresh, raw, and colorful… and icy H20!

The ideal summer salad:
raw, organic baby spinach + a chiffonade of organic basil, fresh mozzarella, farmers’ market tomatoes (that taste like candy!), drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, S + P

 

Speaking of cleansing eats, I enjoyed a delicious – thick! – Green Monster smoothie earlier this week. I don’t know why I don’t whip up these nutrient-dense blender “beverages” every day – they are guaranteed to be delicious and revitalizing!

The Clean Green Monster Smoothie:
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1/2 c. frozen mango
  • 1/4 ripe avocado
  • 1 tsp. chia seeds
  • 1 c. raw, organic baby spinach
  • 3/4 c. unsweetened vanilla almond milk

I hope y’all are enjoying the late July weekend.

See ya Sunday!

Hillary

    Summer, post-workout meals are always salads in my book! So refreshing and delish!
