day 30: more stew
Did I mention how much I love soups and stews?? Pretty sure that I have. Or at least you can gather that fact by my meals so far this week! (Lamb Stew, Fish Stew, and Leftovers for lunch…)
Another thing I love: coming home to a cooked (or partially cooked) meal. When I came home from the gym tonight the house smelled fragrant… like Big Macs. But luckily it wasn’t Big Macs (I hate them and that would have been a terrible surprise).
Matt managed to craft a stew that smells like the McDonald’s signature burger but tasted nothing like it. It was sort of like a ratatouille. He called it a Mattatouille (which I thought was adorable) … and all I had to do was add the beans.
(Note the recycled paper from last week)
I don’t know exactly what was in it but something like tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, peppers, onion, garlic, and a whole slew of spices like garam marsala, turmeric, and chili powder.
Yum Yum.
My workout today was exhausting. Or, let me rephrase, I was exhausted during my workout. My upper body was so sore from yesterday’s weight training that my arms were even tired when I was running. I did 10 intervals for 10 minutes (30s. @ 6.7mph / 30s. @ 10mph) then jogged for another 4.5 miles. Then I did a Vinyasa yoga class where I could barely hold my arms up over my head in chair pose.
It’s good to be sore, but at the same time a bit disappointing. I’m going to do another yoga class on Sunday so hopefully that goes better
