Day 6 - Rest
Sore quads today! Kinda knew that was gonna happen, which is why I didn't do squats today; it would suck if I was super sore for the first sparring class of the year tomorrow. Ha, now that I've said that it's going to be ten times worse tomorrow!
Pop culture doesn't make much of an inroad into the Gray house as a general rule, but it appears that daughter # 1 has taken a shine to Nicki Minaj. If I have to listen to Starship much more, in any form whether it's through Shannon's ear buds at home, she's singing it as we wander through the grocery store, or I hear it at the gym, I may just have to stab somebody. Now, as a general rule I think I'm a fairly patient person but whenever I see Nicki Minaj's overly-make upped, vacant, duck face smile on the Internet or on tv, my first inclination is to give her a time out. And that obnoxious little kid on Ellen who looooooves her? She needs a time out too. I'll admit, she sings pretty well and I did have to smile the first time I saw her on YouTube. But she gets less endearing every time I see her and - if I were her mom - we'd have put a lid on the YouTube videos and interviews and makeup and superficial bullshit a long time ago. This is not something to aspire to, kids! Go read a book!
I don't want to be a troll or a hate monger though...so I'll shut it now and do my best to make sure my own kids don't end up that way. Actually, I don't think I have much to worry about since toilet jokes are more pervasive in my house than any single aspect of pop culture, and shouts of "PENIS BUTT BOOBS!" garner much more entertainment than just about anything else. 'Cause that's WAY better than listening to pop music. Heh heh heh.
Who wants to know what horrific sludge is coming out of my magic bullet these days? Here's a recipe for my favorite variety of Awesome Greenness:
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 scoop banana whey protein powder
1 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 serving Greens+ Daily Detox
2 tsp matcha green tea powder
Water to cover it all
Blend it up and slam it down! Wheaties ain't got nothing on this breakfast of champions!
