Reverse it.
Blog fail. I meant to update you guys last night, but I was busy cooking!(Yes, you heard saw that right.)
I’m going to do things a little backwards today because I’m a little bit backwards in general.
Shenanigans
Yesterday afternoon, I should have had a class at 2:20 and another at 6. After the gym and doing some work, I decided that a hike seemed much more fitting. I was right.
I hiked this mountain on Sunday morning, and the weather was so perfect yesterday, that I thought I should go again. I pushed myself hard and was sweating like Mike Tyson in a spelling bee. I didn’t time myself, but wish I would have because I’m pretty sure I shaved off at least 3-4 minutes from the day before.
When I got to the top, I sat there and just relaxed for a good 20 minutes. It was so nice up there and I didn’t have a care in the world. I contemplated not even coming down, but realized I had no food, so that was out of the question.
At one point, a police helicopter came by and was probably a good 30-40 yards away just hanging out and waving so people could take pictures. It was actually pretty cool. Thank you hard working tax dollars 🙂
Nutrition
Meals were pretty much the same as every other day. The only difference was that I had coconut oil with tuna at one point…and other than that it was pretty normal. I’ll post today’s eats because they are a little different.
Like I said earlier, I pulled a Martha Stewart and started cooking last night (while I should have been in class.) I made steamed Kale, Asparagus, a shlot of green beans(seriously like pounds of them), and 2.5 pounds of chicken with salt free fajita(pronounced fa-jy-ta) seasonings. It smelled good, hopefully it tastes good to.
That doesn’t seem like much cooking now that I wrote it out, but I had 4 pots going at once and coming from a girl who just learned to use a microwave a year ago, this is good.(Kidding of course, it was 6 months ago.)

Are you still with me? If you are, God bless you. Thought you might like seeing the weights/reps I use. I did a lot of super sets too, so the military press and lateral raises were supersetted, along with a few other things.
Hoping to get some videos out soon, I didn’t forget. And a Sedona recap should be ready within a day or two. Still waiting on pictures/video. The video is worth the wait, I assure you. Although, you may look at me in a whole new light haha. (Get your minds out of the gutter, not that kind of video.)
Layta!
