As you may have noticed, Savvy Eats got a makeover this weekend! I love that it looks so much cleaner now, don’t you?
Project Strength
This weekend marked the end of Project Strength, the results of which you can see here. I didn’t make quite as much progress as I would have hoped, but I think part of that can be attributed to my month-long running struggles.
Prospects are looking good for my ability to run the half marathon, so I’m icing, stretching, foam rolling, and Ibuprofin-ing (yep, that isn’t a word) for the rest of the week to prepare. Cross your fingers!
I am also attempting to get a lot of rest in this week, as my body tries to deal with my IT Band issues AND the head cold I seem to have come down with.
And lots of liquids. Lots. As in, I am alternating sips of all three of these right now:
Water, Green Monster, herbal tea. Awesome.
Project Glow
I’ve definitely been fulfilling the drink Green Monsters, stay hydrated, and avoid dairy aspects of Project Glow!
Well, except for the day that our Food Science professor brought in ice cream cake. He likes to bring in whatever foods we are learning about that day, and we covered ice cream cake in one of our lectures on freezing. I wasn’t about to turn down free ice cream cake!
Oh, and Greek yogurt. I still eat Greek yogurt.
New Veggies
Remember when I said I was experimenting with new vegetables, and that sunchokes (the smaller brown discs below) were next on the list?
Turns out I’m not a huge fan of sunchokes. They just taste too ‘earthy’ to me. When roasted, the smell reminded me of when people burn leaves in the fall. It is a good smell, but not something I necessarily want to taste.
Though they were better than mustard greens, I’ll give them that!
And just in case you thought I hated all new veggies that I tried, I roasted parsnips with the sunchokes, and liked them. Very sweet, kind of like roasted carrots! Since I cut them relatively thick, they came out soft and pillowy. If you want them more crispy, Zesty has a parsnip chips recipe!
