Hello everyone, welcome to the Monday thread! Please feel welcome to read and to post here, we're always happy to chat. I just sweated my way through Day 2 of Brian's Strength x Core 💪💦 It's meant to be done with your heaviest weights. I bumped up my weights to my usual 'heavy' rather than trying more, and that was enough to wear me out of a few of the exercises. For now, just lifting weights is still a challenge. A thought to accompany this observation:
"Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming what you once thought you couldn't." (Rikki Rogers)
By that metric, I'm sure we're all growing stronger in different ways! With the heat 🌞 this summer, I am developing the strength to resist snacking. I seem to have less appetite in the heat (and of course all those glasses of water don't leave much room 🤣🤣). And in the warm weather we're eating a lot of salads 🥗. Over the last week we had kale-quinoa-cranberry salad, quinoa tabbouleh, grated carrot with citrus dressing, and italian potato salad with olives and green beans from the garden. Today I restarted with kale. But I think I'll add a basic green (lettuce) in there, too, I found a nice lemon vinaigrette that should make it more interesting. What are your favorite foods in summertime?
Have a great Monday, and I hope your week will go well!
Monday at HKS (with added Pals), July 27th 💪💦🌞🥗
