Back on track with a homemade Primal salad lunch after a morning walk and run.
Not entirely sure why I've become a CARB DEVOURING MONSTER this past week, but it's time to stuff Mr. S. Tarch Hyde back into the shadows.
Ingredients:
- organic salad greens, prewashed and packaged
- 1 tin of sardines packed in mustard
- a few ringlets of purple onions
- handful of organic walnuts
- vinaigrette of Udo's Choice Oil, balsamic vinegar, a goodly squirt of organic Dijon mustard, ground pepper, and a few shakes of Italian Seasoning
Pretty much zero prep time, no carbs to speak of, and muy high in protein and omega-3s (from the fish, the nuts, and the oil).
To go lower on the sodium (the sardines have about 500 mg), substitute a hardboiled egg or two and don't add salt.
Morning routine, replete with vitamin D, wind in the hair, hugs and sunshine:
- 22 minute park walk with the pups, kids, and my honey
- 30 min garage treadmill session, moderate program with RESET loping, HR 116-130s
BP still doing alright -- no longer in the hypertensive range, though I'd still like it lower. So next steps will be losing another 5-10 lbs, and carefully adding another activity layer to the running foundation, all while carefully monitoring BP, energy levels, injury proofing, etc.
