Today I've been cooking up all sorts of vegetable laden concoctions in preparation for the working week ahead - I'm sure that Rae cooks something similar to this. I got chicken breast, a couple of cans of diced tomatoes, herbs, onions, garlic and about a kilo of assorted vegetables (ie whatever was there) plus some leftover champagne (for flavour!) and simmered it into a big casserole for a few hours. Needless to say you all know what I will be eating for the next few days. It tastes pretty bland right now, but like any good casserole, it just needs a day to fester and the flavours to meld together.
Back to work tomorrow - as the hours I can work are determined by the gym creche at the moment, I'm up for a date with Coach Troy of Spinervals fame tomorrow - will be 3 x blocks of my favourite Aerobase Builder (No 25). Then I will squeeze in some weights between clients.

Crazy Sh$t!
I had quite a memorable training session this morning - after doing 30 minutes of pretty hard elliptical work ( I feel I need to get good and warm before I do anything to my legs), I decided that I needed to bite the bullet and train my legs (which I find the hardest bodypart for me to train).
Yesterday I had the pleasure of watching Lisa suffer through her 6-12-25 protocol for legs and thought "it's been awhile since the ol' posterior chain has had a proper hammering" and decided to do the posterior chain part of the exercise. Well, I grunted and yelled my way through 3 sets of 6-12-25 torture and then because I had a grin from ear to ear when I had finished did 12 x cluster style reps of full deadlifts to finish it off (don't know if I got to 95% of what I could lift but I did 55kg which is pretty tidy for me). Then I grabbed a 15kg and did 2 x 12 1and 1/4 squats to complete the session in just under 25 minutes. It was hilarious talking to one of the other trainers - who said "you guys are doing crazy sh*t" :):)
I must say that for the hours afterwards, I felt like a good lie down and taking tea like Mrs Nesbitt BUT finishing a workout like that makes you feel very accomplished and I only did half - I can only imagine how Lisa felt after ripping both sides of the sucker! I wonder how the DOMS ometer will treat me in the morning.
