Victory and Chia

Hey reader. I would consider this past week to be a success. I have accomplished all of the workouts I set out to do, and my partner is just as enthusiastic as I am to continue.

Granted so far out workouts haven't been especially intense so far, the important thing is that they were accomplished. I have been extremely tired while adjusting to my new school routine, so we usually just lifted, walked, and jogged a bit. Either way I'm a bit sore, so I know I'm doing something. I almost can't wait until next week!

I have also just purchased a bag of chia seed. For those of you who don't know, it's a small seed that has the ability to absorb a massive amount of water, and is a quality source of energy, and a plethora of other things. I recommend googling it in a spare moment.

Today is my first day with the chia seed, so I chose to try a traditional chia fresca. It's a really simple recipe:

1 Tbs. dry chia seed
1 c. water
2 Tbs. lemon juice
honey to taste (I did 1 Tbs.)

combine ingredients and allow to sit for 10-15 min.

It was pretty tasty. The seeds themselves don't taste like anything, and it tasted sort of like lemonade.

So that's my story for the week, and I wish the best for you out there trying to accomplish your fitness goals. "Don't dream it, be it!"-Rocky Horror Picture Show
