Day 46

Whoops, forgot to post yesterday.

I began adding in more fresh veggies to my diet yesterday. I cannot stress enough the importance of washing these thoroughly BEFORE cooking to eat.

You see, spinach is grown in sand. So the leaves often have sandy coatings on them, meaning they have to be washed very, very well prior to consumption otherwise you get gritty spinach (like I ate yesterday). Lesson learned - wash food thoroughly even if you will be cooking it before you eat it.

My lift yesterday was excellent. My legs feel strong and lean, and that was reflected both in my squat workout and in a physical inspection of them afterward. The definition in those muscle groups is really coming along and is encouraging to see.

Okay, on with the day. Sorry for the delay!
