OWWWWWCH!!!

Alright, Day 2 of Stage 1 and I want to die. My arms and legs are about to stage a revolt. Two workouts down, 19 to go... and then 4 days off until the next, more intense stage. I know it will get "easier" because my muscles will get stronger, but for now I am going to whine like a little baby. IT HURTS! The workout this morning nearly killed me... I never had much arm strength, and the first 20 minutes was all about working the "push" muscles of the arms and legs. Let's just say my triceps are about to jump up and scatter. I could barely wash my hair afterward.

For dinner last night I had this plate of beautifulness:

Here's what I did:

Soak your chicken (about 4 oz) in unsweet almond milk while you prep the "batter" which consists of almond meal and Mrs. Dash's lemon pepper. I added a little red pepper for heat. Brown in a skillet with a little extra virgin olive oil to prevent as much sticking as possible. Finish in the oven. Comes out super, super juicy!

Next, the side dishes. Saute onion, fresh green beans, and garlic in a non-stick skillet. I added a tsp olive oil and cooking spray to prevent burning. Flavor with sea salt, fresh ground pepper, and fresh lemon juice. And of course, have some Granny Smith apple slices for dessert.
