We needed to do some fine-tuning on one of our empty rentals, though, so we found some energy and headed out after breakfast. It's not exactly how we'd like to spend a holiday day off but it was much needed. It's amazing what some cleaning and sprucing can do for the energy of a space!
Once home, it was time for a workout, cooking up lunch and dinner, blogging, and watching Merlin on the DVR.
Exciting holiday, huh?
It's better than no holiday, I say. :)

Did very well today at keeping things moving and not letting the rest periods get away from me. Today's workout was more than 2-1/2 minutes shorter than last week. I worked up quite a sweat, too.
My legs were incredibly strong today. My form during dead lifts did not break down at all...back straight, head up, shoulders and arms locked.
Stretched my calves/feet for 4 minutes today instead of 2. They needed it.
I must've done some good work on my hamstrings today. They were pretty tight at days end.
DIET - HIGH PROTEIN
I started the day off today with a delicious Italian-style whole egg and 2 egg white scramble of peppers, onions, and turkey sausage. I topped it with some grass-fed, organic mozzarella cheese and Christina's homemade tomato sauce.
Photo says it all...
Lunch was post-workout and involved the grill. I managed to fire up some chicken and eggplant "burgers" in between rain showers. I plated that up with some left over gluten free pizza from this past weekend. Yum!
Dessert was in order, too, so I munched on the last homemade brownie from the farmer's market yesterday. Chocolaty goodness!
For dinner, we made up some grass-fed beef meatloaf for plenty of leftovers this week. On the side was green beans sauteed up with onions and garlic in EVOO.
Mmmm....raw meat and eggs. I'm excited!
