So today was a busy day for me. I was awoken this morning when my cell phone started ringing at 7:50am. Now I had planned on getting up at 8am anyway since the desk that I bought from Crate and Barrel was being delivered between 9am and 12pm. So when my phone was ringing at 7:50am I was worried it was an emergency. I mean, who would be calling me so early. Well, it was the delivery guy calling to say that they were here, with my desk, more than an hour early. Now, I am not the best handy man. I am the type to pay the extra fee to have it put together. Unfortunately, that was not an option at Crate and Barrel. Not the best trait, but I am being honest. So after the guys dropped the boxes off, I began my adventure into building a desk. Not as difficult as I thought. So after about an hour my new desk was all put together. I also had a fresh direct order delivered today. My fridge is now stocked with fresh fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, and plenty of protein. I also ordered all the ingredients to make healthy smoothies. The only problem is that I don't own a blender. Maybe next time I should check to make sure that I own the necessary equipment needed to make my smoothies. Guess the next thing on my list of things to do is to buy a blender!
I have to admit that my new favorite snack is Kale Chips. Very tasty, healthy and simple to make. All you need is one bunch of Kale, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sea salt and in less then 15 minutes, you have homemade Kale Chips.
Take your bunch of Kale and wash and dry it. Rip it up into pieces and place in a zip lock bag. Drizzle a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sprinkle in some sea salt. Shake it up and place it on a baking sheet. You want to pre heat the oven for 350 degrees and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the edges are nice and crispy. So give it a try and let me know what you think. It is a perfect and healthy substitute for regular potato chips.
As expected, I am still sore from my workout the other night with JC. I am really feeling it in my arms and especially in my back. So I opted to take it easy today and get caught up with some chores around the house. Sunday I will be doing a cardio and abs day at the gym by myself. The best part though is that JC taught me some abs exercises that I can do at home. So I can start my day off every morning with an abs workout before leaving for work.
My night ended with seeing “Gruesome Playground Injuries” with Pablo Schreiber and Jennifer Carpenter. The show was incredible. I was drawn in from the very first scene and every aspect captivated me including their use of the set. The tone and design of the show were amazing and the performances of Pablo and Jennifer were so deep and powerful that you left the theatre debating what happened after the curtain closed. You wanted to know what happened to these two characters and you followed them on this journey. The actors portrayed these characters starting at 8 years old all the way till they were 38 years old. That in itself is an incredible feat and these actors made it believable
So if you are in the city and have the chance to go see a show, check out Gruesome Playground Injuries. You will not be disappointed!
Well I am off to bed. Another busy day tomorrow and of course the big Jets game is tomorrow night. So till tomorrow. Stay healthy!
