Sweat and Vegetables

For me, there is no such thing as too much sweat or too many vegetables. OK, what the hell am I talking about? I’m sure you have a couple of things you could never get enough of, right? Well, two at the top of my list are sweat and vegetables.

I thought of this the other day while I was at the gym watching CNN’s story on Alicia Silverstone mouth feed her baby, and realized how much I miss going to the gym for a good sweat.

I don’t get there very often right now with all the busy busy going on getting ready for baby #2. Nor am I allowed to really get a gritty, dirty, sweaty, hard-core workout in while I’m pregnant. No heavy lifting. And no good pounding heartrate. AND… UMM, I’VE BEEN PREGNANT SINCE JULY 2010!  So, yeah, I haven’t had much  opportunity to get a really good sweat on.

OK, yes I had 4 months in between pregnancies. But 2 of those were spent recovering from a c-section and during that time my Dr. wouldn’t even allow me to do yoga.  YOGA!

Alright, back to my sweat and vegetables jabber.  So then while I was blogging about the gym and Alicia, the bird feeder, I was eating a salad which reminded me that Alicia is some sort of raw food eater or something and it just got me thinking about how much I love raw vegetables.

The salads I make are not just heaps of iceberg lettuce. Mine are more like a big bowl of mixed raw vegetables and a few extras like spinach, kale, musrooms, carrots, peppers, onion, brocolli, any veggie will do, topped with almonds and feta cheese.  And I can’t get enough of it.

Put me in a gym for a killer workout or even better – out in the hot sun for some hard physical labor like landscaping (I used to do a lot of yard work at my old house) and then sit me down at the end of it for a huge yummy bowl of raw vegetables and I. am. in. heaven.

Again, what the hell am I talking about?  Two things I love.  That’s it.

And umm, it is my blog so I can talk about whatever crazy shit I want.
