Before Salsa hip shakin’ class I warmed up with a 10 minute 1 mile RUN - all the way!! YES YES Don’t know if that’s fast or slow but hey, one mile closer to the marathon. I plan on doing a 3 or 4mile walk/jog/run training on Thursday. This was just a preview. I didn’t get tired until the 8th min. Improvement? Yes
Then I finished it off with upper body weights to work out the rest of the muscles the push-ups didn’t address - not that there is any really.
CHINESE STEAMER TIME!!

The $30 steamer that leads me to eat better is shown above. The bottom compartment holds about 3 gallon of water. The two center pieces have holes for water to pass through and cook the food. So I put meat on one tier and my veggies on the other tier. This is a very large unit. Cooking is slow but the food - delicious!
I find that steaming my cut up apples, yams, sweet potatoes, taro roots and chicken and fish is the healthiest way to eat. I know others season their food but I don’t because I have been cutting sugar and salt out of my diet.
If you are looking for an alternative cooking method - this is the safest way to go. Hydro power - see - it’s good for cooking too! 
As I told Deanna, Tina and Amber yesterday, an alternative to steamed apples which is soooo good in your morning oatmeal, as Tina pointed out is microwaving it, or I’d say use your rice cooker to steam it as Nicole did with her chicken. For Brihanna, I keep the steamed apple in a tupperware at work. It last about a week a the most -1 apple per oatmeal breakfast.
Energy - you know why I always have a ton of energy? Because I feed my body the right FOOD. If you are tired, feel sluggish - the first place to check - what are you feeding yourself? If you are eating processed food - that is usually the number one reason. The more you cut it out the better you will feel.
I know this because I used to feel tired ALL THE TIME!! Now as I eat better and better I feel like I will fly out of my own skin but in a good way. Your body will thank you for feeding it good food.
Thank you steamer for your contribution to a healthier me - You are my best food cooking friend!
WEDNESDAY - fun fun time!! Whooo hooooooooooooooooo kickboxing and Pilate!!! Can’t wait.
