Today was my "active recovery" day for working out. So I walked the two miles home from work. It was brisk, dark, and lovely. My mind started wandering as I went, as it is wont to do. I was thinking about what other types of things I would do for active recovery. I wasn't coming up with much. And honestly, food was more on my mind than exercise.
Along with Tricia, I'm doing a Whole 30 this month to remind myself of good habits that I know how to practice. One of the things that was particularly hard to give up (which for me means that I was really over-dependent on it) was cheese. Brie cheese, sharp cheddar, feta, pecorino, aged gouda... Sigh. I love it all.
So tonight I sat down to do work, and don't even ask me how I got to this page, but I did.
See, doesn't this look fun? This is Jo Guest, the 2011 Gloucestershire Women's Cheese Rolling champion.
Now I have something to practice on active recovery days, a travel goal, and cheese is still a part of my life! Who is with me?

Geez Louise! How did I get sooo lucky to be able to read yours, Meridith's & your roommates blogs?!?!
ReplyDeleteAre you hooked up with Precision Nutrition at all or am I just feeling extra special being over here?:)
Mary Ann
mary Ann--I totally AM in Lean Eating right now. How did you find this blog?! WELCOME! I'm stoked. I didn't link to it from PN because it's not totally LE related, more fitness in general.
ReplyDeleteThanks, nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteI found it through Meridith's because she posted a comment to the two of us.

Hey Mary Ann! Welcome! I am so excited you get to work with Meagan in the LE PN challenge--living with her and working out with her changed my life so you are in for a real treat.

Yes, I did, thanks for taking the time to send it.
DeleteWow, what wonderful praise for a great friend. Sounds like she is lucky to have you too!!
Does Meagan mind in I repost this video (if possible ) into the PN site?
