Day 17

I woke up before my 5am alarm today again and I feel as though I am waking up more refreshed than usual - a huge unexpected bonus! I think it is due to having better quality sleep without the digestive load on the body during the night - rather than spending energy on processing food it can work on healing and recovery. So a hint is to make sure your evening meals are very light and preferably uncooked to enhance your sleep quality. Smashed out another cross training session this morning focusing on legs - cling and jerks, deadlifts & abs. I had to travel to Toowoomba today and had a sprouted lentil salad for lunch before we left then a yummy raw cacao bar during the drive up but was looking forward to some fruit later on so I stopped in at a Lockyer Valley green grocer on the way home and picked up fresh supplies. Two peaches hit the spot and I got home just in time to save my dry laundry from the downpour this evening and hit the gym for Body Step at 5:30pm. Chickpea and avocado salad, raw salmon and a few squares of raw chocolate for my evening meal after sitting in the garden until dusk with the chooks rambling about in the rain softened dirt and watching for any other critters that visit. After a double workout and big country drive I am feeling deliciously exhausted, have just read another chapter of my book and it's time to call it a night!
