SHOULDERS.

Today's workout kicked. my. bum. Well, I felt it in my shoulders actually.

4 rounds of:

21 burpees

25 walking lunges with 25# plate held at full arm extension over head

2 rounds of:

30 sit ups on recline

20 kangaroo kicks on incline

However. Tonight was an epic night in my personal vegan culinary history.

I finally achieved TOFU TEXTURE PERFECTION.

I made the best vegetable and tofu curry of my life– I had the perfect variety of vegetables on hand and finally got the tofu to get infused with curry sauce and PERFECTLY CRISPY.

Forget homework. I'm spent.

Super PWRS!

That acronym stands for Post Workout Recovery Smoothie, and from now on I will be including information about what I eat/drink directly after a workout. PWRS replenish muscles and energy stores so that I can get back on the track or in the gym the next day (and still have enough energy to blog about it)!

For a while I've been flirting with the idea of including in my blog some delicious high-protein, plant-based recipes (read: performance enhancing) that really get me raving. I think I'll tackle that concept by posting my favorite PWRS (looks like an abbreviation for "powers"...I like that!) in order to share some knowledge and personal experience with my fellow vegan athletes.

In return, you'll learn why PWRS are important, when they are effective, and what the most delicious recipes and ingredients are necessary for proper refueling.

First PWRS post coming soon!
