A chicken breast in my purse.

"Yes, I Workout. Eat egg whites cold. Hide peanut butter from myself. Have a chicken breast in my purse. Carry a gallon jug. I'm a hardbody." ~ Jodie Minear, IFBB Pro


I’ve always wanted to put a chicken breast in my purse. Well, not always, but since I started seeing that ad in F&M Hers a few months back. I didn’t buy into the website advertised, but I love the ad slogan. It almost makes me want to eat egg whites, haha. I had a dinner meeting this evening and knew the ravioli doused in cream sauce menu would take out my diet so I packed a chicken breast in my purse to dump onto my salad plate. It was fun and I managed to do it covertly when my tablemates were distracted, not that Darene didn’t shake her head and laugh at me. It is after all a random thing to explain ;)

I also tried a thing called Fascia7 today. The idea is that you the last exercise of your workout (presuming the workout targeted all one body part) should be 7 sets, with 30 seconds rest in between. What this supposedly will do is stretch out your fascia (the thin translucent stuff between your skin and muscles – think raw chicken – gross I know) and allow your muscles extra room to grow. It made sense so what they hey, I tried it =)
