Powerful Sardines and Serious Leg DOMS
To add some variety to my diet I bought a tin of sardines last week. I had them for lunch today. I’d eaten them occasionally over the years, usually smothered in mayo on toast. This time I ate them straight from the can, washed down with skim milk. Not the tastiest thing I’ve ever had, but I didn’t eat them for pleasure, I ate them for their protein and healthy fats! Here’s the nutritional facts for 1-83g can of sardines in water, strained: 130 cal, 7g fat, 1.5g saturated fat, .2g Omega-6, 1g Omega-3, 3.5 g monounsaturated, 90mg cholesterol, 240mg sodium, 250 mg potassium, 17g PROTEIN. These little fish sure pack a punch!
Legs are very sore today after doing squats and lunges two days ago. Did more reps and used higher weight on squats than I’d done before, and my legs are telling me they love the punishment! A long walk today, with power-walking up a hill at the end, adds to my pleasure!
I did an abs-only workout last night at home, while watching the Boston-Montreal hockey game. I’m off to the gym shortly, where I’ll do shoulders and chest, and probably throw in calves for fun (may as well add to my legs’ suffering!). Have a great week everyone!
