Day One: Something Sparkly and Something Yummy

I woke up this morning exhausted. I think I got most of my sleeping done between 12 and 3 last night, after that it was just game over. Usually, I would drag my butt out of bed, put on the kettle, brew a strong cup of tea, eat, and ride my bike to the gym. I would ignore my aching quads and sore feet, push aside my achenes, and press on to the next work out. But remember, I’m trying to be nice to my body right now. Instead, I drank my tea slowly, enjoyed my blueberries and set out to clean my bikes. Jesus, I’m not sure the when my commuter bike was cleaned last, but it sure as hell needed a serious scrubbing. But guess what? I do have silver components! Weird, I seriously thought they came black.
I also decided to spend my afternoon stocking up on some snacks for the rest of the week. I’m working every night, so dinner has been a bit of a challenge lately. Last Sunday, Jamon and I headed up to Park City for the Park Silly Market and I came across some delicious looking beets. Don’t like beets? Try roasting them, I bet it will totally change your mind!
Roast Beets
Rinse beets, preheat oven to 350
Wrap beets in tinfoil and roast for one hour
Voila! Yummy beets! I peeled mine post roasting as it’s easier to get the skins off, I plan on drizzling them with olive oil and making a cold salad with some chicken I also roasted and some spinach and feta! Yum!
