Hey y’all! I hope you are enjoying these weekly recipes. Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of them yet!

As for my weekly updates, it’s been a crazy couple of weeks at the LSRD headquarters (AKA our spare bedroom.) I am working on growing my team and planning some expansion of my business for this year.

In the last few weeks, I also bumped up my training frequency to three times per week (I was at twice a week before).

And while I don’t think that’s an excessive amount of training, it seems like my body wasn’t a fan of combining that frequency with all the work I’ve been doing in February.

So apparently I have tweaked my shoulder.

I’m having some moderate pain during pulling or lat stability type movements like deadlifts, rows, and chin-ups. I don’t remember specifically hurting it, so I’m not too sure when it got injured. It might just be an overuse injury.

In the spirit of my stance on overtraining, I have decided to take the rest of the week off from my training and start back up on Monday. I’m hoping with a restful weekend and 3-4 days off of exercise, I’ll be back to normal.

We’ll see what happens!

Now that the update is over, here’s the #FedForReal recipe of the week!

Recipe of the week:

Buckwheat Breakfast Porridge

Don’t be deceived by the name! Buckwheat not wheat, or even a grain. Buckwheat is actually a seed from a fruit, and it’s 100% gluten-free!

It is a wonderful, hearty substitute for gluten-containing grains, and has a number of health-promoting properties. Buckwheat is a great source of slow release carbohydrates promoting stable blood sugar levels and satiety between meals. It’s a decent source of plant-based protein and is rich is cell-protecting antioxidants.

Pro tip: Add hydrolyzed collagen to these types of hot cereal dishes to make sure you’re getting enough protein in the morning.
