Thank you bag of frozen chicken breasts from Trader Joe's
I recently bought this bag of frozen chicken breast at Trader Joe’s because I’m in my gym era. that’s right. I am a swole lyfe/#fitspo/protein guzzling/gym girl now so naturally I am constantly thinking about ways to get more #gainz.
ok I’m kidding but I’m also like kind of not because I actually did sign up for the gym(classpass). I’ve been to a few classes so far and it’s actually laugh out loud LOL funny how weak I am. Everyone in my classes is like lifting 30lbs with their pinkies while simultaneously doing pirouettes and I’m struggling with my 2lb weights, it’s rough and tough for me in these classes. I must become stronger.
This led to a brief google dive into protein powders. Did you know they come in outrageous flavors? The most common flavors seem to be chocolate and vanilla, but then there are super flavors like: cinnamon bun, pumpkin pie, sour patch kids? and there’s one that’s even supposed to taste like a Twinkie.
Absolutely not, no thank you. And I apologize, maybe this is your life source and you breathe and bleed protein powder but personally I’m just not there yet. However I must say that I do really love the aesthetic idea of a big ol thing of protein powder sitting in your kitchen as artistic design.
So I’m going the super traditionalist route, chicken breast. Chicken breast has been amazing so far because it’s so normal. You can grill it, put it in the oven, do a lil stir fry, put it on a salad. The options are endless! I find myself excited to come home after my workouts to have a little nibble of chicken. I feel this is akin to how it must feel to come home to your wife and kids.
I must admit that I have a tendency to get carried away with things and I also tend to overly fixate on new hobbies but I’m trying to just let it all go and just enjoy this moment. Right now I am happy with my little 2lb weights and my bag of frozen chicken breasts and I’m trying to just breathe in that. I work out because it feels nice to move my body and to honor it for an hour of my day and I am finding myself constantly reminding myself of this because there are times where I find myself thinking I need to do more. I will never be a contestant on Physical 100 nor will my body ever be in a state that I need to be drinking chicken smoothies for more protein.
I am happy and content as is.
Anyways, I love Jang Eunsil on Physical 100
