Happy MLK Jr. Day!
I'm so interested in how people celebrate the day...or even take a moment to recognize what a tribute to the human race that MLK was. I was happy to see so many of my friends making comments on facebook or twitter - but experienced wonder when realizing that so many people did not. For some people that think that the day is for minorities....how to change that thought? Hopefully as time passes the thoughts will change.
I had a pretty great couple of days with the hubster...just so blessed to have that man in my life - even if he does sometimes add stress to it....lol. He's been great at the gym....such a huge source of support and encouragement....even if he adds weight when I'm not looking.
Today's workout was Back & Biceps
Back
Plate loaded pull downs 4 sets of 10 - 2 sets at 45lbs and 2 sets at 70lbs
Compound Row 3 sets of 10 @ 110lbs
Super pullover (machine) 3 sets of 10 - 2 sets at 80lbs and 1 set at 90lbs
Bent over Rows 3 sets of 10 - 1 set at 50lbs and 2 sets at 40lbs
Biceps
Seated curls (dumbbell) 3 sets of 10 - 2 sets with 25lb dumbbells and 1 set with 20lb dumbbells
Standing curls with barbells 3 sets of 10 at 30lbs
Cable curls 3 sets of 10 - 1 set at 40lbs & 2 sets @ 50lbs
Boxing/Sparring
30 minutes with 4 sets of 4 count to 20 jumping jacks in between each session with 60 seconds of jumping rope in between
I planned on working in abs and a 10 minute cool down on the treadmill, but one of my students was there and asked me to tutor her in English so we were talking about that until time for me to head home and cook dinner. All in a really good workout!
As far as eating we are still doing well :) go us!
Breakfast - 1/2 whole wheat bagel with peanut butter
Lunch - bean wrap with no cheese
Snack - homemade trail mix (chex mix cereal, dried cranberries, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, dark chocolate chips (just a few), and pretzel sticks)
Dinner - Tuna Lettuce wraps - tuna, bell pepper, onion, pickle relish (just a little) and fat free mayo (1 tablespoon for 3 cans of tuna).
Dessert - 1/2 cinnamon graham cracker with peanut butter and apple slices
Now I'm off to bed, up at 5:15 to get my run in - I have a date with the treadmill. :)

Since so many of us didn't live during that time, since we didn't have to experience that kind of world I think it's easy to overlook what strides have been made and we forget to give honor to the individuals who worked to make that happen.
Not saying it's right, but I think that's why it's become more of a fun day than a day of remembrance.
We had a fun day but we had discussion too - well as much discussion as you can have with a 5year old!
I think it's especially important for non-minorities to understand and remember simply for the fact that racism isn't something that's ever been directly experienced or dealt with. I've never had to suffer because the color of my skin but that doesn't mean I have the right to ignore the fact that others have.
I believe it's important to have compassion and understanding for the things that have happened in the past but also for the many injustices that continue to happen today.
We still have a long way to go but I'm hopeful that our children are learning the right lessons...
