Crock pot pork stuffed peppers!

HUH? Your probably wondering what in the hell did Chad post today…”Crock pot what?” I normally don’t post meals just info on nutrition to better your performance. However, when I saw this on Mark’s Daily Apple the other day, my mouth watered up and immediately got hungry. Doesn’t this make you hungry enough to devour and go back for seconds, thirds, and fourths? Anyways, this is just something to try and add to your healthy lifestyle. If your not eating healthy then you should do so because you’ll notice a huge difference in your training whether it be serious training or not. Crock pot pork stuffed peppers

Kind of on the same subject-I believe as you get older you should start thinking of taking care of your body. This means look into what kind of exercise your doing, what your eating habits are like, and whether you have a balance of both, along with trying to balance work and family life.  I know from my experience of training in all sorts of sports since the age of 6 that my body is broken down and it takes longer for me to get started and train in the disciplines I want to train in.  I know certain foods I eat effect my performance in future training sessions. I also have had a fair share of injuries from shoulder and knee surgeries to pulled back muscles and slipped disc, my body lets me know when, what, and how I’ll be training. As I get older (31 in a week) I’m having to continue to eat the right foods that will aid in my rest and recovery. This is crucial and cannot be taken for granted on what you put into your body day in and day out. I’m also paying attention to how hard I train. I ask myself  ”Am I training for competition? Training in the moment?, or training for lifestyle?” As I get older I have to start thinking lifestyle because this is my livelihood. I have to be able to teach and train others because they depend on me as a teacher/instructor. Being injured sucks but it’s part of the life I choose to live.  So an important thing to remember is train smart but make sure you have fun doing it.

   Since I do not eat pork I may try using tempheh or soy meat in my Crock potstuffed peppers!

   As I get older I have finally started to realize that “rest” is a part of my training regime.
