Whipping up Goodness: A Week in the Life of a Gluten-Free Foodie and Fitness Enthusiast!
okay y’all um this morning I am going to Inferno Pilates um I think it’s like kind of new like they don’t offer it oops I just kind of Hit the curve um I think it’s kind of new they don’t offer it at a lot of places uh I tried it back home in Massachusetts with.
My sister and it was probably one of the hardest workout classes I’ve ever done cuz it’s like hot yoga but on steroids like you’re doing Pilates it’s fastpac you’re jumping your some classes incorporate weightlifting into it um but now that I’m back in Nashville I like really liked the class even though it’s so hard.
And there’s a few places here in nashel that offer it and I’m going to do it um I’ve done it a couple times already I’m doing like a intro offer with this place here and it’s really hard this one doesn’t incorporate weightlifting into it but there’s a lot of cardio instead and yeah to say the least it kicks my.
Ass and I have been trying to drink a lot uh of more water and that even like that doesn’t help so I don’t really retain water well I’ve been trying to drink more electrolytes and I don’t have anymore so I’ve been sprinkling like Celtic salt like Celtic it’s too early for this I’ve been sprinkling what’s it called Celtic Sea.
Salt into my water it’s my roommate so hopefully she is okay with me using it and I think that’s the trick a little bit of salt in your water Celtic Sea salt in your water try it out yeah so that was the hardest class of my life can you see the sweat on my forehead yeah anyways great class um I.
Um am going to meet some friends for lunch later they we’re all kind of dispersing after graduation so it’s kind of like our goodbye lunch which is kind of sad um so that’ll be nice we’re going to this place in germant toown I think it’s called the Germantown Cafe I’ve never been but I’ve heard really good things about it and I had a friend that.
Worked there in the past so um be nice that they had a really good Caesar salad so that’s what I think I’m going to get that shower Felt So Good literally felt so good um like these classes you sweat so much to the point where like it feels like taking your sweaty clothes off feels like the most impossible task.
In the world okay now that I’m like fueled have my breakfast I need to start getting ready cuz I’m kind of running behind schedule um and I’d figure I’d kind of talk about like my plans after college like kind of what.
I’m doing cuz I feel like postgrad life is really stressful and I’m trying to normalize or I want it to be normal that was way too much I don’t know what I’m trying to say I basically want to normalize talking about not having a plan when I was in college I kind of was planning on going to more schooling.
Right after undergrad and I studied for the elsat basically all of last summer took the elsat had my recommendations basically had my application ready to go and I decided I didn’t actually want to do that yeah I decided that I didn’t want to do that.
And I also like in the while I was doing all this I was doing a lot of networking and asking people like what they liked and what they didn’t like about being a lawyer and honestly almost all of them said don’t do it which not that you should really listen to what other people are saying but the fact that like all of these.
People were in different fields like different Industries within law and they all were like miserable I was kind of like I don’t want this to sway my decision but I feel like this is something that I should consider and most of them are all looking for different jobs I wanted to go to school for entertainment law and when you go to.
School or when you want to be a lawyer with an entertainment you’re kind of restricted with where you can go to school either New York Nashville or la like California and I didn’t really see myself going to California um not that I didn’t want to go to New York but I was like nothing’s really.
Calling me to go and I also knew that I didn’t want to stay in Nashville for forever so I was like okay well this kind of sucks I don’t want to like be stuck somewhere Bas on my job if I ever wanted to move then I was like what am I going to do um I majored in music Business and Entrepreneurship at Belmont I was a double major and I always I do.
Want to start my own business I don’t know what and I don’t know when um but working for U I’m working part-time for a company and I’m really liking it it’s in a field that I haven’t worked in before it’s marketing but it’s um B2B marketing and I’m really liking it I am probably going to be moving soon back to New England that’s where I’m originally.
From um and I’m definitely kind of sad to be leaving Nashville who knows maybe I’ll come back here down the road um I’m definitely sad to be leaving but at the same time a lot of my friends are kind of dispersing so you know a lot of them are going to be in the east coast one of my best friends is going to be in DC so it’s not.
Like any of them are really going to be in the South anymore oh hey hey Kim I have I’ve had that suck in my head for probably months now ever since they started dropping that ad on YouTube it’s all I say.
okay just finished lunch and I didn’t film it oops but I got a chicken Caesar salad and I just Gra gra a coffeee from Bria parlor okay I’m going to start cooking some dinner I think I’m going to do.
A I have like a bunch of veggies to use I think I’m going to do a gluten-free pasta salad with chicken and I need to cook the chicken as well so I’m kind of going to meal prep with it but um I’m going to eat some of it tonight as well as well so so something that I’ve really been loving recently is marinating my chicken.
In this dressing the balsamic vinegarette these drinks Pacific cooler okay so for veggies I like I got this Trio I’m not going to obviously cut up all those but I have some carrots as well a cucumber and a um red onions for the pasta I’m also going to be using this red lentil pasta from.
Trader Joe’s um it’s kind of high in protein not really but um oh yeah 15 G per serving so pretty good um and I like to use this or use any protein pasta to kind of make the um the pasta s a little bit more filling in this pasta I found so most gluten-free pasta I cook it um usually.
Less than the suggested time because it like gets mushy really quickly but this pasta is the complete opposite I have to cook it for longer um I don’t even know what it suggests on here yeah it says 5 to 6 minutes no need to cook it for way longer so I’ll probably do like eight and then check it okay so I have all the veggies in.
Here I chopped everything up um peppers cucumbers carrots all that um I have the chicken cooking and this is the pasta waiting for it to cool um I think I’m going to start making the dressing now for the dressing I typically do a mix of things so I do a little bit of mayo a little bit of Dijon um red wine vinegar and a little bit of.
Um olive oil just going of keep stirring okay then the last thing I do is just kind of sprinkle a little bit of cheese on it okay this is the final product okay my friend Annie is coming to pick me up and we’re going to.
Get Jenny’s ice cream so I think this is the outfit I think this is what I’m going to wear she’s wearing pajamas so check it out I’m having like major germophobe issues right now that I’m wearing my sneakers on the rug it’s so.
Yummy birthday cake glutenfree all right so that pretty much concludes my day um showered in bed now exhausted about to go to bed so thanks for watching
