Denise Nicole's Journey to Oz (SeaSiren)

[SeaSiren]

Thank you Robert

I am enjoying your journal. You are very interesting and motivating. Can I have your recipe for tahini dressing. I tried goddess dressing but didn't like it. But I do like tahini. Thanks.

Thanks

Tahini Dressing:
2/3c Tahini
1c water
1/4 cup of lemon or orange juice (I like orange for a sweeter taste)
1/4tsp garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp sea salt (also a pinch of cayenne for a kick if you like)
optional - 1 pitted date chopped or 1tsp agave

mix well, or for me I put it in a salad dressing container and shake well.

refrigerate remaining.


AM:
cardio 20 min

Sissy Squats: 2x10
Rear Delts 3x10 (shoulder warm-up)

I have been very blessed after beginning competitions and have quite a full schedule of modeling, competing and my new online personal training site for women (live in one month). I have had three shoots for me and one for my daughter just this week. I need to ride the modeling avenue out to where ever it takes me for however long they let me stay on this train.

I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that I will no longer be able to update my training journal in a timely matter and am closing it for now.

Don't worry! I will still be around here and am very much training!

Thanks so much to those who have contributed to my journal and supported me these many years.
