Stir Fry and Yoga

Today, I went to a long needed yoga class. I used to be a regular at the local yoga studio, but it kind of got pushed to the side as I began training for races and boxing. However, today I was reunited and it felt so good!!! Not only was it an excellent stretch for my muscles but I forget how detoxifying hot yoga is. I left class and my face wasn't only sweaty but it was glowing. My pores and body felt so refreshed. I might have to add a day of hot yoga back into my weekly routine. 


Lean Beef Sirloin Stir Fry

Tonight for dinner (refueling time) I made a yummy lean beef stir fry with tofu noodles. It completely hit the spot and I am super full. It is a good full though, knowing that what I ate was full of nutrients, protein, and flavor!!!! I must be on an Asian kick, because I have be eating a lot of stir-fry and lettuce wraps the past two weeks. 

Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds top sirloin cut into thin strips
3 chopped garlic cloves
2 chopped green onions
1 sliced zucchini
2 cups mixed greens (spinach, kale, Swiss chard)

1 package tofu shirataki noodles (omit for paleo)
1 tbs coconut oil
1 tbs crushed red peppers (optional)
**any additional veggies you want to add**

3. Add steak and sauce. Cook until meat is 1/2 way done
