Spicy chicken curry & Paprika roasted broccoli

Had a really challenging workout today! I mean, I feel my legs when I train them, but today I trained my arms and that was much worse. Don't get me wrong, I totally enjoyed my workout, it was hard and satisfying, and most of all; fun.
But I felt kind of weak.. I could hardly get my arms up at a certain point, they felt like rubber and didn't do what I wanted them to do anymore. So frustrating! I guess it'll just become easier over time as long as I keep training them.

In fact, my workout had cost me so much energy that I needed 4 instead of 3 large meals today! I've never experienced that before.
Breakfast was beef & celeriac and fritters. Lunch (after my workout) was a salad with mackerel and leftover fritters from breakfast. And 2 hours later I got hungry again and ate the other portion of beef & celeriac that I'd made this morning.. I'm glad I did that though, made me feel much better.
I enjoyed a 45 minute walk in the afternoon (couldn't resist going outside in this awesome weather) and, surprise surprise, I was hungry again tonight and made this spicy curry with some broccoli. It had been quite a long time since I had a curry, and this one worked out very well.
