Slacker

I was going to run today, but it wasn't really at the front of my mind today. It was so nice out today too! I really wanted to go find a nice trail to run. This weekend was full of distractions. Yesterday I got up and immediately started deep cleaning my house. I decided it was time to go through all of the things in the closets and cupboards. The things you sort of ignore because they had a place to be. It was well worth it though. Our spare bedroom is looking much better. We even found the key for the door of the Subaru so we can actually lock the doors again! I'm excited to go run tomorrow, but with my luck it's going to be overcast and rainy since it was so nice and sunny today. I suppose that's my punishment for not making it a priority.

I'm excited for tonight's dinner. I made an Italian salad with garbanzos, red peppers and artichoke hearts tossed in balsamic and olive oil. For the main course I'm currently cooking chicken marsala over pasta with the roasted brussels sprouts I made earlier this week (not the same ones, just the same recipe haha!) and dessert is chocolate pudding with cinnamon, red pepper flakes, and orange zest. I'm super excited and it's a pretty healthy meal for the most part. Got to milk the protein while I can! Tomorrow is back to veggie again.

Wha?! Where do I find this?

I'm watching Kirstie Alley's Big Life which is actually more interesting than I had anticipated. Right now she and a couple of people are riding exercise bikes in a pool! Where do I find this? I want to ride an exercise bike in a pool! Has anyone else done this before? I would also like a swimming buddy to go to water aerobics or to go aqua jogging with me. If I can find a Tuesday evening class to go to with someone I would seriously be excited. Who's in? I NEED a workout partner. I'm tired of trying to do everything alone. I came to the realization this weekend as I read my copy of Shape magazine that I have started to really slip with my exercise routine. Actually, it probably wasn't much of a realization, I pretty much know I'm being a slacker. But I think having a monthly reminder of what I could be doing for myself, like a magazine subscription, would not be a bad thing for relatively little money. There's a great pilates workout in here that I think ...

Stairmaster - Posh I Say!

I think I climbed up and down the steps to my apartment no less than 50 times today. Given that there's about 20 steps, that's about 1000 steps I did. Not to mention the carrying things each way and the unloading them into the new place. Even though my low-cost trial at the yoga college will be over soon, I don't feel guilty about missing today. I'm so tired! Moving is a freaking huge amount of exercise! The downside is that I consumed so many calories (chili-cheese fries at Carl's Junior anyone?) to probably blow an entire day of exercise out of counting. Tomorrow is a new day.

Because I like to Share

Okay, so I made this tonight and it was so incredibly delicious that I felt the need to share. I knew Paul would want hamburgers for dinner because that's what he likes and I decided that I didn't really feel like having a burger or a gardenburger. I had some portobellos in my fridge that I had forgotten that I bought. So I cleaned them, popped out the stem and stabbed them all over with a fork. Then I doused them with yoshida's teriyaki sauce and let them sit about an hour. I grilled them on the barbeque. Then I put them on a Dave's Killer bread bun (toasted on the barbeque) and topped it with a bit of goat cheese, avocado, tomato and some mixed greens. No mayo, no mustard, no fat, no meat. It was SO GOOD!!! Seriously try this! As a side I chopped brussels sprouts into quarters, drizzled them with olive oil, salt and pepper, and then put them in a disposable baking pan and threw that on the barbeque with the mushrooms. They came out crunchy with a bit of the fire ro...
