*groan*

Well, our honeymoon was lovely and I shall soon post pictures on facebook. It was even nice enough that we could walk on the beach the day we got there. Unfortunately our fancy dinner turned out to be riddled with food poisoning. So our drive home yesterday was less than pleasant and we're still trying to recover today. Perhaps I'm being punished for taking a break from my weekday veggie diet. I figured that eating seafood wasn't the worst thing I could do for my diet, and you only get your honeymoon once right!?

What really sucks is that I haven't been able to exercise for three days! I was all gung ho wednesday to get up and go for a run on the beach. I figured the impact wouldn't be so bad since it would be sand and I was excited. But when we woke up it was pouring down rain. I figured I could just do the elliptical when we got home, but being sick has put a wrench in that plan as well.

I was thinking about how good I've felt with the running I've been doing and how it's going to really suck to rebuild my endurance again when I'm allowed to run again. At least I can still do stuff to maintain my cardio I guess.

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 ...

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...

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.
