Weekend...

My workout routine really lagged this weekend, I barely ran, ate way too much and just struggled with the whole weight loss concept for some reason the last few days. For months now I have been devoted and my mind has rarely faltered . This weekend though was really a struggle. Tomorrow is another day and I will see if I can get back on tract.

Broke out the Bike this weekend and did quite a bit of riding. For all those who come to this blog from somewhere cold, I feel for ya. Although it was 70-75 here last few days and I do enjoy taking the motorcycle out when I don't need a parka, muckluks and mittens. Ok, I don't own any muckluks, just threw that in for a kind friend.

Dinner Tonight

Well it had been actually several months since I made a dinner that was way out of the norm health-wise since our weight loss programs had begun. Most nights everything fits a program of low fat, low salt, no sugar and pretty healthy veggies and such. Today I just really wanted that steakhouse kind of dinner. So one cheap flank steak marinated for 5 hours in red wine, rosemary, garlic and several other substances and thrown on the grill outside this evening. Sauteed mushrooms in the red wine marinade with some sauteed onions. Spinach with cream cheese and romano cheese. Finally finished with a baked potato with sour cream.

I guess having goals is one thing, but giving up everything to attain those goals, I dont think so. Paying when one strays from the chosen path I can accept. Time to run to nowhere for a good hour and start paying that piper.

Quote of the Day

If you can get nothing better out of the world, get a good dinner out of it, at least.

In a Funk...

Spent the afternoon painting a ceiling. All I can say is, it is
one really crappy way to spend an afternoon. Step by step
Jinelle's Office/TV room is coming along.

I have really been in a funk on the workout front this last
week. I have really struggled to motivate myself to run
each morning. I really think I need to get a new goal quick.
15 days till the next 5K.

Have gotten into the mood to do some cooking again. Other
than making all the meals for the women each day I have not
really been motivated in the kitchen the last month or so.
Hit up some cooking blogs over the last few days to hopefully
wet my appetite. Added a few of the nicer ones I found to the
food links.
Kalyn's Kitchen - More diet and heathy food friendly cooking
FXCuisine - Chef who knows how to cook, great images

Just a little thing I found..

Was just wandering through blogs tonight when I came across
a little blog that pairs foods. Nicely set up and you pick a food
and it shows the other foods or herbs that go well with the
food you have picked. Adding it to the food links.

Heard such a great line tonight..
