Ack, three days since my last post! and I was doing so well. I did try last night but I seem to have much more to do than there are hours (and ability to focus) in the day.
A very active day today, the start of week two of me pretending we’re much further into Spring than we actually are and adjusting my attitude/activity level accordingly. My goal is to go to the gym 5 days a week (which is where I was at before hurting my knee ligament, I was on around 3 before Christmas), I met that last week and started off on a good foot with this morning, doing my short set of shoulder/bicep/tricep/crunches and then twenty minutes in the pool. Tomorrow, muscles allowing, I’ll be doing the long set of bench press, dumb bell press, rows, chest flies, lateral pull-down and a little pinchy fecker of a thing on the ezbar where you burn the living days lights out of your Cardasians as I call them (Trapezius).
We had a meeting in the new library this morning (very exciting!) and I spent the rest of the day cooking (the diet aspect of things is going great too, I seem to have found my mojo in the kitchen again, long may it last). Here’s a few pics from Benny’s camera coz my little eyes are drooping… (click to open a slightly larger version which is sharper for some reason)
I made this salad on Sunday, rather nice, but I added a creamy tomato salad dressing to it today to give it a bit more depth
Hummm – now what kind of bread is that? I’m wondering because we have something that looks exactly like it. It’s a German one I think – comes in rye, sunflower, pumpernickel, etc. A little pricey, but extremely good.
you’re spot on dear, it’s german rye bread with sunflower seed, toasted
It’s really the only bread I can eat with any kind of regularity, the wheat stuff just seems to not agree with me (boo). I comfort myself with the knowledge that this stuff is kinda better for me, no sugar or excess salt, no yeast…nice bit of protein too. Do you like it? I find it’s tangyness really compliments salads and soups, I don’t tend to eat it untoasted unless it’s with a nut butter, then and only then (god knows) does it taste okay raw, lol.
