My alarm went off at 5:45 this morning. I promptly pressed snooze.
Then I rolled out of bed – slowly, with a very bad backache. I got up, got jammies on (that probably tells you things you really didn’t want to know) and found all my gym stuff. I packed everything up and drove through the chilly -13c morning fog to the gym.
I didn’t get any cardio in today – simply stretched out and hit the hottub, pool and steam sauna. It felt good to stretch my back. I got home at 5 of 7 and climbed back into bed beside Sami and rubbed her sore back. (And ribs, baby is beating on them something bad since she turned)
I had a 12 grain bagel with cream cheese (mmm, naughty and nice) and had an activia yoghurt for a mid-morning snack. I had a sandwich and salad for lunch, and just finished a pork stir fry-ish meal with creamy sauce for dinner. Yummo. ( I used canned soup for the sauce to prove to Sami that I can cook without doing it totally from scratch)
All in all, a pretty good day. Tomorrow I’ll get a run in if my back isn’t too bad. Probably only a mile or so on the elliptical, but it’s start for my fat ass. Run fat boy – run!
Dinner Stir Fry-ish Recipe with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
- Red Pepper, cut into quarters, then cut julienne style
- 3/4 head of celery, with leaves, cut into narrow slices
- 4-5 Scallions, chopped up smallish
- 2 pork chops, fat trimmed and cut into strips
In a wok or fry pan heat oil at medium high heat. Add pork and stir fry until cooked through, no pink remaining. Season to taste (I suggest some dried garlic, pepper, salt and a bit of something spicyish, like red pepper flakes. Go easy.) Add veggies and stir fry until just soft. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup, and 2/3 a can of hot water. Mix well and simmer 10 minutes or so over medium-low heat. Serve over rice.
Wild or Brown rice would make this a little healthier, and you could certainly add other veggies, this is just what I had to cook with. Broccoli would be especially good. Some yellow squash would be nice too. Look for colourful foods to add good vitamins and minerals to your diet! Stir Fry is especially healthy because all the nutrients are not boiled away, but are kept in your meal for you to eat.
