hard to do when I'm not really "Swimming" But jogging/sprinting (HIIT) and doing circiut training in the water.

it SEEMS like it's less work but trust me, it's way hard because you're working against the resistance of the water because you're upright by a belt. Jog one lap, sprint for a min, Do crunches, jumping jacks, burpees, pull ups, jog another lap, sprint another minute, repreat the resistance work...

I know I'm burning approx 700-900cals per pool work out maybe even more. Not joking.

I DID IT! I got the spicy Thai salad at McDonalds with a warm grilled chicken breast, and only used half the dressing packet.

There we go, new food diary up in my blog!

Today will be BAD DAY though. I think I'll have a tuna salad sammich with cilantro mayo for lunch, then we go out for supper. My personal challenge, I'll get the salad instead of the fries! *or at least onion rings...if we go to Wendys it'll be the baked potato with just some cheddar and broccoli topping*

I'M DOWN 4lbs! YAY ME

Peking Beef Tenderloin Kebabs

Kun Pun Gi
Deep-fried chicken sauteed with dried chili pepper

new food diary up in teh blog!

The oven method is too dangerous because it has to be left partially open so the moisture can escape, I have a 2yo who just can't be kept in his room for the full 6hrs it takes to dry the meat.

Just posted on Freecycle asking if there were any out there lol. Worth a shot, there will be a few offers from me in the next little bit as I sort through clothes that are too small for the kiddos and maternity clothes for me.

I wanna find a cheap food dehydrator so I can make my own beef jerky.

So lean...so protien packed and SO DARNED GOOD

I don't use a bread machine.

AAAALLL By hand baby.

great upper body workout kneading that dough. Seriously. I break a sweat doing it.

New Food diary up in mah blog! (points to siggy, it's the DA! Link...just follow the instructions there)

Nothing beats home made bread...*sorry Noire, maybe after this I'll bake you up a nice whole wheat baguette with some garlic butter to go with your well earned plate of spagetti*

we don't drink soda in this house very often. If it is consumed it's Jones' pure cane sugar stuff. I know bad, but it's not that HFCS stuff.

lol The "Jog" thing won't happen unless you count my "20k" workout in the pool. I jog the equivilant of 20 kilometers in the pool or so each night....along with the resistance/strength excersises I do in between laps.

New Food Diary up in mah blog nao!!!

Today is a no swim day since the pool is closed. BUT I have alot of activity to do, Mow the lawn, bake bread....

My dad is a hunter we ate alot of moose, deer, rabbit and other meats growing up YUM!

We lived by lake huron and lake erie too, I used to love fish til we went fishing one day and my aunt's dad didn't clean the fish right and I spent most of my dinner fishing though the bones. It totally sucked, i was 14 at the time. I never had fish that bad before.

Best thing about KC is its all about BBQ here!
Steaks, Pork, Beef cuts, chicken, you name it YUM!
Plus alot the the stores around here get fresh fish in from what I have seen.

Now I want some BBQ

I hate freshwater fish. I always have. They are WAY too difficult to de-bone properly.

Well you need to move to the West or East coasts then. I would NOT touch any seafood that far away from the coasts. At all..Ever. I'm a seafood snob. I spent my teen years in a fishing village, Nothing and I mean NOTHING tastes better than Fresh from the trap lobster, or fresh off the line Pollock. nothing. Here, Fresh from the boat salmon, flounder, shrimp...I love it, sad I can only eat Seafood when Alpha is gone because he can't abide by it in the house *allergies and just the smell sets him off*

When you live near the coasts your whole life, You get really really spoiled when it comes to fresh and wonderful seafood.

I will never eat farmed salmon. First off; Salmon farming is one of the big causes of overfishing ironically. See, They fish for fish to make the feed, and they feed the salmon LOTS of feed to get them to grow fast. Their meat is less healthy than the wild caught stuff, due to the amounts of fats, and it's not the healthy kind either. Farmed salmon has been shown to half almost as much cholesterol as a steak at times! *shudder*

Give me wild fish thanks. Farmed fish are nasty. Heck I prefer wild meat over domestic any day as well. When we move out east I'm gonna apply for the Moose draw and deer tags and get Dad to go hunt for us. Game birds are WAY better too.

I miss my venison..*sigh*

I read and heard on the Doctor's tv show that salmon is bad accually they feed those fish red dye pills to give em there color, and red dyes is one that causes alot of problems like ADD and stuff in kids.... if I remember right blue number'd dyes, red and yellow all cause ADD and ADHD and other problems... stay away from them!

FARMED Salmon is nasty crap that is fed that kind of stuff.

I only get wild caught Pacific salmon to eat.

*looks at spirulina wafers for fish*

Umm..I'll pass...

Everything else though, I'm game!

http://www.recipezaar.com/Cauliflower-Latkes-14751 Gonna try those, but baked instead of fried...and only one so like gonna half the recipe, with my Turkey Roll ups at lunch

I switched it up a bit though, baked em instead of fried, used some savory, parsley, garlic and onion powders for the seasonings, and whole wheat soda cracker crumbs instead of the Matzo meal.

New food diary up! (trust me Noire, when you have kids you'll understand that it's more of a hassle to NOT eat when they're not allowed than to put up with the constant grabbing of food off your plate when they're hungry. Poor lil dude was starving and it wouldn't have been nice to taunt him with foods yesterday...he was miserable enough as it is)
