Re: Fitness Check-in
1. Goal - exercise five days a week
2. Results - Better this week. I walked the dog every day, and probably three of those walks were two+ miles. I made it to yoga on Wednesday and did an elliptical workout yesterday, which felt awesome. It seemed easier on my back and I haven't worked up that much of a sweat in a long time.
3. I've been making pasta every week this summer with whatever fresh veggies I have in the fridge. I saute the veggies in olive oil and put them on top of penne pasta with some parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. I almost always use carrots, green and red peppers, and then whatever else we have (mushrooms, asparagus, etc). It's an easy, light dinner.
1. Overall goal is to lose the belly flab from 2 babies in 2 years. Weekly goal is simply to do something active outside of work 4 days/week.
2. Not too bad. We rode our bikes up the Monon to Broad Ripple for breakfast on Saturday. It was one hour round-trip, and pulling the bike trailer behind me was a real workout! I also did some house cleaning on my hands and knees for at least an hour this week. Sadly, it felt like a good workout too! Today I work in the yard/garden for several hours. Wish there was more time on weekdays to fit activity in after work.
3. Grilled veggie and mushroom kabobs. Just toss baby portabellas, zucchini, pearl potatoes, onions, etc in olive oil, salt/pepper or other seasoning and throw on the grill. Chris grills some meat separately but the mushrooms do the job for me.
