I am mad at the world today. It started out as a not so bad day.....while I was still in bed. I have been dropping everything today, and my patience level is extra low. I walked with J this morning, we got caught in the rain which was interesting. It definitely motivating! I would say it was about 40 minutes. I'm a little sore which is a good sign!
I made the green smoothie for my after work out snack. I wasn't super hungry but I new if I didn't have something I'd be too hungry later. I think I'm going to make the smoothie after each work out. I think it would be a good replenisher. The spinach, banana, PB.....all a good combo.
Tonight for dinner we tried spaghetti squash. This is the link to the recipe http://dandydishes.blogspot.com/2011/10/spaghetti-squash-au-gratin.html#.UFhgxVHYGkw. I substituted 0% Greek yogurt for the sour cream, but I did add some extra cheddar. I can't help myself with cheese. LOL The verdict: The kids and the hubby did not enjoy it as much as I did. The kids wouldn't eat it, hubby ate it but I could tell wasn't excited. I however enjoyed it. It had the flavor of hashbrown casserole and a similar texture so for me it tasted like a carb. I saved the leftovers for me to have during the week.
A pet peeve of mine is when I spend time on recipes and cooking and it goes unappreciated. My husband doesn't like eating this over and over so I am always looking for new recipes to try. Not only looking for new recipes, but also grocery shopping and prepping. The kids wound up having a bowl of cereal. Normally I don't make separate meals, but it was a 3 out of 4 "no" on the meal so.....cereal it was.
Tomorrow I am going to try the C25K again. Oh, the banana muffins were really good! Very filling and definitely fill the chocolate craving! The link to those http://www.glamour.com/health-fitness/blogs/vitamin-g/2011/04/afternoon-snack-the-cure-for-a.html
Last complaint......I hate helping the kids with homework. VERY frustrating.
