Blogging is therapy

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.
