I went on Saturday and finally got my new running shoes. They even took back the pair that didn't work for me. I debated about whether or not I wanted to do all 7 miles in them, but ended up taking the chance. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.
Distance: 7 miles
Time: 1 hour 11 minutes
Avg. Pace: 10:10 min./miles
Aidyn also made out pretty well on our trip into KC. Old Navy was having a sale on dresses so I picked up two of the exact same dress in different colors. The girl knows what she likes. We also headed over to Costco and I was able to find two more little dresses. Actually, I can't say little. I bought size 5T in most of the dresses because she is just so stinkin tall. I don't want her growing out of these dresses mid-summer so we went bigger. If you don't know, kids clothes go by age for the most part. 6-12 months for baby clothes for example, and then when they get older it's 2T (toddler), 3T and so on. Eventually they get to the normal small, med, large sizes. So, for Addy to be wearing 5T, it means she's a big kiddo. (Josh, I think that explanation was for your benefit.) We had a fashion show for her stuffed animals when we got home.
Tomorrow is a stretch and strength day. I'll happily take that. I think I'm going to lift as opposed to the BodyFlow I've been taking. I also get weighed in for my Slim-down Challenge. We'll see if I've lost anything this week. I've really upped my veggie/fruit intake so I hope that shows.
I'm actually pretty proud of myself for tonight's dinner. I stepped out of my comfort area and had fish for dinner.
I normally don't eat fish unless it's in the form of a stick or 'n' chips so this is pretty good for me. Before you get too excited though, it's frozen and heated in the oven. No fancy work by me. I actually have no idea how to cook fish correctly or yummily. But, fish is good for me so I guess it's time I learn.
Off to bed now. Need to get my sleep so I'm well rested to be grumpy about snow tomorrow. It takes a lot to bitch and moan about snowy weather. :)
Gooood Night!
Do you cook fish at home? What kind and how do you prepare it?
Congratulations on your news shoes - I'll bet your feet are really happy, too.
ReplyDeleteWe make fish at home all the time. Usually salmon - I preheat the oven to about 300 then heat a cast iron skillet on high and coat with olive oil. A little salt, pepper and whateverotherspiceyouwant then sear it flesh side down for about a minute, flip it to skin side down and then pop it in the over for 15 or 20 minutes (slightly firm to the touch but still with a little give). When Foster makes it he will throw some butter in the pan to get melty and then use a spoon to pour it over the fish, and a squeeze of lemon. Or, I'll do it pretty much the same way but no salt or pepper and then brush some bbq sauce on it before I put it in the oven. Actually, we haven't done fish in a couple weeks so I think you've inspired me to go get some.
Good luck at your weigh in!
Thanks! That sounds great. Ok, I have a new goal...make my own fish without being scared of it!
