Well I did it...after a slow start I finally did what I was supposed to do. I ran seven miles today! It was slow coming and I stopped to talk to people I saw on campus but I finished the seven miles. I have been trying to get better about eating, drinking more water, and exercising more regularly. It's hard to do when you're tired, work a job, and go to a school. But this week I did the bike, ran, the elliptical, and did some strength training! I hope to swim some next week. I have discovered I really like the bike...I can crank up my resistance and get a really good workout. I also hope to use the rowing machine next week. In the end, having my inhaler back, drinking a lot more water, and doing more activity helped for today's run.
Eating wise, I've cooked twice this week! Meatloaf (just like Grandmas!) one night and Barbeque Chicken another night! I was so proud! I couldn't wait to tell my grandma because it tasted just like hers! I've done good about not snacking as much though with the new cafe at work...that makes it so hard not to eat the delicious baked goods they have! (If you need a great coffee shop....check out Benelux Cafe! They are excellent. My personal favorite is the waffle with specaloos....trust me, it's amazing!)
Recipes for Meatloaf:
Take 1 pound of hamburger (80-90%), chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, Texas Pete, ketchup, 2/3 cup tomato sauce, 1 cup bread crumbs (Pepperidge Farm brand), salt, pepper, 1 egg, and crush red pepper. Mix all of that together. I know the ingredients aren't exact but I just put what I feel like I need. Put in a greased dish and bake in the oven at 350 until bubbling and brown around the edges!
I'll put the recipe for Barbeque Chicken and Potatoes up later. :)
Enjoy!
