Food for Today

I had an apricot before my morning workout. I did stair stepper for 15 minutes and then treadmill walking for 20 minutes. The stair stepper almost killed me.

Then I had one pancake with syrup

I had cucumbers for snack. (We have sooo many in our garden.)

For lunch I had left-over lasagna with extra green onions (from a friends garden)
and green peppers from my mother-in-laws garden. :)

I had a snickers for a snack.

Dinner was a wonderful, easy grilled chicken recipe that a friend gave to me. I put the chicken in an olive oil and lemon pepper marinade and then grilled it. Simple and delicious. My kids kept munching on it all night.
I put a can of diced tomatoes in a pan that had green chili peppers and some other seasonings in it along with garden green onions and banana peppers. We put the sauce over whole grain noodles and had the chicken on the side as well as, of course, cucumbers.

I had LOTS of water today and have felt GREAT.

Today I went to a friends house in the morning to hang-out and chat and to let the kids play. We came home for lunch and then quiet time. After that we went to another friends house for water play. It was fun as we haven't left the house much since getting back from our vacation - except for a tour of a local candy factory yesterday.

We had dinner, fed the neighbor's dogs that we are caring for while they are away and then watched Man vs. Wild as a family. My boys LOVED that show. 3yo is still awake now and wanting to have his nightly play time with mommy and dear hubby is upstairs doing the dishes. I've also got a load of laundry in the drier. I forgot to start it this morning. Oh how I hate when I do that. Luckily it didn't smell so I dried it without rewashing it.

My biggest 'hate' is when I forget to take the clothes out of the the dryer. (True confession time...your post reminded me that I've had dried clothes in the dryer for 2 days... Guess I'll heat up the iron this week... ;-0

It was late when I wrote that post and didn't have the energy to think of a better word than hate. I do not hate when I forget to turn on the dryer. I dislike it. :)

Confession - I don't iron. It is one thing I cannot stand. If they have wrinkles I wear them and wait for the wrinkles to work themselves out. If something is really really bad then I put it back in with the next load and that usually helps. Hubby has learned to buy wrinkle free dress shirts and I try my best to get them out quickly when I know they are in the dryer.
