I had high hopes of riding my bike outside yesterday morning. I had my Road I.D., my glucose tabs, my cell phone. Only one problem – the tires were really flat! It had been almost six weeks since I asked Tony to put air in the tires and apparently they don’t last that long!
So I went the Exercise TV On Demand and found two good workouts:
Okay, the Jackie Abs routine kicked my ass – I am not gonna lie – I did about 50% of this workout and I can feel it today!
I was wondering what to put together for breakfast when I thought of doing a breakfast pizza on one of my pitas. I didn’t have any pizza sauce, and although I’ve turned my nose up to bbq sauce on a pizza, I decided to give it a try. It was so good! My pizza: 1 pita, 2 tablespoons spicy bbq sauce, 1.5 ounce grilled chicken, yellow peppers, spinach, 1/4 cup egg beaters and 1 ounce of mozzarella cheese:

My friend and I went to the gym at lunch. We read that we could race each other, but we couldn’t figure out how to do it. So we picked the same race and would compare the time when we finished. Turns out, that’s all you have to do is start two bikes on the same race at the same time! We could follow each other, although we pretty much didn’t figure it out until the end. It was such a great motivator, I know I pushed myself harder because of the challenge – thanks Ren! 😀
Lunch was something I haven’t had in a long time – shrimp stirfry!
And later on I had a snack – and reason number 10,101 I love Tony – he finds me spicy shit!

Tony came to pick me up so we could get our truck from the shop . . .$460 later 🙁 we were firing up the grill. Since it was going to take a while, I made a cheese and crack plate – we loved this blue cheese because it didn’t knock our socks off, just a mild blue cheese:
I seared our roast and then cooked it on top of a cast iron skillet with the fat side up. Then let it rest while the corn cooked:
I studded the roast with garlic and then just a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary.

Hannah loves when we grill because that means smores! Look at these giant marshmallows I found!
My friend gave me her neighbors zucchini. Not sure its big enough!
I made Kevin’s Blueberry Zucchini Bread. I am going with some co-workers to see the B-52’s at Ravinia tonight, and that is my contribution. The only thing I did different was to add lemon zest to the batter and do a lemon glaze on top, to make it more like a dessert.
Come back tomorrow for a giveaway – I just passed 300,000 page views! 😀
I love love love Jackie’s ab workouts! They kick my booty as well but it’s SOOO worth the feeling in there end!
Holy blog hits and zucchini! A big thumbs up to both! That BBQ pizza looks great, too! Off to check up on the 101 Day of Summer challengers!! And then off to run myself 😉
i love BBQ sauce on pizza! yes bike tires can get flat pretty quickly. that workout you did at lunch sounds fun 🙂
I love Exercise TV too! That is my go-to when I don’t have time to hit the gym. I’ve tried some of the shorter work-outs when I don’t have a big chunk of time. But I, too, have had my butt kicked in my own living room. At least no one saw…
Wow, congrats on the page views!
Grilled corn on the cob is SO good.
Good for you for having a plan B. If I don’t have a plan B I usually end of skipping. So I’m glad you stuck to it! And those smores look delish!! Congrats on the huge HIT number. Excited about the give-away!!
Nice giant zuke. That shrimp stirfry looks so good. I have been meaning to get outside and ride my bike, but the weather always looks so ready to rain that it deters me.
pickles and horseradish – now you’re talking!
Good job finding exercises to do on TV! 🙂 YUM to everything! lol
I love Jackie Warner’s workouts because even if I can only do a few moves…I still get results! I’m always sore the next day. Always!
Dude that zucchini is epic. Holy crap.
Mmm, I love zucchini bread & I love how gigantic zucchini can get 🙂
Get some more air in those tires! 🙂
Congrats on the hits! I can totally see how you got so many your blog is awesome. Adding the breakfast pizza to my list of your meals that I must try to dup :). Have a great day!
Yum yummy breakfast pizza! I love the idea of bbq sauce & chicken – your eats always look/sound so good to me!
Breakfast pizza sounds and looks so much better than the boring cereal I had for breakfast this morning.
What a nice hubby you have to pick you up spicy treats!
I have never tried Exercise TV…I’m going to have to look into it. It looks great!
Congrats on 300,000! So exciting!!
Ooooh, BBQ Chicken Pizza is one of my alltime favorites! Especially if you use a little smoked cheddar or smoked gouda in addition to the mozzarella.
I would think any Jackie Warner workout would be really hard but any workout that concentrates on one part of your body will definitely kick your ass. You sure are doing a great job with your workouts Biz!
300,000 hits. I can only imagine.
Your roast looks awesome Biz!!!
And I would totally eat a smores with a huge marshmallow!
Yay for hitting 300,000! I think it’s pretty cool that you can race someone like that in the gym. What an awesome motivator!
Wow, the zucchini is huge!
congrats on hitting 300,000!!! 🙂
That’s a gi-normous zucchini! That’s a weapon, not a vegetable!
I’m dreaming of those pickles…at 6am, even.
