Wow, what a great date night last night!  It’s fun having a date with your husband (and on a week night too)!  My step-son works valet at a high end movie theater.  Check out their site at: http://www.goldclasscinemas.com.  Each theater only has about 40 seats AND ALL OF THEM ARE RECLINERS! Check it out! So we got there around 5:45 and they sat is in the...

I had a last minute project to do, and by the time I looked up to see what time it was it was already 1:45.  If I worked out, I wouldn’t eat until 2:45 and that’s just too late for me.  Oh well, at least Ed and I got out today! Lunch: 5 ounces chicken breast 1/2 cup homemade roasted red pepper sauce 6 ounces...

I was the only one in the fitness center at lunch – love when that happens!  I have exactly 5 minutes left on my lunch, so this will be quick! I ended up doing the elliptical machine, hill climb, and my new PR?  Level 18 baby!  I was a sweaty mess after that!  5 minute warm-up, 30 minute hill climb, 5 minute abs, 5 minutes...

It was the coldest yet this morning – 19 degrees!  I decided to take Ed with when I dropped off Hannah to school so that we could go straight to the trail and have more time to walk.  We walked about 35 minutes – I was prepared, scarf, hat, gloves.  I was wearing my pajama pants, so next time I’ll wear thicker sweats – but...

One of my favorite pieces of cookware that Tony brought into our marriage is a cast iron wok – it holds such remarkable heat!  And speaking of heat, this is what I used on mine and boy, by the time mine was done I was about hacking up a lung!  Um, note to self, add this AFTER the stir fry is done off the heat!  Here...

We found it last year (maybe two years ago?) and just cracked up when we saw it.  I thought I would share now that its snowing outside! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTs5eKZ0i1E]

Wow, that workout kicked my a$$!  It’s amazing in just a few days (okay, maybe 7!) how quickly out of shape I can get.  I did Jillian’s routine today and it was tough.  It took me about 40 minutes to complete the circuit, with a 5 minute warm up and 5 minutes of S T R E T C H I N G – which...
