Hello out there,

Hey followers,

I promise you that we haven't fallen off the face of the earth, or worse fallen off our new way of living. Candace is still working crazy crazy hours, however her boss is starting to burn out from all the days in the row without rest and is letting Candace have days off!!! Last week she worked only 4 days, but still put in 48 to 50 hours. This is very good for me, I get to spend time with my lovely wife and she is able to go to the gym 2-3 times a week now.

We are going to start going to the gym really early in the morning (like 5 or so) 3 times a week so that Candace will be able to continue working out more regularly. I will let everyone know how that goes, probably on Wednesday we will be doing the psycho workout hours, but being healthy is important to us, and going to bed a little earlier isn't the end of the world.

I lost some 1.5 pounds last week and Candace lost right about that, I mention this because I felt last week I wasn't eating as well as I should. My breakfast and lunches were healthy and sensible, but dinner is seemingly another story. I have grown tired of salads and Chicken or Turkey Burgers and the like so a couple of crummy food nights. Does anyone have any suggestions to make some yummy healthy recipes? I am fresh out of ideas and don't want to make bad decisions in order to break the monotony (?).

I am happy though, I finally get my bike back tomorrow after 3 weeks of waiting for parts to arrive. So on the days that I don't go to the gym, I am going to bike to school, so I can get ready for school at the end of August. So if any Sparks inhabitants see a yellow road bike with a large Ape on it, please be aware its probably me.

Well that's all that's fit to print....

  2. Do you guys like wraps? Just throw some veggies, chicken strips, or even deli turkey and some light salad dressing.

    Do you guys have a slow cooker/crock pot? If so, you can just throw a bunch of stuff (i.e., chicken, pork tenderloin,and lots of veggies) together in that and let it cook down. I have yummy veggie chilli, if you want that recipe.

    Stir-fry is awesome. Again, just pile on the veggies. I add a block of tofu, but you can do any type of protein, really.

    I've got lots more ideas. Let me know if you are interested.

    Love,
    Lisa
