Olympic Distractions Posted: 31 Jul 2012 08:31 PM PDT I am so distracted by the Olympics tonight, that I can barely focus enough to write this post! Because you can’t go anywhere or do anything without hearing who won, I already know the results of my two favorite competitions this evening (gymnastics and swimming), but I still personally think that watching the events on television might change the already announced results! So my big race? Can I even do 10 miles? It’s the Sea Legs Shuffle in Guilford, CT this Sunday. And it’s a TEN (10) mile race! I don’t know if I’m ready for 10 miles! If it was a 10K, that would be a very different story. Ten miles is scary! Regardless, I want to try! I don’t care if I walk, if I finish in 4 hours or if I need to be carried to the finish line. I just want to finish! So I plan to make my final decision on Friday about the Shuffle this weekend. But I am leaning towards participating. If I don’t, please don’t judge me! Okay, you can … just a little! Today: 4.5 miles. Weekly: 8 miles. Yearly: 418.22 miles.

Rockford, Day 4 Posted: 31 Jul 2012 07:38 PM PDT I made sure to wake up bright and early this morning to get a run in. Jerry has his very first race on Saturday (a 10K) and I asked him if he wanted to come with me. We drove to the Rockford YMCA to park, because there is a trail right next to it. I had looked up popular places to run in Rockford, and this was the number one pick. Today on the schedule was a 54 minute run--20 minutes easy, then six repeats of (2 minutes hard, 2 minutes easy), then 10 minutes easy. However, since I was running with Jerry, we decided to just run six miles easy, and not worry about pace. I was shocked at how many people were out! We must have seen about 40 people--running, walking, and biking on the trail. We just did an out-and-back route. I really liked the path we were on, but it was broken up by going through neighborhoods, which was kind of weird. We did six miles total, at an 11:16 pace. It was kind of fun, running with Jerry. I think we'll do that together more often ;) When we got back, I had to do a Wii Active workout. I finished it and now I'm halfway through the 30-day challenge! I made it a point to each much better today than I have been the past few days. I had cream of wheat for breakfast, and instead of going out to lunch with Jeanie and the kids, I had a veggie hotdog and an orange. After lunch, we went to Volcano Falls, which had go-carts, batting cages, an arcade, mini golf, etc. I had some fun with the batting cages: I did the slow pitch softball, and it was so fun! Then I had a long chat with Shawn (my brother-in-law) while the kids did the go-carts. We went to a Japanese steak house, called Shogun's, for dinner. We usually make it a point to go there every time we visit my sister. It was fantastic, per usual. First, we started with drinks. I got a "Shogun Cosmopolitan": I ordered the "Vegetable Dinner", and it was SO good. I got miso soup, salad, fried noodles, steamed brown rice, and tons of vegetables. It was fun to watch the chef cook our food... I had three Cosmo's. Don't judge. Tomorrow is our last day in Rockford, and then we are leaving on Thursday. I'm not sure what the plan is for tomorrow just yet. But I am kind of sad that our time at my sister's is coming to a close!

[New post] Green Apple Pizza

New post on Weight Loss and Corinne Green Apple Pizza by Weight Loss and Me I got your attention didn't I? Green apple pizza? As she gone mad? No my friends I haven't! I made an incredibly delicious pizza and I thought you would like to have the recipe. It's a nice meal to cook for a boyfriend, a sister or just a friend. A meal for two. For the crust, I used a tortilla wrap - 100 calories. The sauce, two tablespoons of BBQ sauce - 70 calories. The meat, veggie patties - 200 calories. The veggies, spinach - 25 calories. The "sweet", one green apple - 36 calories. The cheese, mix of habanero cheese, goat cheese and brie - 300 calories. The total, 731 calories, split in two, 366 calorie per serving! It's a delicious healthy meal to share with a loved one. I would recommend to try it, and make it your own! It doesn't need to be this recipe. Home-made pizzas are an excellent option when you are craving something out of the ordinary.
