Beautiful Blues 3/2/10

Hello all, hope everyone was good this past week.
Last few days I really enjoyed kenpo X and enjoyed stretch X . One hour of stretching most of the muscles. Then went out for lunch at future BIL, we all went public skating. That was a blast, felt great. I've played hockey for 30 years, but haven't been on skates for the last 5 years. Had a great workout, and now I think I'll throw that in as an extra workout.

debnu - Congrats, enjoy the new purchases.

Almomay - I think the new words today are coconut milk :laugh:

lcorrell - That sounded like delicious shrimp, I have learned to like brown rice now, but I think I just found my fav new rice.

Yesterday fiancee and I went for a drive, I picked up some protein powder, and we stopped at our once every 2-3 month Thai place. Oh my, delicious food. For some reason I have it in my mind it's alot healthier than chinese food. Very lite sauces with lots of vegetables and chicken/beef. Some sauces I can taste coconut milk in it as well.

Anyways, instead of ordering the white rice, I thought let's try the coconut rice.... oh... oh myyy... oh my oh my...

I said there's gotta be a way to use this with brown rice, so there are quite a few varieties/recipes on the internet.
Use brown rice, and instead of all water.
some use all coconut milk, some 1/2 coconut milk 1/2 with water.
Some use 1tbs of coconut oil instead of butter as well.

Coconut milk is on my next market trip.:laugh:

tthumper- you are making me hungry thinking about Thai food. I had been to a Thai restaurant with coworkers in the past and had some delicious meals which I'm pretty sure were based on coconut milk. My coworkers helped me order since they were familiar with the menu. This past independence day I went to a local Thai restaurant, nearby where we were watching the fireworks, with hubby and we didn't understand the menu and ordered awful things we didn't like...... My hubby now doesnt believe how awesome the food is. Maybe next time I'll look up a Thai restaurant on opentable.com and look at the ratings and menu.

Good Morning my Beautys!

mornin all

I might go running instead of dong my P90X today I need a variation in my routine. I will maybe do my P90x later today

Hi hi!!! I completely forgot the weigh-in this morning! My apologies. I may not be able to get near a scale until later tonight, which may mean i miss the team weigh-in. Ugh, so sorry, was very distracted this monday morning.

The weather in Toronto is GLORIOUS. Unbelievably spring-like, cool breeze, no snow on walkways. I planned a 14k run down by the lakefront in the morning. After fighting off some anxiety about running, i finally got my butt out the door by around noon. Thinking it'd take me 1:20, maybe 1:30 if i'm running slow, I was distressed to find myself heading far more west than i anticipated, with no hope to turn back! The path that i mapmyrun'd before didnt exist, and I ended up on a 19K loop (which i'm not really conditioned for atm... ow). I ran about 15, then walk-ran the last 4.

So! P90x huh? We like? It's blue-approved? I see the infomercials a lot but am pretty skeptical about things that have infomercials in general. Any feelings about p90x either way?

Happy Monday!

Peter- Awesome new pics. Keep up the great work!

Debnu- So excited about your new house!

smadag- Hope you enjoy p90x like many others have.

I got in my workout for today and did Insanity Core Cardio & Balance & Insane ABs for like 67 minutes.

I'll catch up with all later!

I wish I would have started downloading data from my Polar last year when I got it - it would be cool to see what I've done. but I do log it on here so I can still get a glimpse! What matters most is just doing it!

Today was supposed to be a run day but since I didn't rest after my 12m run day, did strength yesterday - today might be rest day....schedule crazy...trying to finish a HUGE project, son ortho appt and have evening filled with gathering baseball equipment for the season that starts Thurs
