Good morning!
I hope everyone had a good day yesterday. I did! I hit my goals for the day and tried to stay warm during the storm. Unfortunately, since I took yesterday off, I had to get an early start today to make up for it at work. And by early, I mean I got up at 4:30am this morning to get to the office by 6am. I had to prep for the training I'm teaching for the next two days. It's going to be a long day.
Goals for today:
1. stay within calories
2. 10,000 steps
3. Yoga & strength

Had an off day yesterday, was exhausted so took the day off from exercise, relaxed after work and an early night. Today I am more rested and ready to pick up again. Before work I completed the final day of my 30 Day crunch challenge, 150 crunches, Day 10 - 10 burpees (to get ready for the upcoming obstacle course race season), and a light leg workout. Have my hour fitness class tonight. So should make my steps, eat well, and have a good day. Looking forward to the end of this month when T4 are done and out the door.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!0 -
Good morning everyone!!!
It's another beautiful day in my corner of the world
it's sunny!!!!!!
Yesterday was family sledding time:) we had a blast climbing hills and zooming down them fast in our orange sled. Calories were great, water and protein were awesome!
Today I'm excited to work on my pull-ups program along with some other awesome moves and a walk later. The day I will master the pull-ups I will shout it everywhere from the top of my lungs) it will take time and some pain but in my mind it will work out beautifully. One of my biggest conviction is that appearance is a consequence of fitness. If the physical conditioning is top notch there is no way your body isn't looking great
Have a fabulous day everyone!! Dare to make a crazy goal for yourselves, break it down to small pieces and start building!0 -
Off to outlet mall with Mrs.; Freezing outside - but the sun is out!
Started with burning 345 calories doing 60 minutes of walking; then a small breakfast: 106 calories less 345 exercise; negative (-) 239 going into lunch. I'll use those later
BREAKFAST was Pear (U S D A) - Green Anjou, Raw, 25 g; Homemade - Cooked Spaghetti Squash No Salt 1 oz., Fresh Blueberries 1 oz (Usda); Fresh Raspberries, 1 oz; Egg Busters, 1/4 cup; Jones Dairy Farm - Canadian Bacon, 1 slice

NikonPal I'm coming over right now! Please tell me how you cooked that salmon. I can cook pretty much anything but salmon. I always mess it up and prefer to buy frozen since spoiling fresh salmon is way to luxurious for me:)0

It would be my pleasure - except - I have never made salmon -- this was Wild Caught Skinless Haddock Boneless Fillet (my cheaper alternative to the the halibut I love)...The coloring is from a mix of Tuscan seasoning and a little paprika.
You made my day!

Oh NikonPal you're so awesome!!!
What is your special cooking technique for fish ?
Please be as detailed as possible
I was being nice when I complained about salmon, truth is I don't know how to cook any fish or seafood

Not sure you’ll like this – my entire focus when making this up was on reducing calories (letting me use them elsewhere).
I use Olivio (few sprays) as a replacement for rubbing fish with olive oil. I then sprinkle a small amount (less than a ¼ tsp) of Tuscan seasoning on it. The brand I use lists the ingredients as: (Salt, Mustard Flour, Turbinado Sugar, Black Pepper, Allspice, Chili Pepper, Coriander, Turmeric, Cayenne Pepper, Nutmeg, Fenugreek, Cardamom, not more than 2% Silicon Dioxide added to prevent caking.) [Only 5 calories for ¼ tsp).
I also sprinkle a bit of paprika for slight pepper taste and more importantly for me – color. Obviously you can select any kind of seasoning that includes spices you like or make your own from scratch. (Basil, parsley, thyme, oregano etc can also go well with fish). I then let the fish set for a few minutes to absorb the flavor.
I use a few sprays of Olivio to coat the pan and add a small amount of water mixed with lemon juice (again to avoid oil and prevent sticking). Place fish skin-side down. I then cook at high for about 5 minutes then turn over and cook for another 1-2 minutes. I’ll squeeze a lemon wedge on top and then pair with a side-dish. That’s something else to think about – if your side dish has a lot of seasoning you won’t want to over-power the fish.
Once in a while, I like a dab of ketchup. I use Heinz Reduced Sugar Ketchup – it has 75% less sugar and one-third the calories.
Just play and have fun.
Speaking of fish – you might like this article: "Fresh" May Not Be What It Seems” They also have a lot of recipes under the fish cooking tab.

NikonPal you just made my day!
That link was precious!!! I'm buying fish this weekend I will try to find the same one you cooked and also the seasoning!!! Can't thank you enough! 0 -
Oh yes, the kind of fish I got last time was individually wrapped and sealed. So relieved to hear good things about properly frozen fish.
I did forget to thank you for the other article link you posted: ever since I read it, I always type USDA next to item I'm searching for. Ever since I started doing that, my iron levels have suddenly got better
Just goes to show we can all profit from extra knowledge!0
