I think that no matter how much exercise you do, when you switch types it just works everything so differently it's like you are coming from a sedentary position! I did boxing for the first time in a while recently (love, love love it, but believe it or not, it is hard on my bad knee...lots of torgue and being in constant side to side movement makes it big time sore) and I couldn't believe how sore my shoulders, lats and triceps were....even though I exercise these muscles out constantly. Just moved a different way. Boxing is a great cardio workout AND with the hitting aspect (either bag or someone with mitts) really releases stress. BAM! take that stupid printer that keeps jamming! Things like that.

Sculler62 - oh hey...I just got your name. You row! takes me a while. Congrats on the 20 lbs. I am slowly losing...about 7 pounds over past month. But, hey it is going down. Better than the last 2 years when all it doe was go up.

Office is closed today due to snow and I will have to cancel trainer so all home exercise today. I will most likely do bands and body weight squats and abs. I am working remotely, sporadically, and hope to be able to log 4 hours worked since having taken off Friday I was not really prepared for a day's work at home.

Good recipe - Mash cauliflower. Add egg, panko, pamesean cheese, salt pepper and I added onion and red pepper flakes. Saute in sparing amount of oil on medium heat. Oh yes, make into thin patties. They don't want to stick together real well raw, but as they cook and brown slowly they congeal. Look lilke potato pankcakes. I am not a huge veggie eater, so I consider this another way to get a veggie into me - so I sacrifice a few calories to oil, cheese and panko. I have no meansurements to give since my friend, from whom I got the recipe, and I cook the same way...just throw things together until they look or "feel" right. I used one egg, 1/2 parm,scant 1/2c. panko for a small head of cauliflower.

One thing about my efforts to not eat much processed food or grain is that I have learned that I can eat certain veggies after all! After a life time of turning my nose up at asparagras I have learned that I can eat it in a stir fry when cut into small pieces barely cooked (those limp little spears just never appeaed to me). Brussel spouts I will eat shredded and cooked a lot of ways. My biggest problem I think was that my mom used to cook everything until it was dead and the mushy texture of all her vegetables just grossed me out.
