Finished reflexology videos 3&4. Still haven't had time to fit in the kick boxing. Hoping either tomorrow or Friday I will start them. Just have to finishing putting my exercise mats together so I don't fall on my but. My exercise room has hardwood floors and it sounds like elephants are tromping up there. So I'm hoping the mats will quiet things down a bit.
Still haven't decided on the food thing yet.4 -
Finished reflexology video 3 doing 1 a day! Will finish tomorrow. Haven't locked down a food yet! I have a sick kid again! Story of my life!2

So you guys got me thinking about foods I hated as a kid. Did anybody's grandmother force Tomato aspic down their throats? This was the grossest thing. The texture is what got to me. Gelatin, tomato soup, chunks of celery and chicken -- or whatever else they wanted to throw in.
So in the spirit of the challenge I looked up recipes. -- my family thinks I'm nuts and it is a crime against my bunt cake pan, but I actually have an aspic setting up in the fridge. It was an updated recipe. Instead of plain gelatin I used sugar free lemon jello. You use tomato sauce instead of soup. Plus I'm sure Nana never added 1/8 teaspoon of hot sauce. I could not bring myself to put chicken or shrimp in it. So, tomorrow night I will have the results.

@120maggie I don't envy you that
my mom has been bringing up recipes that I couldn't stand when I was a kid. I told her I would only make a small amount of anything, not to get her hope up1 -
Good lord, @120maggie, that looks revolting
You are really taking one for the team with this challenge. I've heard of aspic but never encountered one. In theory, I guess adding shrimp might be tasty - like a big shrimp cocktail - but a thick and slimy one. Godspeed to you in your battle with this one.
Not much of note to report here. Two dog walks (tonight's walk was getting really cold and nasty) and a treadmill run done. Still have two more foot videos and the food trial to go.3 -

I used my yoga mat, which is 1/2 inch thick when I did it. Whenever I exercise upstairs I use one of my 2 mats so I do hear complaints when I am done. My other mat I use downstairs while I am watching tv and I do yoga from my iPad from saved YouTube videos.1 -
@120maggie I think I agree with your family that is a crime against your bundt pan!2

Already arrived! Sweet.
Ate salad with Brussel Sprouts.
The Sprouts in the salad aren't that bad. Wasn't my favorite but certainly edible in a salad. I definitely prefer them to Kale. Still a little tentative on eating cooked BS.
Salad with BS... OK.
Kale. NOT!
What bar are we going to?

I'LL BE UPDATING THE WEIGHT-LOSS LEADER SHEET TOMORROW EVENING (THURSDAY).
BE SURE TO UPDATE YOUR WEIGHT, IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF THE CHALLENGE!2 -
@Vowder, that salad mix looks interesting - it might even convince me to try broccoli.

I made beet chips last year. I used my mandoline to slice them and almost took a finger off (the good news is I wouldn't have been able to see the blood because by that time the whole kitchen looked as if an axe murderer had killed a family of 5). I roasted them in the oven after adding a bit of before seasoning. They were really quite good, and roasting them took away the dirt smell and taste.
The bad news about fixing beets and eating them is that everything gets stained--hands, sink, poop. I was so freaked out after I went to the bathroom the next day, I almost called the doctor before I remembered the beets.6 -

I wish they sold that at my grocery store!! I love everything in it - except for BS and Kale. Never tried that yet.
We will have to start looking for our 'watering hole' and line up our bartenders!!1 -

I hope it tastes better than it looks!!1 -
I found the bar!! It's called The Speakeasy Rooftop Bar!! What a view!! Still taking applications for our bartenders!4 -
Oh aspic-that stuff is nasty! We have a Christmas golf tournament that's really really fun then a luncheon afterwards. Many years ago, one of the older ladies was in charge of the tournament and she chose aspic for the luncheon. Yeah, that didn't go over so well.
@vowder-I really like raw Kale in a salad. You have to massage it though first. Pick out the woody stems, add a vinaigrette then squeeze the kale for a couple of minutes until it turns a bright green. So good! Throw in some pumpkin seeds and feta and yum!
I'm going to the store today so gonna browse and see what I can see. I don't want to wait until we get to the Mediterranean restaurant on Saturday in case it falls through.
Good job team getting to Thailand already!3 -
WE GOT HERE SO QUICKLY WE CAN SPEND
"ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK"

OR SKY HIGH?
This is reportedly the highest open air bar in the world!

@mamaelf2008: I was so excited to get to Bangkok, I totally didn't see your "Speakeasy"! It looks gorgeous!
@120maggie: The pan must be a pretty one. The results...ummm...maybe Maggie will like it! Not like Fluffy spitting out Ingrid's beets!
@GSXRGIRL61: I shouldn't be laughing over your poop story because it must have been scary, but it is pretty darn funny!

So I found a few bartenders. The fur baby just happen to find one too. I also found a personal chef. Although @Vowder I don't think will be too interested in eating. He will have his hands full!! Hahahaa
Great job team!!! We're rocking it this week!!!
Now I must get back to work. Have a great day everyone4 -
Can I have this one please? Only because Tara wants to play with his dog! Yeah, and that's the only reason!mamaelf2008 wrote: » 3
