New recipe ideas

I have tried a couple of new things, I dont think I have kept track of them all but here are a few ideas. First, I am a new convert of Tabouleh and couscous. Its healthy and very tasty. It much more filling if you put it in a salad or a lettuce wrap.

Another thing I made the other night was Spinach and Parmesan cakes. I thought they were pretty good but Jesús felt maybe they needed a little something. I made some rice pilaf to go with them and I thought it was perfectly filling.

I loved how colorful they were. A perfect St. Patricks day dinner!
I also got on the scales yesterday and found I had bounced back to 183 which isnt too bad considering how badly I have been eating and not exercising. So now I plan to get back on track and drop those 33 lbs I still have to lose. After that, maybe a new goal? But first I need to tackle the task at hand.

I need to post, badly

Okay, its been a tough couple of months. I started working out about 3 times a week and I was feeling much better about my progress. Unfortunately I got sick and so is everyone else in our house. My chest is so congested that I cant breath, if I start to get my heart rate up I cant seem get enough oxygen. So I have had about 3 weeks of absolutely no exercising besides cleaning and chasing kids. I hope I am getting better, I feel that its not nearly as bad as it was and my cough is almost all gone. Hopefully I can use this one more week to get all better and then next week I am going to start again. I know it will be difficult because I will have to go through being sore again but it will be worth it. My husband got the date for his 10 year reunion next year, so now I know my cut off line to be my hottest. I even have the dress I want to wear picked out in my sisters J.Crew catalog. I can do it. I just have to push it.
