New Chinese Recipe, 2 Miles & Upper Body ST, Kinect Sports

Thanks, invisible friends! Still on a cloud from all of that pre-cooking - it just makes me so happy! Thank you for sharing your ab plans - sounds like you guys mix it up more than me. I was thinking of doing a different ab workout each month and seeing what happens? I dunno - I will say that i'm feeling sore each day after ab workouts so I consider that a success. On another note, i've measured every Friday so far this year (yes, that's two Fridays. I rock LOL). It's going well and I can say that i've definitely put on a couple of inches in the hip area - eek. It's all good though - i'm ON IT!

On to Friday, pretty chill. I got into work around 9:30 (weather hours), worked and walked 2 miles during lunch and did back, biceps, shoulder and tricep exercises. After lunch I worked more, then left the office at 3:30, hit up the library, made appts for Reuben (haircut)/Remy (spay) and SUV (oil change). I got home around 5 and cooked more - duh! I had two more chicken recipes to make and couldn't wait!! Here is one of the ones I made:

After dinner we had a few beers then settled in for some Kinect bowling - it's SO fun! I think I bowled like a 156 or something - awesome!! I think my favorite part is the little videos it shows of you bowling - hilarious! We also tried some track and field - I'm not a huge fan. After game playing it was time for bed - wonderful Friday, although it felt like Wednesday.

Q: Have you tried Kinect yet? I really like it! Can't wait for Mary T to bring over her dancing game next weekend!

Q: Are you a fan of Chinese food? I can't get enough - i'm always trying to find yummy Asian-inspired dishes to replace my take-out cravings!
