That's what I thought this morning when my alarm went off at 5:35am for the gym. I may have over-exceeded myself on my lift session yesterday and every part of my body ached. I knew I had to get up though! Now that it's the mid-morning, I am so happy I did! I didn't have to lug a big gym bag on the bus and train and I can go home after work and just relax before the BBQ.
Also, I have to thank Monster for getting up with me to go to the gym. That motivated me a lot too.
The issue I am having with working out after work is that we don't eat until 8:30pm or 9pm and I go to bed very full. I really shouldn't complain b/c last night's dinner was DELISH! We grilled bbq chicken (Sweet Baby Ray's!) and asparagus (EVOO and s/p) and had my favorite couscous (whole wheat with a splash of EVOO, parsley, dried cranberries and chopped walnuts) on the side. It was a great summer meal.
Tonight we are going to a BBQ with some friends and there is going to be lots of great food there! I made the famous Blue Frog pasta salad again per request and I'm finally getting the hang of this recipe. I have listed it below for anyone interested:
Blue Frog Pasta Salad
1 lb Ditalini pasta
1 Green pepper chopped
1 Red pepper chopped
3 Stalks of celery chopped
1 cup of carrots chopped
1/4 red onion chopped
3/4 cup of green peas
2+ cups of mayo
2 oz. white vinegar
2 T celery salt
1 tsp onion power
1 tsp ground white pepper
1. Cook the pasta and drain - set aside to cool
2. Chop all veggies in food processer and set aside
3. Mix mayo and white vinegar well and add in the celery salt, onion powder and ground white pepper. Adjust the celery salt to taste. If it's too bitter, add a bit more mayo.
Add all ingredients to a big bowl and chill. I think this would be very tasty with chopped bacon in the recipe too!
Have a great weekend!
