Happy Easter Weekend!!

So I know the last time I blogged was only three days ago, but it feels like it's been forever and today I've been missing it and thought, I better blog!

This morning I woke up and did about 20 minutes of TaeBo and then felt like jogging so I jumped on the treadmill while the TaeBo was still playing and ran for almost 20 minutes. It felt good to mix it up! I've been in a walking-on-incline-on-the-treadmill-for-my-cardio rut and I was no longer enjoying it. I find that I like to switch it up because if I do the same thing over and over it just becomes a job and I don't want that! Needless to say, I enjoyed myself this morning and felt great! How often do you change your cardio workout?

Random event of the week:
So, as many of you have also been saying, the weather can't seem to decide if it wants to be nice or if it wants to rain and snow. So one day this week when it was snowing/raining, we were about to leave to go somewhere but my bald husband (equals cold head) couldn't find his hat anywhere. I got my coat on, grabbed my purse, etc and I turn around and this is what I see: Haha. I said, "Erik, you're gonna waste a bunch of paper towels". He responded oh so innocently, "No, I'm not". Needless to say, he found his hat and the paper towels were later put to good use.

Random Recent Meal:Chicken breasts baked with salsa, Parmesan cheese, Mrs. Dash's Garlic & Herb, and pepper served with freshly steamed cauliflower & asparagus with a regular light Laughing Cow Wedge mixed in, and brown rice.

Random Food Product I tried:
Okay, so I'm sorry to those who love these and rave over them, buuuut I tried Shirataki noodles and did not care for them much! I'll start out by saying I don't usually eat any tofo/soy just because I'm leery about it, but in the grocery store one day I thought ... why not? So, yesterday I tried them. The first part I didn't like was the smell when I opened the bag and was rinsing them. Yuck. But I thought ... I can get past this. So, I followed the directions and chose to microwave them and here's what I came up with: I ate them with tuna, veggies, some no salt added tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese and seasonings. While it wasn't so bad that I didn't eat it, I really did not like the texture. I felt like it these noodles were more difficult to break apart, to chew apart than what I'm used to ... almost more rubbery, I guess you could say. Maybe I did something wrong but either way, I probably won't be getting these again anytime soon. So you Shirataki lovers, did I do something wrong or are they just not for me? haha.

Anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful, joy-filled Easter!!! : )
