Two Boos Who Eat: Accomplishment!

Accomplishment!

I am so happy because I got so much done today!

1. I went to the DMV before work today and changed my last name to my married name.
2. I renewed my license which expires on my birthday. (This friday!)
3. I made a Dr's appt for some bloodwork and a TB test. (I need to pass the TB test to get into the teaching credential program. It shall be a breeze.)
4. I made arrangements to volunteer at a middle school that I love. I start Friday.
5. I ran/walked 2 miles!

The couch to 5k program is great. I am still slow as molasses but my time is definitely getting faster. I feel like it is going to take me forever to train for the 5k in December. By the way if any of you are local (L.A./Ventura county area) and want to run it with me, let me know! I warn you, I am slow! I am just doing the 5k for the fun of it!

Sunday night, I made these burgers from Cooking Light. I used this recipe and lightened it up a bit.

I used whole wheat buns, low far muenster cheese and no mayo. Andy and I are not mayo fans.

We had baked bourbon beans with the burgers. Totally a "man" meal. At least it feels like it. Sunday night football with burgers, beers and beans? Manly right?

Of course after eating it, I noticed that we had NO veggies. (red onions do not count.) I need to start making more veggie side dishes but I suck at creating anything other than roasted veggies or salads. Any ideas?

Do you like steamed veggies? I buy frozen boxes/bags of veggies, and pop those in the a large tuperware container with a little water and pop that in the microwave for 4 or 5 minutes while I'm cooking up the rest of the dinner, super easy!

if you get them on sale some of the green giant mixes (they've got ones with sauce, ones that say they're for immunity, etc) are a nice way to mix up what veggies you eat-even with sauce they're not too calorie dense.
and i love steamed green beans with tomato sauce, it's a good combo.

Speak to any seasoned runner and they'll tell you that when they started out the jump from nothing to 5ks seemed huge, and then doubling that to 10? No way... what about a half mara 10K to 21?? Not to mention doubling that again for a full marathon. It always seems impossibly hard until you're on the other side. Stick with it you're doing great!

I always steam my veggies. When I do broccoli I put a wedge or two of Laughing Cow in after I drain it and I have a nice cream sauce!

I'm pretty plain with my veggies- roasted or grilled! Its also fun to sneak them into your meals. Veggies into pasta, put spinach in with your burger meat before you cook it, etc

At October 3, 2009 at 2:03 PM , Jenny said...: great job knockin' things off that to-do list! I avoid the DMV at all costs! It is definitely the most hated place on the planet, except for the Dentist.. of course!
