Food food food

It was back to Aquatics today.  Another fun workout.  I'm really glad I invested in the Polar Monitor. When I am in the pool, I have no idea if I am working hard or not. I don't sweat the same way I do on land and my breathing seems to be different as well.  Now, all I have to do is look down at my wrist and pop! there it is.  Right away I can see if I am at THR (target heart rate) or not.  Love it.  Today, the workout was 45 minutes long and I was at THR for 35 minutes.  Perfect.

When I got home, the lovely Fooducopia delivery man was here with my groceries.  I put them away and got right down to making lunch.  I made open faced chicken salad sandwiches with avocado and tomatoes (see my how I make the chicken salad by clicking on the link on the side of this page), spinach salad, and strawberries and iced tea.  So easy and delicious.

Lunch

Later in the day, Joe and I ran some errands and then when I got home, I started dinner.  We had enchiladas, spanish rice, and fajita style peppers, onions and mushrooms.  I used Fontera's Red Chile Sauce and filled three tortillas with shredded chicken and three with fajita veggies, covered them with the sauce and baked them for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.  Again...amazing.   Here's a photo.

Dinner

Finally, after an email from my cool Aunt Sue, I decided to start putting some of the recipes I use on this blog so others can use them.  You will find a number I have cooked so far on the right hand side of this page.  I've also put a page called "Meal Plans" so I can keep track of the different meals I have been making.  This way, in a month or so when I say to myself, "I don't know what to cook!" I can look back and remake things.  I hope these are helpful to some of you! And let me know if I haven't put up something you would like to make and I'll add it.  Enjoy!

  1. I want those enchiladas, NOW!! I'm glad to hear you are liking your polar heart monitor. I wasn't sure if it was worth the investment. I think I'm going to get one too.

  2. I totally think it is worth it. Especially in pool.
