Yum. I made this last night for dinner, straight from the Better Homes and Garden cookbook. It was low-fat AND pretty easy. Not only that, but I used the broiler on the oven for the first time! (I had to get T to show me how to do it, but it worked!) I also added a bit of lime juice to the rice steamer so we had lime-infused sicky rice! MMMM! Served with a bit 'o salsa and some corn. How festive. This dish matches my living room...haha! Here's to a delish dinner with a lovely hubby!
So I'm beginning to think that the Wii Fit's scale isn't exactly accurate. I'm pretty sure there's no way that I can loose 4 pounds in a day and gain 5 pounds back the next day. Is that even possible? They say on the game that your weight can fluctuate up to 2 pounds per day, but 5??!!! Silly. I've been working out at least 5 times for the last 2 weeks, eating healthier and still haven't lost any weight, according to Wii. Well, in any case, I am developing a new appreciation for running. That is, running in place. My new fav workout is the "free run." I can watch TV while the little speaker on the remote keeps track of my time and tells me I'm "keeping a good pace." I doubt that, but still...watching TV is more entertaining than watching my Mii run on screen.
I fell. On the ice. In below zero temperatures. The funny part of it is, because I landed in a small pile of snow, my knee was instantly numb. That lasted for like 5 minutes once I got inside. Oh, my pesky need to check the mail when I get home from school. I fell out in the middle of our driveway. What's the bad news? I ripped my favorite tights, AND doing my Wii workout may be quite painful on my poor little knee. :(
T and I are seriously loving our Wii Fit. What's crazy is that we've had it since Monday, played it every day and STILL haven't played all of the activities on it! I think that so far my favorite game is the skiing games, the hula hoop game, and maybe the rhythm parade one. (It's like you get to be the drum major for a marching band and move the baton up and down while you march. Always wanted to be a drum major...T thought I was a SUPER geek on that one....)
It's been a great week in choir too! My kiddos are learning the new music WAY faster than I thought they would. Have you heard this piece? It's an Eric Whitacre piece that was originally made for a Disney movie called Seal Lullaby (based on Rudyard Kipling's story by the same name) but then they decided to make Kung Fu Panda instead so this music never got used. It's a gorgeous song, though! My Treble Choir is singing it for our Feb. concert. Have a listen!
In other news, T keeps getting more secondary apps for med schools! This is such great news and we are so thankful that he has the opportunity to continue the application process. Hopefully we'll have a CHOICE of where we want to go next year! That'd be awesome, wouldn't it?! EEEEEE!!!!
