Make spinach instead

I miss spinach

If you fry up some bacon, some onion and some garlic in a little butter, add the kale and cook it down and then throw in some cream and parmigiano reggiano, it is quite lovely.

Somehow I think that this might add a few more calories to it than I would like.

Make spinach instead

I've been eating lots of spinach too lately. I love just a plain ol' spinach salad with tomatoes and a small squirt of honey mustard.

I never liked spinach until recently.

Happy Great Feast. The fast is over, you don't have to subsist on a diet of exclusively spinach any longer.

on Spinach???

Yup, no spinach or broccoli til November

The steaks are already thawing. I'd wash it down with a Mike's... but sadly I have to work again tonight.

That sounds similar to some carbonara recipe.

I don't run fast, about 10 minutes/mile. Just got back from a six mile run, was nice.

Actually, it's not bad, at all. That's 6 miles (9.66km) per hour and is quite good, especially if you run it without stops.

 

[Photini]

I think running at ANY speed is good, because it means you aren't sitting on the couch.

Sitting on the couch is good too....after running.

Indeed!

I'm reading Running for Mortals right now. I've been trying to do the C25K plan, but I think I'm going to start doing one of the programs out of this book instead. It seems to build up a little slower from week to week, which is what I really need. Undoing 15 years of sitting around isn't going to happen very quickly. And most of those years were spent smoking too.

I did C25K a few years ago and it was awesome. I lost 68 lbs and I felt great. Sadly I gained it all back (plus some) when I stopped.

I haven't weighed myself lately, but my husband says I'm starting to look thinner. I did notice that my freshly washed pair of jeans didn't cause quite as big a muffin top as they have been. That's encouraging. I am determined to NOT end up with my mother's body.

What is C25K?

 

[Anhelyna]

Someone pass me the webbed feet wellies and water wings please ?

I'll get down from this cupboard once I've got them on .

I'm scared of going underwater .

Got a new [ well to me ] little lens I can't even get on my camera - neither the lens nor the camera are weather proofed and actually I would need both that would go safely down to about 50 metres at present


WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I'm fed up with this so-called summer

 

[Photini]

What is C25K?

It's a 9-week program to help you start running. It starts out with short increments of running mixed with power-walking, then gradually increases until you can run for 30 minutes without stopping.

Couch to 5k - C25K Running Program


I got stuck between Week 3 & 4. The increment just seems like too big of a jump for me. I found a different program that progresses a little more slowly, so I think I'll go with that. Better to build up super slow and stay injury-free than to go too fast & get hurt.
