Trying New Things


The last couple weeks I tried to make apoint of trying something different. One week I bought Fennel which I have seen used on cooking shows but aside from Anise Seeds I have never eaten the bulb! I liked it! I had it cooked, with stew and also raw sliced thin on salads. I also bout Asparagus. I had it when I was a kid but didn't like it then. I decided to buy some fresh and sauted it with Olive Oil. I liked it too. So on foods, challenge yourself and try something you haven't had before...healthy of course!

Exercise I did the Bootcamp last week as reported in the last posting. I thought about that today when I heard them talking on The Doctors about a woman suing her personal trainer because he had her doing things beyond her limit on the first and second days. She blew out a thigh (I think) muscle. They said this can happen when you have someone who is not trained or certified properly as a trainer. I don't know if there is a bootcamp tomorrow or not--I did not recieve an e-mail this time. They probably took me off the list! ROFL! So this week's "new" thing is a short video on YouTube of Leslie Sansone. It is a quick 14 minutes but in that short time you can walk a mile with her.


You can also find a part 2 to that which is another 14-15 minutes. Do them together or split it up during the day. Just MOVE! LOL!

Tonight's dinner is fish, David get Flounder and I am having Salmon, multi grain pilaf and peas for David, Brussel Sprouts for me. So I need to go and get it started!

  1. I'll just have to take your word for it on the asparagus. Then again, I suppose it might not be so bad. Now brussel sprouts...yuck. I have never been able to handle those.
