weak!

so today i returned to kettlebell after 2 weeks. all the snow and other after school activities hindered me from going. today i felt like i hadn't lifted a weight in years! i was so weak and also very tired. i love going because the workouts are always really tough, even though they don't last very long. it feels like bootcamp everytime i go! so now my legs are so sore and i am really looking forward to getting back into it on a regular basis. let's hope we don't get another blizzard!

it's been hard to focus on working out at home because when i am here, i feel obligated to do my grad school work. there is ALWAYS something i could be doing. there is so much reading and writing papers and commenting on the discussion board, the list goes on. i am pretty psyched though because i got a 100 on my first paper. not sure how that happened, but i'll take it!

on saturday i got to hang out with michelle and picca and we cooked a delicious and healthy dinner! it was another recipe from www.eatbetteramerica.com, the turkey and spinach manicotti. we modified it a little and added a lot of garlic and other spices for flavor. the 99% fat free ground turkey is really good for you but super bland. the spices and garlic definitely helped with the taste. it was really good!

clearly i love this website. i will keep trying the recipes and report back on this blog. i am excited to try the healthified spinach and artichoke dip to bring to the next family or friend get together. maybe for the super bowl!
