I have both tonight! After a strenuous afternoon at the gym, I was in the mood for something warm and comforting, so I made some Chicken Tortilla Soup. Mmmmm, so tasty! Especially when you have fresh tomatoes, avocados and bell peppers for garnish. And now I have some tasty lunch for tomorrow! I also made some Rum-Glazed Whole-Grain Banana Tarts for dessert, but they got eaten before I could get a picture. ;)
Now that I’m finally over last week’s nasty virus, I’ve finally been able to get exercise in these past few days. I really missed not being able to go to the gym last week, I never thought that would ever happen! I’ve started lifting weights, which has seemed to accelerate the weight loss, despite making it painful to walk the day after (i.e. tomorrow!) So far I’ve lost 7 pounds! It might not be a ton, but I look great and am super pleased with my progress. Now I just have to catch up on my Runagogo mileage!
In Yarn Nerd news…thanks so much for your comments and e-mails! The opening was better than I could ask for, and I’m overwhelmed by everyone’s support! I’m so glad that Yarn Nerd is finally open for business, I’ve been waiting for the big unveil for quite some time now. I still have lots to come, so stick around to see what comes next!
There’s still 8 skeins left in the shop, so grab ‘em while they’re still around! And there’s still one hour left until the contest closes, so go register and enter to win some yarn! I’ll be announcing the 5 winners tomorrow, so good luck :)
Alright, I think I’m being beckoned to come to bed…have a great week!
Sounds like very tasty soup. Hee hee - was there any room left in bed for you?!
Hey,
That soup sounds great…what are you fixing tonight????
Way to go on the exercise!
Give Dallas and Emma a hug.
I love tortilla soup. It does take a few ingredients, though. Your puppy is adorable. Hope he has warm paws!
Oh man - any way I could get the recipe from you? It is freaking COLD here today and I want to make soup tonight… and after seeing this entry, I have such a craving for tortilla soup! I’ve never made it before, though, so a nudge in the right direction would be awesome. :) Also congrats on the weight loss!
It’s really important to lift. You’re exactly right. It does accelerate weight loss! Cardio is important, but the best way to lose that fat is to pump some iron!
Keep going on the workouts. I’ve lost my routine and am trying to figure out a new one. sigh
