Battling the bulge since 2010, and not stopping until I hit my goal. This blog documents my successes, my failures, and lessons learned along the way. Life is a journey, not a destination, after all.

Broken.
Friday: Day Off
Saturday Workout: Trainer Program
Yesterday was the first day in 5 days that I didn't make it to the gym. Everyone needs a break, right?
Of course, I felt like I was being punished today. During my lunges, I wobbled and tweaked my (right) knee. THAT made the rest of the workout fun. As I was doing my arm push-outs (or, as I call them, my "Heil Hitlers"), my left arm started shaking and I cracked the handle (with 10 lbs of weight behind it) onto my nose. No blood and nothing broken, but I swear there's a nice black and red line across the bridge.
When I got home, I tried making "Ranger Cookies" - it's a Betty Crocker recipe that is supposed to have extra protein and fiber in it to make them "healthy" cookies. I needed chocolate, I wanted to bake, so I tried them out. Somehow, the dough was too runny- or I had too many dried cherries in there- and it became a soggy cookie bar-like substance. It tasted great, but it wouldn't hold a shape. And, let's be honest, nothing in Betty Crocker's world is remotely healthy. I ate the "taste" one and tossed the rest of the pan. Sigh. At least I know what I'm making for 4th of July (with something that will keep the cookie together-- maybe another phone call to Trish is in order!).

Yes, a phone call is in order. It is always in order -- baking emergency or not.
