Penalty box, for sure…

On Thursday — Canada Day — I committed the sin of gluttony featuring: Ly’s Grilled Fire Ribs, a Chez Piggy recipe; @thepioneerwoman‘s Best Ever Baked Beans; my friend’s Rhubarb Pudding Cake.

On Sunday — Independence Day — I committed the sin of gluttony, featuring: Elen’s grilled burgers, Elen’s awesome potato salad, and PW’s blackberry cobbler.

These were the major players. There were minor players, but we won’t go there.

Now, I’m doing this:

It might take 600 60 days.

And this:

It might take forever. Okay. I will not be doing that on my knuckles, but I’ll be sweating just like that. Maybe more.

Hello Monday!

    Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger! Actually, I’m sorta sick of eating. Though I may go out for tomorrow’s book release day. Was planning to have healthy lime grilled shrimp kabobs. Then I made the mistake of getting into a discussion on my FB page about Lowcountry shrimp and grits. Which, alas, the restaurant that serves the healthy, tasty shrimp kabobs also shares. I may end up coaxing sweetie into ordering the s&g and then letting him share. Best of both. LOL

      No. I don’t feel like the Lone Ranger. I just feel full. What was I thinking? I think I was thinking — Cook it, and they will come… or eat… or something. :-) Order the kabobs and steal the good stuff from the sweetie’s plate. Although, lime grilled shrimp kabobs sound lovely. You should always celebrate release day, and I’ll be running out tomorrow to buy THE HOMECOMING. Can’t wait.

  2. Drink lots of water. Especially in this heat. But water has no calories and fills you up so that you take smaller portions.

    I’ve been alternating exercise bike with swimming. I’ve noticed my butt isn’t as big as it used to be. I still look like a cow because for one thing, I don’t have slim bone structure. But I’m okay because everyone loves cows. Cows quench our thirst, feed our hunger, remind us of simpler times. And they have lovely huge brown eyes.

    You have never looked like a cow, but you are lovely. You did make me laugh! Come visit. We’ll drink water…with a margarita side. :-) JoAnn, too!!

    Looks like the SVEN guy is now doing 100 pushups! Is there anything he can’t do? ;)

    Good luck with all of that. Someday I’ll get back to Jillian. I feel excellent (and beaten up) when I do.

      I know! I’m glad, too, because I sure was missing him. Sven is the mat master. ;-) Don’t even consider Jillian until you get the all clear on that foot!

    I’ve been doing the six-week plan at hundredpushups.com, but I had to re-do the first week, so it’s going to be a minimum seven-week plan now… :)
