My Diary

Actually the answer's somewhere in this blog (I just checked).

As for a prize, isn't knowing recipezaar enough? ;)

It's enough and it's all good
 
Getting back on track...

Last night's dinner was quite good. I made salsa chicken with mango salsa (store bought, but tasty), and a seasoning mix I created from a recipe at the 'zaar. I think the new seasoning mix made the biggest impression - the flavors seemed stronger, and for lack of a better word, cleaner. Also, it is MUCH less sodium than packaged versions (even the "low sodium" kind). Put it with some patty pan squash and some soda bread and it was a healthy, and tasty meal.

Quite happy with today's workout - was able to do 3x8@70 on the bench press, and for the first time EVER I didn't have to hold on for balance during the touchdowns, which I was/am very happy about. :)
 
Yup, I s'pose I did. The touchdowns were a surprise though - not to say I didn't wobble a bit, because I did, but... I didn't have to hold on to anything to catch myself. I always start with my left leg as it's the weaker one, so I planted it and started and did the first few and thought "wow, this is ok so far...". Then I did the next few and was mildly surprised I'd not had to catch myself. As I neared the end of the set I was really hoping I'd be able to make it through, and I did. :) Then I switched to the right leg, and then started praying I'd not screw up the "easier" side - and I didn't. :)
 
congratz on your progress tom!
