Tom, I always just pierce the potato and place it in the oven. That's it. I only butter when I put it on the plate.

I don't use butter at all - I just like the taste and texture of the potato itself. That said, today's dinner was half of a large baked potato, about a cup and a half of 1% cottage cheese and fistful of sugar snap peas. Very tasty and very good for me :)

Thanks Katie - yeah I like the outside of potatoes too, to the point I rarely peel them for anything I use them for. (Easier for me, yes but tastier and healthier too). It gives things a more rustic texture/appearance which I find appealing.
 
I can feel the effects of yesterday's run through already - the funny part is that it's not localized to one particular muscle. It definitely feels like I got a good workout since I haven't felt this way in a while, so the new stimulus is a good thing. Form definitely needs work on a few exercises, particularly the deadlift, but I'm sure that will work out in time.
 
Love potatos too. I don't eat them very often but when I do I don't put butter on them either. Now when I go out to eat that's a different story...:D

"Stand with your legs straight and your hands on the floor. (You'll probably need to begin with your hands a couple of feet in front of you.) Keeping your legs straight, walk your hands forward as far as possible. Hold for 3 to 5 seconds. Then take tiny steps to walk your feet back to your hands. Hold again for 3 to 5 seconds. Repeat for a set of five."
 
The last hurrah

Well, Memorial Day weekend is coming to a close, and in its wake summer is soon upon us. Having gone out each day from Friday-Monday and not counting calories/watching too much what I ate, it will be good to get back to my regular routine. However, we have a party at work tomorrow, and as kind of a last hurrah, I've decided to make something I've always wanted to attempt (even if it's very unhealthy lol).

Crockpot Chicken Wings
 
That looks good. Let us know how it turns out...:D
