This is my husband! Many years ago, he ran this race (not sure the distance). It looks like a Marathon with the wet shirt, But I think it was a 5k! He is not a distance runner. He has had many surgeries due to football injuries….mostly when he was older. He works out (with weights) more than me! Lately he is outside jumping rope in between sets. I really should join him!!! Also, it would be nice if we both could do the running thing together. We (my son and I) may convince him to do a 5k. It is a family, twilight (night) 5k! Sounds fun! He may hate that I posted this pic. He secretly stalks my page!!

Cauliflower Fried Rice

@kate

Well….not sure how I feel about it. I get kind of grossed out by things, especially when I cook them. 

It was not terrible. My husband loved it. We can definitely change it, do things differently, add stuff. 

I had to use a cheese grater. Also, when I cooked it, it took longer than 5 minutes to get golden. It said it would turn mushy if you cooked it too long. I think that is what I didn’t like…the mush! 

Next time, I will scramble the eggs separately. I like little chunks of eggs in my fried rice.

Some friends I met along my little stroll through the neighborhood. It feels so good to get dinner done, go a few miles, and be home before 8. Now to shower, eat, and watch America’s Got talent.

Following along….

Busy looking, following, and finding new tumblrs to follow. 

Hello to any new followers I have. I am moving along trying to make healthy choices. Exercising when I can. Finishing the school year! Looking forward to summer, that is when I really can give my all. Hoping to get a healthy, fit routine in the summer that will just be part of life and will continue into the next school year! Rather than moving all summer and  stopping cold turkey when I go back to work. Such a bad habit I have!

Tried out one of my birthday presents: Magic Bullet Berry smoothie for my son. Took my coffee and blended with a little ice and vanilla ice cream. Need to look for ideas.
