Mmmm...

A friend of mine sent me a link to a recipe she was going to make tonight and I think it looks amazing, so I will be trying this sometime in the next week. Here's the link:

You'll see the calories are really low and hopefully Sera will comment and let us know how it turned out.
Since I've been back from Fitness Ridge and been losing weight, my family has asked me to cook for them quite a bit. I've also had people over for dinner a few times and I feel a responsibility to show people that healthy food can also be delicious. One of my favorite recipes to use for family or guests is the Caribbean Shrimp Salad with Lime Vinaigrette from Cooking Light. Here's the link.

I chop and prepare everything except the avocado earlier in the day and then slice the avocado and assemble the salad right before serving. It's so nice to have it done. So far, I haven't had a single complaint.
If anyone reading this blog has any recipes they'd like to share, just post them in the comments.

In retrospect, continuing my run after falling last night may have been a bad decision. The outside of my foot hurts more today than it did yesterday. It's really hard to walk up and down the stairs. I really hope it stops hurting soon.

Well, Okay.

I've been putting off writing on this blog for a long time. I just don't see why anyone would want to read anything I write. But I've decided to start trying to do one thing each day that I've been putting off and this was the obvious. So, here goes.

Today I ran to the park with my puppy, threw the ball, walked around and played with him. Then I started running back home. Maybe 5 yards into my return run, I tripped and fell flat on my face. I screamed out from the pain and, mainly, the shock. There was no one else out so I just lay there with my face on the hot concrete to catch my breath. It seemed like 2 seconds later that a car pulled up and asked if I was okay. I jumped to my feet while the guy got out of the driver seat to come help me. I said I was fine and thanked them. Then I limped on, embarrassed. I skinned my right knee and was bleeding and the outside of my left foot hurt to put pressure on it. I was disappointed to not be able to finish my run. I looked up to the sky and saw two clouds, one slightly in front of the other. Light shone out between the clouds reminding me of God looking down from heaven. Out loud I laughed and said "well, okay" and started running again. It hurt but it felt good to push through.
