Tangent Tuesday – Food!

Still a favorite quote: YOU CAN’T OUT TRAIN A BAD DIET.

I was in such a rut with my eating.  I feel like I have cycled through my ‘go to’ recipes several times and am bored.  I’m bored with chicken, I’m bored with pasta, etc.  Therefore I started eating crappy.  I have been pretty good this week about getting back into good habits.

So I had set out to find new recipes and excited about several I came across with many new ingredients.  One thing I am excited to have found is chicken sausage.  I am also going to try out making salmon (scary!).

Here are some of the specific recipes I plan on trying (with some adjustments):

*Chicken Sausage with Penne Pasta - http://www.cleaneatingmag.com/Recipes/Recipe/Penne-with-Chicken-Sausage-Tomatoes-Spinach.aspx

*Dirty Rice and chicken sausage - http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/dirty_rice.html

*Crock Pot Beef & Broccoli - http://www.littlebshealthyhabits.com/2012/05/clean-eating-crock-pot-beef-and.html

Many of the ‘fit’ bloggers have a food/recipe tab.  Here are my go to ones, they have tons of ideas:

I was able to run 3 easy miles yesterday and felt great.  Back is still feeling good today.  Tonight will be the first real test of the back – volleyball night!  Tomorrow the bike gang may go out to Texas Motor Speedway and ride around the outside of the place.  It is a closed off (from traffic) 5 mile loop.  I guess tons of people go out there biking, but it is not nearly as crowded as White Rock.
