So remember when I said that I was going to be more disciplined about going to the gym this week? Fail. After going to Rabbit Hash to belly dance last night, I ended up not getting to bed until almost 11. Then, when the alarm went off this morning Nora woke up and was crying for her mama… so I ended up cuddling with my baby until 7am. (not that I’m complaining J) I DID get a good sweat going and a good workout last night at dance practice! We had a couple of longer dancing sessions and we did some isolation stuff while working on new moves so all-in-all, it was great! I wish I could dance down there more often, I love it! It’s so laid back and just a friendly, natural environment.
Tonight I’m going to scurry home and cook dinner, head to music class with Nora then come back and feed her. I REALLY need to get my oil changed so I’m going to try to fit that in somewhere. I would like to say that I’m going to try to fit-in a workout somewhere, but I honestly don’t know where it would go. SO my goal is to get to bed early and get up early to get a good workout tomorrow. I have to do the C25K session tomorrow which takes 25minutes so I need to allow myself ample time to work other things.
For dinner last night, I made an Asian Chicken Stir-Fry with brown sesame rice. I packed food and took to Rabbit Hash for Branden and Nora to eat while I danced, then when I got home I had a few bites of the chicken and veggies (skipped the rice, of course). It was pretty good! I cooked the veggies in Reduced-Sodium Chicken Stock and added 1tbs of Sesame Oil towards the end for flavor. Here’s the recipe:
Asian Chicken Stir-Fry
4 boneless/skinless chicken tenderloins, seasoned w/ granulated garlic
1 bag Asian mix frozen veggies
½ c Reduced-Sodium Chicken Stock
1tbs Sesame Oil
1tbs Light Soy Sauce
1tbs Sesame Seeds
3 small heads Baby Bok Choy, chopped
1tsp Granulated Garlic
Rice:
1 bag Boil-in-a-Bag Brown Rice (this is the only kind I don’t burn J)
Left-over chicken stock from above (supplement water for the rest of required liquid for rice)
1tsp Sesame Oil
½ tsp granulated garlic
-Grill seasoned chicken on George Forman, rest for 5 minutes and then chop
-Cook veggies and bok choy in ¼ c chicken stock and garlic, add more stock as the veggies cook out moisture – don’t let them burn/stick
-Once veggies are almost cooked, add soy sauce, sesame oil and sesame seeds
-Fold-in chicken, reduce heat to low and cover. Let sit on low for about 10 minutes to let the flavors marry, stirring occasionally.
Rice:
-Cook rice in stock and water as directed
-Drain water from rice, put back in pan and add garlic and sesame oil
Serve veggies and chicken over rice!

Last night when I went to dance, one of the ladies that I dance with said that she hardly recognized me with as much as I’ve lost, then later my teacher said that I’m “wasting away”. I love hearing those things. Sometimes I think about my 10 year High School Reunion (which will be in 4 years! I feel old) and how awesome it’s going to feel to walk in there, hopefully less than ½ the size I was in high school and walk up to all of those little bitches that made my life a living hell and slap them in the face… okay maybe not but I’ll at least like to see the looks on their faces lol.
Oh well, still have quite a way to go before the ‘bitch slapping’ stage… so, until tomorrow J
