Exercise on 11/23/11
It really feels great to be riding the exercycle again. I didn't realize how much I missed it. It's relaxing to read while I ride. Something impossible to do on a real bike! haha! I read another chapter of Chaz Bono's Transition while pedaling at 14.4mph for 4 miles, 16.04 minutes and burned 195 calories. Not bad for the second day back on it. Gotta make sure I get some time in tomorrow before my cousins arrive.

Exercise!
Well, as some of you know, I used to ride my exercycle every day, but when we got the last of our stuff out of storage after it being in there for 11 years, it all ended up in the doves' room and the exercycle and ab-doer kind of got buried for a couple of months. Well, with my cousins, Steven & Curtis, wanting to have a Thanksgiving (after not having one for years after their mother died), we had to get that room cleared and fast so they would have our big TV to watch the football game! My mom and I did it in 3 days! Room looks livable again AND my exercise equipment is usable again! I just got done reading a chapter of Chaz Bono's Transition book while riding at about 13mph for 3.5 miles, 16.29 minutes & burned 169 calories. Yay, me! I love my exercycle. In the meantime, I had continued my daily jumps on my mini trampoline, using my dumbbells (those are in my bedroom) & doing my push-ups. Hopefully, my mom will get back to the exercycle, too. It is the only exercise she will do.

Chicken Jerky for dogs Warning - Unspecified illnesses
Not sure about this one since it isn't an outright recall, since they didn't really specify a company or an illness (just the symptoms ...) But, it's a good reason to learn to make your own treats for your pets!

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is again cautioning consumers that chicken jerky products for dogs (also sold as chicken tenders, strips or treats) may be associated with illness in dogs.

Sprouts!
I am finally making sprouts! Alfalfa sprouts to be exact. I bought these sprouting trays a month or so ago & thought I better start using them! This is about 48 hours in.
I won't be using such small seeds in these trays in the future, but the alfalfa seeds came with it. They are hard to rinse as they flow out the sides, then I have to pick them out of the sink! Kind of annoying. So, I'll stick to jars for the little seeds. But, bigger seeds and nuts will work great in it.

My mom made a really good dinner. Whole turkey breast seasoned with Cajun seasoning and chives. Organic spring mix salad with organic heirloom tomato & natural olives. With Bragg's organic ginger & sesame dressing. And, organic grapes.
The turkey breast was huge. I was only able to eat half. Saving the rest for lunch tomorrow.
