Hot Exercise!

Gah! Remind me to check if my mom has turned on the heater before I start exercising! I am burning up now. Did my trampoline, push-up, etc. exercises & then rode the exercycle. Good ride today, but feel like I'm going to drop because of the darn heater! I started getting uncomfortable about half-way through, but wanted to finish today's chapter of Chaz Bono's Transition. A few more to go on that.

Thanksgiving Feast!

I sent the 'before' picture earlier. Here is the result. My cousin Curtis bought the 'turkey kit' from the local BelAir market. It had an 11-pound turkey, real mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, cranberry/apple sauce, broccoli/cheese/rice casserole, dinner rolls & a pumpkin pie. Along with what my mom & I made for snacking yesterday. And, I opened a can of natural olives. Gotta have my olives! I wish I could say everything was natural or organic, but only the stuff my mom & I made was for sure. Oh, and the organic pasture butter I added to the potatoes and we put on the rolls.

Thanksgiving Exercise!

We've got the table all ready for the feast later:

But, before we start cooking, I got some exercycling in:
14.9 mph

Time to get the oven turned on now!

Thanksgiving Treats

My mom and I made some things today for Thanksgiving so we wouldn't have to do them tomorrow. I made my spiced nuts and my stuffed dates.

My mom made deviled eggs and a few stuffed olives.

Then, I made fresh whipped cream (16oz. organic cream & 1/4 cup sugar). First time I've ever made it. Sooooo good!

And, my mom made ambrosia. This was from a recipe her sister got from her own mother-in-law's sister. So, my aunt's aunt-in-law? Haha! I hope we remembered the ingredients; I don't think she put enough whipped cream, myself ...

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.
