Today starts the Blizzard of 2013 in our area…..really hoping for two things:
1. To not lose power and get snowed in at our house, not have to drive to my parents in a blizzard!
2. To feel better. I woke up with a crazy cold and stomach bug at 6:30 am today and am not loving it!
Here in Connecticut our Governor has shut down state roads at noon and most everything is closed, so if you are a fellow Connecticuter like I am (yes I searched that on the internet, because I refuse to call us nutmegers) have fun being snowed in and spending time with your loved ones!
Yesterday’s workout ended up being 4.25 miles in around 55 minutes. I say around because I only took a picture of my first run. I ran in segments yesterday 1.25 miles in the morning because I was running late. Then 3 miles in the afternoon. I should have known I was getting sick in the 3 mile run when I started to sweat heavily and get a little dizzy!
I wore these cuties because compression socks are now 100 percent needed in every run. Thanks pregnancy leg cramps. I love pro compression socks, they are pretty and get the job done.
I think it goes without saying that I am taking today off from running though.
Last night I prepped some food for Dan, Ricky and I. Dan’s friend Ricky is looking for a new place so he is staying with us for a little while.
It is a good thing I am laid off because he is staying in the basement, yes that is where my beloved treadmill is, so I run when he is at work.
I made chicken minestrone soup and this….
Alex’s Knife and Fork Taco Pizza.
Recipe:
1 Trader Joe’s Garlic and Herb Pizza Dough
1 lb Ground Chicken cooked and seasoned with Taco seasoning
As much Trader Joes Fat Free Pizza Sauce as you like
Mix of Mexican and Mozzarella Cheeses
Directions:
Roll out dough however you like, spread sauce and cheese an cover with chicken. Bake to directions on dough.
Here is what is looked like before going into the oven. I would have added olives too but Dan doesnt like those.
And here is what it looked like when I ate a piece for dinner, and why I call it knife and fork pizza.
I added lettuce, cheese and taco sauce, I think I am onto the new best way to eat tacos!
Now we are all ready to get snowed in. I hope everyone enjoys their day and I will have a new post tonight. Including food I didnt post earlier this week and a snow update!
