a couple days of crazy, now back on track!

I took a few days off of posting here because i was working on getting some art work done to display for Art Milwaukee. Leading up to this, especially the day of, I was SO nervous! And i don't know why?? I guess because i have not shown publicly in so long, and i haven't ever shown any 2D work. My nerves got the best of me and i just slightly went off track for a couple of days. Not to get super specific, but i had a couple pieces of pizza, a cookie and taco bell. I may or may not have been ever so slightly intoxicated after the Art Milwaukee event, so Josh and I went a little binge. Exactly what I don't want to do, and not to justify any of it, but we RARELY get out, plus my nervous energy played a big part in it as well.

Healthy and Flavorful Dinners
Instead of posting every little thing i eat every day (especially since my diet isn't all that exciting or varied) i am going to just write down the good recipes we have made. For example, last night we had a super healthy dinner of baked portobella mushroom with a bruschetta-esque filling. The filling was fresh tomatoes, garlic, red pepper flake, balsamic vinegar and then a little mozzarella cheese melted on top. I will post a pic of it later today! I highly recommend this recipe. It's filling and light and the same time; that's the magic of mushrooms!

Workout highs and lows
I really pushed myself this week in my working out. My legs are exhausted, especially when i wake up in the morning. I tried really hard to run as much as possible, however i did skip thursday since i had the art event. Friday, I really had to make an effort and did 20 minutes. My goal is to amp up the workout every week. This week was supposed to be trying to run instead of fast walking and I'd say I was about 85% successful in this venture. I am still seeing awesome results, so my motivation is high. I need to think of something to do for next week's workout in addition to the running. OH! I found the On Demand workout channels last night, ummmm, awesome!! There are SO many options; dance, yoga, pilates, cardio, kickboxing. So I will give that a try next week maybe while the kids are napping during the day!

  1. Sidebar I think that it was good you let loose a little ArtMke night :) Ok maybe not the bingefest haha! But it was a lot of fun and great you guys could get out!! Plus it give you an extra boost "I gotta get back on it!!" But anyway, that mushroom thing sounds AHHHHMAZING!!! I will say that Balsamic Vinegar makes everything good :)
