Check out Part 1 here.
Saturday we went to the mall and bought new shoes for the little ones. I too bought new tennies, and a purse too! After the mall, we didn't have anything to do. And what does Kristin do when she has nothing to do??? I think you already know the answer to that question.
Kristin bakes!
Side Note: As you know, I worked out last week 4 times. Which in Kristin's rule book for 10 in '10, this equals the opportunity to bake. Earlier this week I did just that with the same results as the mac 'n cheese found in part 1. I made lemon pound cake from my great grandmother. Then I proceeded to throw it out. Remember, looks can be deceiving.
So Jen and I proceeded to make Italian Cream Cake! It was magnificent! I'm showing you a picture. But.....I....Cannot.....within my conscience, put that recipe up with my 10 in '10 post. That would just be wrong. For dinner we had Turkey Tetrazinni. Mmmm.
Baking cake for workout reward (check)
Eating healthy dinner (uncheck)
My trip ended on Sunday. And Monday was back to normal. Did I do ok in El Paso? I'm satisfied because on the whole, I ate well. Besides, how am I going to keep up with a lifestyle change that doesn't allow for LIFE to occur?
Here are my stats:
Workout: Tues, Wed, Sat, Mon, plus a mini workout on Thurs
Crunches: 50 a days, 6 out of 7 days
Weight Loss: 1.8 lbs
I am totally siked! (Is that how you spell it?) I lost weight while on vacation and while eating cake!
2nd Week Reward:
And here's my recipe for the week! Enjoy!
Simple Superb Salmon
1/3 c Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1/3 c Brown Sugar
1/3 c Water
1/4 c Vegetable Oil
1 Whole Salmon Filet, cut into 4 portions OR 4 Center Cut portions
1. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and oil. Set aside. Then place the salmon in a ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour, 3 hours is best.
2. At one hour, preheat the oven to 350.
3. Take the salmon out of the bag and place it on a cookie sheet or pyrex dish. {DO NOT throw away the remaining marinade.} Cook the salmon in the oven for 25 minutes or until the fish becomes flakey when you pierce it with a fork.
4. While the fish in cooking, heat the marinade in a small saucepan on low.
5. After the salmon is done, pour the leftover marinade over the fish. It tastes yummy over rice too!
