After spending an hour and forty-five minutes on the track I completed just under five miles and over 10,000 steps.  I’m so sore right now I can’t move my legs.  When I worked I average about 15,000 steps a day.  Now I’m lucky to get just over 2,000.

My low carb diet plus exercise is working but you’ll have to wait until Monday to find out just how well it’s working.  My morning routine of scrambled eggs and sausage is about to get old but I’ve been doctoring them up with different spices to make them taste different.  If you’ve never tried “Slap Yo Mama” seasoning you need to try it.  It’s kind of spicy and the flavor stays with you for a while but I have to say that it makes a bowl of scrambled eggs quite palatable. I’ll try and post a picture tomorrow or the next day so you can see what it looks like.

The next few days will be busy and I doubt that I’ll reach any of my goals but that not saying that I won’t try.  I’ll get a few steps in while grocery shopping in the morning but I’ve got to go to a high school football game tomorrow evening.  Saturday afternoon I’ve got to pull a trailer for the high school band about two hours from my home so they can have their instruments for a band competition.  It will be about midnight on Saturday night when I get home.  Sunday might be a good day to get some steps in but we’ll see.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Bacon, Breakfast, Exercise, Lodge Cast Iron, The Cast Iron Black Pot, treadmill, workout

This morning, as usual on most Sunday mornings, I got up and cooked breakfast for my kids.  It’s a tradition that my mom did for us as kids and I want to keep that tradition going. This morning it just so happens that I cooked bacon and eggs. My wife cooks 99.9% of the time during the week and I try to cook at least one meal during the weekends.

After breakfast I cleaned up the kitchen, changed into my workout clothes and got on the treadmill for nearly an hour.  I did 2.75 miles at an average of 3.2 mph.  I have nothing planned this week so maybe I can keep this trend up.  Being that the time has changed it’s now too dark to do anything outside once I get home to do anything else.  Might as well get on the treadmill instead of just sitting in my recliner watching television.

I spent nearly all day in the kitchen starting off with breakfast.  Bacon, eggs, and sausage all cooked in my 10in Lodge skillet.

After breakfast and after I cleaned up the kitchen I began the finishing prep work for the pizza for supper.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Breakfast, Busy Weekend, Cast Iron, Cooking, Pizza

I had a fairly busy day today.  It started when I took my daughter to the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame for her music lessons then home for lunch.  After lunch I prepared the dough for the pizza that I’m planning on cooking tomorrow night.  I did get a chance to watch a little bit of the Alabama game but it wasn’t long before I had to leave and go watch my daughter’s perform with their high school band at a band jamboree.

Tomorrow is going to be just as busy.  The girls are wanting me to cook breakfast in the morning then I’ve got some cast iron that I’ve got to start on the re seasoning process.  I’ve got yard work that I’d like to do plus I wouldn’t mind going on a bicycle ride if I have time.

Once I start on the pizza I’ll try and remember to take pictures so that I can share the cooking process.  Right now the dough is sitting in a bowl with tin foil over it so it can rise.  According to the instructions, once I get it in the skillet I’m supposed to let it rise again for another hour before I put it in the oven.  I’m really hoping this works out.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Breakfast, James Bond, Red October, Relaxing, Sean Connery

Got up this morning and made homemade pancakes, fried up some sausage and made some biscuits, all of which were ordered by my girls yesterday.  I really enjoy cooking and this weekend I made the best of it by cooking supper last night and breakfast this morning.  Everyone seemed to have enjoyed it because there is nothing left.

The rest of the day was spent in my recliner relaxing and enjoying the “Bond-a-Thon.  My favorite “Bond” has to be Sean Connery, I think he’s a great actor.  I’ve also liked him in “The Hunt for Red October”.  I’ve seen that movie 15 or more times and if it came on tonight I’d have to stay up late and watch it.

There’s simply not enough time in the day when you have a lot planned.  On weekends I try to cook for dinner because 1. to give my wife a break and 2. to try new things and to break the regular routine of my wife’s cooking.  Today I went grocery shopping and spent over $50 on supplies for tonight’s meal and tomorrow’s breakfast.  We had grilled BBQ chicken breasts, fried potatoes and Dutch Oven Blackberry Cobbler for supper.  Tomorrow morning we’re having pancakes with sausage and biscuits.

What was also planned but didn’t have time was to go on a bike ride.  Just simply didn’t have the time.  Maybe tomorrow after breakfast I’ll go on a ride but I also want to go find that waterfall that I’ve heard so much about.  It’s about an hour drive from here.  We shall see.
