Today’s Workout: It was not the day.

wp-1678988364379

My period is making my joints hurt more than normal (I bet the cold is a factor, too). The desk peddler was all I could handle since not only am I achy, I’m too tired for coffee to be effective. But, I have a ton of ARCs I really need to finish so, I did that while using the peddler.

For lunch, I took the time to pack my Bentgo salad container (not sponsored or an affiliate). It’s a nifty way to take a salad with me and keep the ingredients and dressing separated. I over did the onion but other than that, it was very filling. It’s a pain in the ass to clean but I love using it.

I made dinner at work with the Itaki (still no money made from this link). This time was steak tips; which I honestly like more than the chicken.

Even though I didn’t get in a run, I was more active during the day. I usually only hit an average of 2,000 steps a day and now, I average 3,000 or more. Even if it’s just to get up and look out a different window in the office, I do it so I’m not sitting so long. I have a movement reminder on my smartwatch and it’s going off less these days. I hope to keep this up and finally get out of the 200 club in a few weeks.

Winter Dinner.

No, I’m not turning this blog into a food blog but I’m proud of this so there.

             

I pulled a classic “I only came to the store for a few things” and ended up catching sight of the same type of garlic bread Ma used to buy. I figured it would pair nicely with the rib roast and baked veggies. There’s come tomatillo ‘salsa’ on top because I was cleaning out the fridge and found them. I totally forgot I bought them.

I put salsa in quotes because I just kinda chopped them up, threw them in some lime juice, and mixed in some of the garlic cloves I’d shoved under the roast. As you can see, I have a very detailed method of “put stuff on the thing till it tastes good.”

I don’t have a recipe. I put the herbs on the meat, then the meat in the oven for a few hours on low heat. I like to slow cook things in the oven during the winter. It just makes me feel all cozy and comfortable, and I have meals for days. I like to have the leftovers so I spend less time cooking, jump right into my workouts, and have more time to write.
