A Hit and a Miss

Tonight on the menu for dinner was meatloaf green pepper rings.  They were very tasty!

After I browned them on both sides, I baked them uncovered for 30 minutes at 350.  It was tasty and VERY filling, so this was a hit for me.

The miss.....mashed cauliflower.  Epic. Fail.  I was SO excited for them and they were just, well, nasty, there is no getting around that.  I used this recipe and it was just not what I expected.  Using both coconut milk and coconut oil gave them a coconut flavor that I did not think meshed well with the garlic and chives.  The consistency was too lumpy and it was just very disappointing.  After one bite, I opted for a small green salad.  Bob was brave and tried them too, he also opted for a green salad.

Also on the agenda today was Step and Pump class.  This is another torture session that I put myself through.  Although it was EXTREMELY tough, after this 4th class, I can feel it getting a little easier each time.  But, I'm not going to lie, it kicked my out of shape butt tonight!  Once again, I was introduced to more ways in which the weighted body bar can be used---who knew?

I also registered for the Dirty Girl race in Milwaukee on 8/16.  A group of friends and I will join together to run and take on whatever challenges this course brings our way.  It should be very fun and very interesting.  I envision many future stories starting with "Remember at Dirty Girl..."

So, a hit, a miss, an hour of cardio and weight torture, and registration for a goal to keep me motivated. Just another hump day.

This is my story.  My PaleOMG story.
