WW and friends of WW 7/27 - 8/2

I had to laugh about this!  especially with all the discussion about scales last week

I had a great time at my race today!

RR is up!

Way to improve on your previous results - even with the training limitations you have.  Congrats. 

Thanks everyone!

It was a great way to end this season and my Nebraska Tri career - next year it will be all new races for me - exciting and scary at the same time!

Is everyone on vacation this week - or is the problem everyone is back from vacation and swamped at work?   My problem is the latter.  Any way - I am still sticking with my plan of not eating out at lunch - it seems to be working (for the 3 days that I have made it).

 Does anyone have suggestions on a resource for quick dinner suggestions for two.  Neither my wife nor I cook and it is very hard to come up with something last minute when we get home...Also - when we do cook and there are leftovers they seem to go to waste. 

I'm headed on vacation - so trying to get stuff wrapped up

Something quick and easy that I like to make is chicken, rice and black beans

I use

• chicken breasts, dice them up
• black beans - (be sure to drain them)
• Rice
• Salsa

and mix it all together

It's quick, easy, yummy, good for you and works well for left overs

Here's another good one

French dip

Ingredients

• Rump Roast
• Beef Broth
• Buns

Directions

• Season roast with salt and pepper
• Put roast in covered baking dish/pan/roaster (whatever you have)
• Put roast in oven at 100 degrees when you go to bed, let it cook overnight (I put a little water in the bottom of the roaster
• In the morning – put the roast in a crock pot with two cans of beef broth
• Cook on low until you are ready to eat
• Slice up the beef
• Use the broth for the au jus

I am tired.

Over worked.

Not enjoying life so much right now.

That is all.

 Excellent Job!!!   Great 4.5lb loss and even better getting through the 200lb barrier.  Keep it up.

Hi everyone!  Just got back from vacation in California last night.  Managed to get a few workouts in while visiting my brother & his family, but no cycling.  Hoping to do that today.  I went up a few lbs. but that's fine.  It'll come back down when I get back into my routine and eat normal things (instead of flavored iced coffees and a monster Ghirardelli ice cream sundae -- just had to have one while in San Francisco)! 

Terri - Long time no *see* - Hello!!!!!!!

Laurie - glad you had a great vacation!  welcome back

Melissa - congrats on the loss!  and glad to hear everyone is ok!
