Working Out - 5 days and counting

Everybody starts somewhere, so I made a decision, hopped on my treadmill and did just that.

Day 1 I ran 1 mile in 10 mins and 6 seconds. I lifted weights for my arms, added in squats and finished with sit ups done at various angles.

Day 2 was similar but with time shaved off of my mile as was day 3 and day 4 (I ran 1 mile in 9 mins and 28 seconds).

So today is day 5 and I ran 1.44 miles in 14 mins and 30 seconds.

It was hard, I was huffing and puffing. I ran at a 6.0 miles per hour pace the whole time. Needless to say I am making progress. It's small but it's there. I'm going for total body health, cardio, muscles, etc. I want a healthy body, organs and mind! I am excited and determined.

Stuffed Chicken - When you're bored of your normal food fair!

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts (this allows one each for dinner or left overs if there are only 2 of you)
2 slices of Bread (home made on plan)
1 purple onion cubed
6 slices of well cooked bacon
bacon fat
1 large spoonful of goat cheese


Directions:

1. Pound your chicken breasts flat.
2. Take the next 4 ingredients and put them in your food processor. Process until it's a fine mix (really fine, not chunky)
3. Take the last ingredient and in a bowl add to the processed 4. This will make a paste.
4. Spread the paste onto the chicken breasts
5. Roll your chicken and stick it together with tooth picks
6. Fry chicken on both sides
7. Pop in oven at 350 degrees until totally cooked (about 20-30 mins)

Serve with a side of Brussel sprouts and Salad with home made dressing (honey mustard is good).

This was super yummy and half eaten already - haha
Over Eager!
