encouraging inspirations: geeeeeeeeeeeeeez cooking is a lot of work!

Welp, I cooked a really yummy meal tonight that was relatively healthy.

Boneless skinless chicken breast, with onions, diced tomatoes, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, zucchini, garlic and olive oil, and red potatoes. Sauteed first, and them baked at 350 for 20 min. Easy peasey! And I've got lunch for the next couple days.

All the veggies were great, and the chicken was very juicy, just a little on the chewy side. I did cook it with the foil on the entire time so I'm wondering if that had anything to do with it?? Avid cooks out there, help me! Maybe I'll try a marinade next time...

And for dessert I made Whole Wheat Orange Cranberry Muffins. They are a great healthy substitute to your standard muffin, it's just not good to eat 3 like I just did... buuuuuuuuut they're so yuuuummmy!

As my roomie would say, our house is currently produce-arrific! Lots of veggies and fruits, and now it's time to get creative to really enjoy them.

Setting the clock for 4:45am to wake-up early for the gym tomorrow morning. Classes are my favorite to do at the gym. Classes help you push yourself to your limits. However, I have taken a gym class before and the instructor was gasping for air more than I was, so a good instructor is key as well! There are the Glance-at-the-clock-instructors, either they are boring you that you can't wait for class to end, or they are working you so hard you want to crawl to the corner of the room and throw-up =) I once took a kickboxing class at my gym with an instructor that had some serious issues with men. With every new move she kept yelling "Kick him! Punch him! Push him away!" lol. So beware, choose your instructors wisely.
