ebonlockGot lots done last night, not the least of which was grocery shopping at Trader Joe's. I must share this as it was one of my few moments of *genius*. I picked up these garlid/portobello mushroom burgers they had that I'd never tried before and heated one up for dinner. Pulled out two slabs of shepherd's bread then decided to spread a little Chummus on them just to see what would happen. The result: taste orgasm.
I shit you not, this was like the best meal I've had in ages.
I have 3 patties left, one is earmarked for Aelf because she MUST TRY THEM, and the other two are all mine. But for a little over $2.00 for a package of 4 I believe I more than got my money's worth. Combined with some sesame honey almonds for dessert (damn you and your delectable nut selection Trader Joe's, damn you to hell!), and we're talking one seriously happy Ellie.
Of course I felt just decadent enough after such a meal to try a new abs workout routine that was deadly. I couldn't even make it through the entire thing and ended up hoarsely muttering, "No, Tammi dear, you do 12 reps, I'll do 8." But as far as obliques go, you can't beat this routine even if it does leave me whimpering for my mama. As inspiration for getting back up on the working out horse, I popped in my Bellydance Superstars dvd and stared at Rachel Brice's midsection. If you've never done this I highly recommend it, because her body comes as close to perfection as one can possibly hope to achieve in a lifetime. Now I know I'll never get there, not at my age, but it doesn't hurt to have goals and this one's slightly more realistic than sprouting large white feathered wings spontaneously from my back. Not by much, granted, but enough.
And tonight I finally get back to dance class as I feel like my old self again and am eating entirely normally, woo! Also the 3 pounds I lost while sick are actually staying off, go me! Now to keep them off while I'm on vacation in Vegas may be a bit tougher...
