Hitting The Bunny Trail

I made sure that I hit the bunny trail and the gym was quite interesting. There was this guy who was doing a drawn-out version of crouching tiger hidden dragon and he was also playing an invisible guitar. When I was leaving, this woman dropped a pink stone on the floor then threw it in my gym bag. I think it wants to go home with you. It's a sunstone and will give you energy, she said.
After the gym, I hit the grocery store as I dreamed about a personal chef but not Chris Paul's chef, mind you, because I don't need anyone who has a recipe for Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding.

I was doing some internal whining about cooking but, really, it didn't take that long, the dishes are washed and, now, I can hit the ground running tomorrow without having to look for faster food or worry about cooking post-workout because post-workout is not the time to cook since I'm usually starving by then.

I made this veggie quiche which I've made several times.


I have a few more recipes in rotation

Cajun Turkey Quarter-Pounder

Farmer's Market Vegetarian Quesadillas

Skillet Lasagna

Seared Scallops with Warm Tuscan Beans

Senegalese Peanut Stew

Vegetarian Chili

but I definitely need to find more. Any suggestions?

After Swimming

My fascination with the pool continues and, for awhile, I had the pool all to myself.

That's 21 laps in the old fitness log.

The weather was perfect. When it's sunny, the wall is like a movie screen for the waves of the water and sunlight.

I was so hungry and sleepy after swimming. I ate dinner, healthy veggie quiche, half of a sweet potato and Roma tomato, immediately followed by about 1.5 cups of watermelon.

The good thing about watermelon is that it’s water heavy and low in calories. I forget that about fruits and vegetables at times.

My mother says that if she is sleepy and hungry, the desire to sleep rules. Since it was only about 7:00 p.m. when hunger and sleepiness struck, going to sleep was not an option since I’ve had bouts with insomnia.

I managed to keep my head up and finish a few tasks before sleeping tight.
