A quick dish...

Today was a cross training day for me...tomorrow might be as well if my hip, and knee aren't feeling up to par. I road a 10k in about a half hour, and learned how to make this amazing dinner from the Food Network! Yes, my gym has 12 inch flat screen TVs for all of the cardiovascular equipment, with cable! After I was finished riding the bike, I was still waiting to see the final product on the show, so I stood there and stretched while waiting. I then was cleaning up my machine, and the sweetest little elderly lady says to me, "Well that looks pretty good!" So I stood there and talked with her for a little bit, mainly telling her what was in the dish. I see her and her husband in there every day that I am there. They are always walking on the treadmills, and lifting weights, keeping in shape in to their old age. It's really great to see that because I don't feel like many people, especially older people work out much. They are the sweetest couple though, and I'm hoping that in the next couple days that I will learn their names. When they were leaving she had asked me if I just stay at the gym all day long...I usually get there before they do, and almost always leave after they have already left. They're like my grandparents in the area! It's great! Oh, and another great thing...I weighed myself just to see where I'm at and to track my progress. I am now under 130 pounds! It's been a while, but it's great to be there again! Although, I need to get a measuring tape and use that more so than the scale. Still, I was happy about that though! Over and out!

Lo!
