Cooking It Up

The Sky Fit Challenge is awesome.

Today was a great day.   Amazing work out, probably the first time I’ve worked out my back since the great Back Spasms of ’92.  We all remember that.  I think since then, I’ve pretty much left that part of my body alone and, boy, did it show today!   But the work out was really great, and very hard, and I was exhausted by the end of it!

This afternoon my nutritionist, Christy came over for Extreme Makeover: Kitchen Edition. We went through every piece of food in my kitchen and got rid of everything that’s not on my nutrition plan…all the sugars, the processed foods, the pastas and breads, and even my favorite taco shells.  Ouch!  But it’s worth it, next week we’ll go to the market together and try to replace all of those things with their healthier-whole-food equivalent.  Video from Extreme Kitchen Makeover to come!

I cooked up some salmon, asparagus and kale tonight for dinner.  Kale!  Kale?  I never heard of this vegetable, and now it’s my favorite.  Roast some Kale at 375 for 15 minutes with some extra virgin olive oil and a tiny bit of salt, you got your self a side dish, my friend!!  Add some baked salmon and a little asparagus, a couple glasses of water…you got yourself a happy Katie.
