Hey all! Quick update....
Haven't been back in the gym. Generally feeling better, but my knee is a bit of an issue right now. I think I strained the ligament when we did a lot of walking around Chicago. (Probably due to carrying the boy around.) I'm not too worried about it, since I did the same thing playing hockey a few years ago. It will be better in time, but I'm taking it easy as I can.
I also had a very busy (but productive) week at work that shut down my workout schedule. Hoping to be better this week.
On the plus side, I picked up a new road bike and bike rack this weekend, then took Mick to the park to ride a bit. We had a great time. The initial reports on his school screening said his gross motor skills are a little behind, so I'm trying to spend as much time outside with him as I can before the year starts. He loves to ride, but has been confined to our street so far. This seemed like a great way to get him out and rolling, plus get some weekend exercise too. Love the bike, smooth ride, and looking forward to being on it more.
Putting together a batch of ribs for the holiday. Also planning on making a couple of the low fat sides from my Moosewood cookbook. Planning on sesame spinach and an asparagus and mushroom risotto. I'll let you know how they turn out and share the recipe if warranted. (I can tell you for sure the veg lasagna was out of this world!)
