Working It Out: This Is My Final Weight Loss Journey

Woke up this morning with the news telling us that severe weather was on the way.  Boy the radar was nothing but yellow, red and pink.  They said that we could expect up to 6 inches of rain and here in Houston that is a bad thing.  It floods. 

I played with all the boys on the bed and they were so cute this morning jumping around and jumping off and tearing through the house and coming back for some more chase the hand under the covers!  LOL!  They were wired because of the storm coming.  I got Mark off to work and I was so happy that he got out of here before the action started.  I got on the computer for about an hour and then shut it off because it started to get really dark outside.  News coverage went on most of the day.  Luckily we never lost power but there were times that I thought our street was going to go under water.  It usually does but recently they came and did some work on the drains and it seemed to keep up with the rain a whole lot better.

I mainly watched the news all day long or at least till the storm moved through our area of town and then I switched it to something else.  I don't know what the deal was but I was tired all day long.  I only napped for about an hour.  I did make some lunch and then I made the marinade for the chicken for supper.  It smelled delicious!  It had fresh orange juice, lime juice, tequila, salt, pepper, canola oil and garlic.  I marinaded it for about 4 hours.  OMG!  It was so good.  It was so full of citrus flavor along with the flavor of jalapeno.  I served it with garlic mashed potatoes and a veggie medley of snap peas, carrots and cauliflower.  I also made a salad and it was a fantastic meal.  I will post the recipe tomorrow and I did take a picture of it this time.

While the chicken was marinating I cleaned up the kitchen and unloaded and re-loaded the dishwasher.  I'm really start to get into this cooking.  I knew that I would I knew that it would take some time.  I'm still stumped as to what to have on Friday night.  I'm hungry for fish but I can't find a recipe that sounds good!  Sad cause I have tons of recipes!

Mark got home and he was so sweet to stand out in the cold and grill the chicken on the grill.  I was more than willing to grill it in my grill pan but he said and I agreed that it would be better on the grill.  Poor guy kept coming in and out of the house.  I know the grilling enhanced the flavor of the chicken.



We ate dinner and I had recorded American Idol and during that I fell asleep.  I couldn't keep my eyes open.  I slept till 10:00.  I don't know why but I have been exhausted all day long.  I'm so ready to go back to bed.  I want to get some cleaning on the house done tomorrow and I also need to go and pick up a few things from the store for this weekend.  Not much but I do need to get a few things so I better decide on a fish meal fast!  Tomorrow night is Beef Stew in the Crock-pot.  I bet it is going to be good too.  It is a new recipe as well.  So with that said, I guess I better go hit the hay and get some real good sleep cause tomorrow is going to have to be a busy day.

Sleep well and Stay tough!
