Every Gym’s Nightmare

Hey guys.

I made a really tough decision over the weekend.

You all know I have been really stressed lately about my mom, my new job,writing for Grounded Fitness, etc, etc. Oh, and my dog is sick now, too.

Anyway, I’ve decided to take a bit of a hiatus from Every Gym’s Nightmare. Just for a while. With everything that has been going on, EGN has become one more thing on my plate begging for my time, and adding to my stress level. Right now, I can’t enjoy it, which is the exact opposite of what I want.

I’m going to keep the site up and update occassionally, but until things calm down a little bit, I’m going to focus my attention on making GroundedFitness the best it can be. And on my sanity.

In order to blog the way I want, GroundedFitness is going to become more personal. I don’t know how well that will mesh with Susan’s style, but, whatever. So expect more frequent updates and more entertaining peices over there, and I will be back to EGN when things calm down.

Im not gone, just in a different place. (Sounds like I died.)

And I’ll be answering the questions I recieved over the weekend there, later tonight (along with a new giveaway!)

Thanks for all of your support at EGN and I hope that in the meantime you will be just as faithful to Grounded Fitness.

See ya Monday!!

and I’d like you guys to join me.

Head to GroundedFitness to see what it is.

I should write a cookbook called 10 minutes meals.

I’ve been on a bit of a cooking streak lately, which is odd, but delicious. I thought I’d share one of my staples with you.

I’m only one girl, which is why I rarely cook. If I put forth a tremendous amount of effort to make something, its either not worth to make enough for one meal, or I’m eating the same thing for a week straight so I don’t waste any.

So I’ve taken to quick versitile foods that last a while. For example, my garbonzo tomato sauce.

1 can diced tomatoes
1 can garbonzo beans
salt, pepper, red peppers flakes and basil to taste.

Directions: Heat everything in a pan.

Doesn;t get much easier than that.

It makes a ton, it freezes well, and you casn use it for a lot of different things. The night i made it i had it with pasta.

Last night, I got home from work and wanted something light, so I baked a acorn squash, heated the sauce in the microwave and viola.

Its also good on rice or on top of fish or chicken. I eat it by itself sometimes, too, if I’m feeling exceptionally lazy.

So I promised I’d show you the oatmeal bars I made for a client. I got the recipe from KathEats, but they turned out a lot like the little oatmeal cookie things I usually make.

I made two batches, and used different ingredients for each. The first was cinnamon, raisin, and walnut, and then the second batch was banana, peanut butter, and peanut.

Schmeared with more PB:

Delish.

Porkchop has to wear a cone cause he has a cut on his ear that he won’t quit messing with.

I was planning on taking him for a run today to make up for it, but it started raining. Poor thing. He’s so upset with me.

I’m off to make oatmeal bars for some clients. I’ll show you the finished product later.

Today I’m being interviewed by the lovely MizFit as commenter of the month. Head ove there and check it out.

Those of you that have been reading for a while know that I do not like cardio. You also know how much I love strength training.

I was just sitting here thinking about my workouts the past week trying to justify taking the night off and I have done cardio EVERY night this week and I haven’t strength trained AT ALL.

Since I got my treadmill, I haven’t been to the gym. Which is fine, that’s the reason I got it. It just doesn’t occur to me to do strength training at home.

Poo.

Guess I can’t take the night off. The plus side of it is, I’m starting to like cardio and getting a lot more of it in.

I’m off to kettlebell.

You go read GroundedFitness.

I love this
