One Day At A Time....

(PS: I've officially fallen off the blog a day goal....dont hate me!) Tonight's dinner? Mexican Hobo Stew 1 onion diced 1 large tomato cubed (or diced if you prefer) 1/3 cup yellow bell pepper diced 1/4 pound ground chicken 1 cup Boca Crumbles 1 box Rice-A-Roni (Mexican Style) seasonings (salt, pepper, cumin, red pepper powder, garlic powder) 2 3/4 C water 1 1/2 TBSP olive oil shreaded cheese and sour cream cook the onion and peppers. add ground chicken and cook. add boca crumbles and tomatoes and cook for just a few minutes. add rice a roni (with seasoning packet), add water. cook till rice is tender and most of the water has been absorbed. Scoop into bowls and top with cheese and sour cream. ENJOY! NOTE: no Mexican hobo's were harmed in the making of this dinner. I gathered ingredients from different parts of my kitchen and I am all out of Mexican hobo's.

Blogging every day is hard. Let's just average a blog entry each day, OK? Great!   Yesterday I biked for 20.575 miles in 1:50:55! That is the furthest I have gone... ever!   So I am a bit excited (and sore!)   AND that knocks off over 20% of my monthly biking mileage goal!   So here's to a little update and today's QOTD:   "When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments.  Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man.  And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became.  Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others."    ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in the Hills

While in the process of not watching TV for a week, I have realized that there are a lot of things I could do instead of watching TV. June brings the hope of achieving more goals, hence the list below: 1. Finish Reading/listening to The Book of Mormon before July 1, 2011. I'm currently in Helaman Chapter 7. That is an average of 2.5 chapters each day. (So far today, I've already gotten 4 done! So now I'm about half way thru chapter 11!) 2. Bike 100 miles by July 1, 2011 This averages out to be 4 miles every day but Sundays. (This was my goal for last year.... ALL of last year!) 3. Mow the front and back lawn at least 1 time every 7 days. 4. Blog about something every day of June 2011! While I would love to achieve these goals, I know things will fall into my path to deter me from them. Distractions, disgruntlement and disappointment always happen and they always will. But I can try. Today's QOTD (Quote of the day): "Success u...

Well, that didn't work as well as I had hoped. I didn't watch TV shows, but due to a loop-hole I invented, I did watch more movies in a weekend than I usually do in most months! Although I did manage to get a good handle on my laundry, due to some nasty weather, I wasn't able to get as much done outside as I had hoped. My Farmville farm looks far nicer and less weed infested than my real garden does. And my back yard looks like a jungle. But I made it the entire week without watching any TV shows!
