Thanks + it's cold + some food.

First of all, thanks so much for your suggestions on yesterday's where the heck should we move next?? post. If you haven't chimed in yet, I would LOVE to hear what you think!
 
Monday's workout: 

The Lucy girl and I went for the coldest, most slippery walk imaginable. 

I suppose to say coldest and most slippery is a little overstated. Especially because even we have been on colder/more slippery walks. Anyway, it works out well to have Lucy walk in front of me because if she slips then I just don't walk where she walked. It's not as mean as it sounds, she has 4 legs that she can catch herself on and I have the equivalent of 1.5 stable legs. This experience confirmed that I will not be running outside today unless everyone has magically taken care of their sidewalks (and we did not, so there you go).

Yes, my favorite color is blue. Do you ever look at a picture of yourself and you're pretty sure that's not what you look like?

I am going to start doing a little something to make my quads/glutes/hamstrings/hips stronger, but I don't think I'm rehabbed enough for actual weight lifting. I have been doing a little routine for hip strengthening everyday and today I added some (weight free) squats, a couple lunges, and some reverse lunge-twist thingies to the mix. Happy to report that I am not sore today. 


This is my last week of winter break. I know you must all feel so sorry for me that I only have 1 out of my 6 weeks left (kidding, I know that most normal people only get 1 week off total and I am sure this will catch up to me soon). I decided to celebrate mostly with (you will never guess this one) food. I guess my idea of a celebration is currently steamed vegetables with mustard + a yogurt bowl + stupid collages. Is that weird?

For dinner I made Gina's spinach lasagna rolls using cottage cheese instead of ricotta and fresh spinach instead of frozen. You should definitely makes these next time you want pasta!

You should probably bake them. We did, but sometimes it's very difficult to photograph food once it's cooked because it's being eaten and all. ;)

I'm planning to hit the gym today for treadmill variety. I never thought I would be a treadmill user just because of a little cold and ice but now I can't remember what I did without one.

What's your favorite color?
 
What is your favorite condiment? It used to be ketchup but my love for mustard is growing. Frank dislikes ALL condiments.

What kind of leg strengthening exercises do you do?
