Day 470 - Steamed Wontons

Jen and I went over to see Motts and Rachel at Rachels New Apartment in Clinton. We brought some wine and some absolutely delicious Wontons. We decided to make two types: I made Buffalo Chicken ones and Jen made Tofu and Vegetable. All you do is make the mixtures and then get them in the wonton shells. Seal the corners with water and then we steamed them. Add Soy Sauce and Blue Cheese Dipping Sauces with some ChopSticks and you`re good to go!!

They were great! And I am willing to admit that Jens were better than mine. The Tofu and Veggies ones with some soy sauce were really amazing.

Day 469 - Chicken Parmigiana

Ok here we go... I have been really stresses about my list lately and finally realizing how truely "Ambitious" that it is (Thanks Bea). Unfortunetly another item has gone by that is not going to happen. 33.) Go to The Olympics. Unless I win the lottery next week and the CT Lottery people pay me in cash on the spot, this one is going to go by without a check mark... I still have alot of places to travel and alot of things to experience. Ill do my best but this list is looking more and more demanding by the day...

On a litter note, I was in the kitchen again this morning as I am dieting along with the P90x workouts but have found that I am very bored with the food. There is only so much roughage I can eat. So I decided before I fell off the wagon I would "reward" myself with some cheesy baked Chicken Parmigiana. Its Low Sodium, Low Fat and hopefully delicious! As always Recipies Available Upon Request!!! Its Super Easy..

Day 465 - ShovelingX & P90x Week 2

Started the workout day with some shoveling. Then after warming back up I did Chest and Back for the second time. I did notice that I did some extra reps on a couple of the exercises but nothing to get too excited about.
I also added AbRipperX for the first time too. You know those 8 minute ab videos? Well this is 16mins and you never stop. There are over 350 moves in the video, I did about 200 and will pick it up on Friday when I do it again.

Thanks for checking it out!!!

Day 459 - Better Late Than Never

Day 3 of P90x - Shoulders & Arms. I would do that workout twice if I never have to do Plyometrics again. It's 5 sets of 3 excercises. Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps and repeat.
I also got some advice on soreness and recovery. Thanks guys! I plan on mixing on some running and cycling when the soreness calms down a bit. I would like to get in a 5k around March or April but Ive never done it and it seems a bit daunting.
Also, I'm doing "The Ride" with Johnny and Company this summer. Check it out at www.ridingtherivalry@blogspot.com Basically they ride from Yankee Stadium to Fenway Park. Mostly they cover NY and MA. It's going to be great. Let me know if you have any media connections that want to cover it or can or want to help in any way.

Day WayToMany

Today is Day 2 of P90x. Plyometrics. "Its the X in P90x."

Starting to feel sore, but I really do feel better and motivated. I made so e promises and don't want to let anyone down so that helps. Also it helps that I'm working on 10-12 or so goals on my list at the same time.
I'm going to post my updates daily (hopefully).
My buddy Alex says: "Pain is weakness leaving the body." Will Power and I are tag-teaming the shit out of Pain right now.
