Unfit

So I didn't make it to Weight Watchers last night. Thursday is a new night for me, I used to go on Wednesdays and a friend called to ask if I would go to a movie with her. I remembered W.W. about an hour before she came to pick me up.

But I did try a new recipe that was FANTASTIC!! I am always leery about eating cooked spinach because I think of canned spinach and well YUCK!! But fresh is so yummy. I really think you all should try this:

5.8 oz of couscous prepared (next time I am gonna cook with chicken broth)
1/3 cup chopped walnuts heated for 2 minutes in a sprayed pan then set aside
1.5 lbs cut up chicken breast (i added a little season salt) browned
6 cups of spinach add to chicken along with walnuts once chicken is cooked all the way. (I actually only used about 3 or 4 cups, 6 just seemed too much.) Serve chicken on top of the couscous. Once I topped the couscous with the chicken I thought it just needed some tomatoes for the eye appeal. I was right it was so pretty once I did that. And it tasted very good. My kids wouldn't touch it, but you know what I am passed caring about that.

Also yesterday I decided to walk on my treadmill during nap time. About 28 minutes into my planned 1 hour work out my legs started to itch. At the 34 minute mark my legs we so itchy and burning I just could not bare it any longer so I stopped and went to shower. My legs were bright red and starting to swell and felt very hot to the touch. After showering I went on line to look this up and see if there was a name for it and if I should worry. This is not the first time I have had this happen. I discovered what was going on.... I am unfit!! It was a hard thing to swallow. I guess while exercising my muscles get warmed up and require more blood but the capillaries can't supply the blood fast enough which causes the itching. This really broke my heart. It takes so much work and effort and time to become fit but it only takes minutes to become unfit. My new plan of action is to walk a little slower and maybe cut it in half and just exercise twice a day instead of all at once.
