Week 3

This week I tried to redeem my goal, and put more energy towards making this change. I still am trying to figure out how and when to work out. I pulled out an exercise video that I bought about 5 years ago, and actually really enjoyed it. Then I just did some other exercises in my room for another night of working out. I think for now I am going to stick to the workout video. Oh and when I went home for this past weekend I worked out for an hour on Saturday by doing yard work. My mom asked if I would run the weed wacker while she mowed. I was actually happy to be doing it again. I mean growing up and doing the yard was never one of my favorite things to do. But living away from home and coming back to do yard work was kind of...nice. I think it was the whole taking the weed wacker and just "wacking" things. Luckily no sprinklers, or fence posts suffered any damages. I did get some rocks to the shin and forhead. I consider it a success since no bleeding or wounds happened.

Now food for this week was what my family likes to call spanish rice. Its ground beef, tomato sauce, and rice. I have been wanting to have it for a long time and founding the timing of this weekend perfect for the meal. My mom and I were able to go shopping for the ingredients. Then she was able to walk me through it step by step. I learned that to cook rice you have to do certain things. Like if you cook 1 cup of rice then you need to use two cups of water (double the water to as much rice.) Oh and "simmering" is the boiling but only with little bubbles. Oh and getting the meat from the pan into the casserole dish was very messy. As you can tell from the pictures the meal turned out great, another success to add onto my cooking resume.
