Day 24 - Going to Bed

It is 11pm and I am about to go to bed.  I was really trying to go to bed early tonight but between the dishes, the laundry, and straightening up the living room picking up after my kids, it didn't work out quite as planned.

As I mentioned in my earlier post I wasn't able to make it to the gym today.  I ended up FINALLY leaving my client's at 6:10pm.  I realized that (once again) I didn't have time to cook either of the new chicken recipes I found.  I didn't want the chicken to go to waste so I figured I would just use an old recipe.  I checked my All Recipes app on my iPad really quick to see if I could find a quick recipe to barbecue chicken and sure enough I did.  The recipe was "Favorite Barbecue Chicken" by Amanda Anne.  The ingredients:

*olive oil
*onion
*garlic
*ketchup
*honey
*brown sugar
*apple cider vinegar
*worcestershire sauce
*salt & pepper
*2 skinless/boneless chicken breasts

I am extremely happy to report that the recipe was delicious!  I also cooked a side of steamed veggies (carrots, broccoli, and green beans) and a side of brown rice.  I have spent hours finding recipes online and none of them have turned out very good.  I finally find one that's great and it only took two minutes to find on my iPad...go figure.  You can check out the recipe yourself at: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/favorite-barbecue-chicken/

My the time my girls and I had finished dinner and cleared the table it was already 8:45pm.  I was going to take my girls for a walk downtown to get ice cream but it was way too late.  My six year old was really excited about going for a walk and was bummed when I told her it was too late.  I decided to compromise and took her on a quick 15 minute walk.  So I didn't get to do the cardio I wanted today but at least it wasn't due to procrastinating.

I realized that MyFitnessApp has a blog on it's site.  I am going to start copying my posts onto there as well (since more people will probably read it there anyway...lol).

Alright...I have to go to bed.  I really wanted to wake up early and go for a run but it's already 11:05pm and waking up at 5am only leaves me with around 5.5 hours of sleep...not enough.  Oh well, I will just have to try and go tomorrow after work.  Good night everyone.  xoxo
