Sweeet2th's Journal, 23 July 2014

I woke up this morning singing Kenny Loggins "Footloose". I was hopelessly affected by that movie as a youth and I still watch it at least once a year! For me, it's one of those movies I can watch a million times and never get tired of it! That song also makes for one FABULOUS 3-minute morning dance party! Give it a whirl:

Footloose - Kenny Loggins

I've also been plugging away at the P90X DVD's. I can't believe I'm already almost half way through Week 3! My body has been changing a LOT! Also, on my morning hike around the town, I was challenged by our mailman to run up these HUGE set of steps that span an entire block and at least 80-90 vertical feet and I DID IT!! Normally, I just walk up them, which is plenty to get your heart pumping, trust me. I had no idea I was strong and fit enough to RUN up those stairs!

I think I'm going to make some zucchini chips today, if I have enough time between studying and working out! I did a zucchini count this morning and I have TWENTY-FOUR LARGE zucchini! That's a lot of chips! I don't really eat anything with flour in it, so I'm making some sprouted quinoa zucchini muffins with dates, walnuts, hemp, chia and flax seeds.

OK, I better get back to business here and cross off more of my to-do list, Folks! Happy Hump Day!! :)

My husband LOVES Footloose...seriously, LOVES it...also, I'm on a big zucchini kick right now too! I made zucchini pasta the other night, I added it to my lunch today, and tonight I'm making grilled mini-zucchini pizzas!! How do you make the chips? Dehydrater?

I don't have a dehydrator (but it's on my wishlist this year!) so I use a 225F oven for ~2 hours. I hate using the oven on hot summer days like this, but it's a necessary evil, I'm afraid. If I still lived in the California desert, where it gets pretty scorching, I would put them on my dashboard in my car! I knew people there at work who would bake chocolate chip cookies in their car for lunch time!

HA! I always thought that was a myth...thanks for the tip!! Zucchini chips here I come!!

It takes about 4-5 hours to bake cookies in your car on a really hot day (+95F). I don't know how well "zucchini car chips" would work here (Northeastern PA) because it's rather humid. They'd probably be a little soggy. Here's the technique and recipe I use for my zucchini chips: http://www.tablefortwoblog.com/zucchini-chips/

another great song! and happy dance! i have such a problem with steps. i went up two flights to get to the train the other night and i was really sucking wind. my new cello instructor is on the third floor, so now i have to drag a cello up two flights. it will be embarrassing to be all out of breath when i knock on her door.

I love the cello. I was a classical violinist for 19 years and I also played a little viola and cello! Keep hauling around that cello and you'll be fit in no time!
