It seems all I do is think about food!

OK I have only been off from training for one week and yes the rest felt good, but now I am starting to go crazy wanting to get out and run, bike, swim something. However, I know I need to rest one more week. However I admit I did do some easy weights on Monday and I will today the same at lunch as well. Just want to get the first initial soreness out of the way before I start back full training next week . See the picture on the right, this is what I am going to look like if I don't stop eating. Good Grief Charlie Brown it is down right unreal! OK so maybe I am kidding myself a little but it really is tough to control your appetite when you are used to training 6-7 days a week and burning more calories in one day than some do in 3 days. All I can say is someone please hide the turkey from me because that thing does not have a chance come Thursday!

Been working on my pasta dishes, got a few you may want to try. Before we get started though let me just say that a good pasta is just not the same without some good bread. I have made my own, but have yet to master that, so just make sure to get some good fresh bread from the Bakery before getting started and no butter please just good olive oil and pepper, feel free to add some fresh garlic if you are like me. OK two simple ones: First use whatever pasta you prefer, I personally like the mniture penne. Get that boiling and start with some skinless boneless chicken, cut in to strips or diced, add some small shrimp. Sautee all of this in a skillet with olive oil, garlic and basil. I like to throw in some scallions as well. When the pasta is ready add this to the skillet and mix in some pinot gridio to taste. It is that simple - oh yea for a little extra flavor break up some spinache leaves into the noodles as well. This adds a nice color as well as flavor. #2 Pretty much a similar dish only let's try a veggie one instead and maybe some red sauce. Same pasta, cut up some squash, both zuccini and yellow squash, again sautee in olive oil, basil and garlic. Mix in some red sauce, either buy something you like via a jar in the store or make your own via paste, water and spices like basil and oregano. Both of these are easy, you make a lot at once and have it for a later meal. However the best thing about it is: There is no recipe just try stuff - look stuff like Oregano, Basil, Garlic, Olive Oil, Squash, Spinache, dried red peppers, Scallions, shrimp etc. etc. just go together in almost any form when it comes to pasta. So just start cooking and throw in what sounds good. I swear mine is better than the stuff you pay $12 for at the resteraunt!
