Those are like potato pancakes. Like your husband, I'm not a very big fan of sweet potatoes, but it seems like it would be just as easy to make with other kinds of potatoes. Or you could replace the sweet potato with ground beef.
I like my temperatures in Kelvin: it's going to be 299 degrees today so I won't need a jacket.
Yeah - they look like potato pancakes...hmmmm yum yum - my husband cannot stand sweet potatoes. it was kind of tricky making the food. I told him I am making sweet potato for my dinner. ha-ha. since i put spices in it - it tasted of garam masala/curry etc rather than sweet potato.
I m sure he would vote for beef too!!
No kidding, Kelvin?
Physics class was such a long time ago...
Hey Justina - ya - the treadmill does go easier with "distraction".... I do have my treadmill in front of TV at home - I pick a fav. 1/2hr show -then when show is done , my 1/2hr session is done too - & the time does go faster if I'm watching something I like...
- for my summer-season - weather/outdoor walks - I have some podcasts on my iphone that I listen to - Fat2Fit, ...and gonna try & check out "dishing up nutrition" this spring ....
... & yup - -4c is PEANuts.... try -16c & blowing snow..... that's when I stay INSIde ....
cheers gal,
Maryann
Oh thanks Maryann for stopping by. Treadmill in front of tv sounds great. I used to have one when i lived with my parents. Now we don't have the space for it. Ipodcasts sounds great too for the outdoor exercise. I was thinking about doing the same - never got around to it. or a speaking book? (not sure how they are called)
-16c & snow. last time i experienced that cold - was in Austria...on skiing trip..gosh i miss skiing!!! And after a good day of skiing: fireplace, snuggled up with a book, having a hot chocolate...snow doesn't sound too bad if you don't have to get to places.
Yes, sometimes I get distracted watching something on the treadmill and go over my time! I love doing that on the treadmill especially, cause even if you're not paying attention the treadmill forces you to continue at the same pace (unlike the elliptical which you might accidentally slow down on)
Hey Mystic - you are right - treadmill is defo better for that reason. i only walk on treadmill though - my body is not built for running
Elliptical is more suitable for me...i quite happily spend an hour on it (recently that is - like a month ago i wouldnt have lasted 30 mins). I just make sure i burn a certain amount of calories. Because i m guilty at slowing down a bit
when watching a show.

Today I had a very active day. I happened to read an article this morning about the disadvantages of "sitting" for long periods of time. That really inspired me.
I barely sat down. I tidied the apartment too.
I had some trouble with my exercise DVD. The thing is, it's region 2 (Europe) & it doesn't work in the DVD player here. Ugh. So i have to use my laptop. But my laptop decided not to recognize the CD drive. How annoying is that? I had to play around with it forever. Nothing worked. Somehow restarting my laptop did the trick..It started the DVD. This was not the first time it happened. I don't understand why. Anyway the main thing is that I could play my belly dancing fitness DVD & I could complete my daily exercise.
My food today:
B: Ezekiel bread + peanut butter (made from JUST peanut butter nothing else) + banana & herbal coffee
S: NOTHING (morning passed fast)
L: Red rice-feta salad - one of my favorite healthy meals
S: defrosted strawberries, blueberries & balckberries
D: Marinated anchovies!!!!!! You might call me a freak but i loved them - I actually had them on their own.. they are my fave dinner (out of my healthy-diet food items that is) Then i had some banana with walnuts as a dessert
WATER & HERBAL TEA (unsweetened)
Exercise: bellydancing (45 mins), body sculpting (15mins), stretching (5 mins)
PS/ I will read your diaries tomorrow - so tired now
