What have I been up to?

This year is zipping by. This site hasn’t seen much action in 2009. Even my Twittering (the Quick Updates you see to the left) has been drastically reduced. My excuse is that I can’t write. But the real reason is I have no good direction of what to write here. Not many people visit this site, but those who do vary greatly, which limits the usefulness/interestingness of what I can post. What I would like to do when I find the time is to divide the homepage into 4 sections: Food (recipes and such), Fitness (my latest workouts), Web (work stuff) and Random/day-to-day stuff (vacation recaps, cat photos, etc.). That would help the site to make more sense to visitors, and maybe give me some direction in what I want to post. For today I will do a summary of each section.

Food: Hubby and I were on a diet the first part of the month in preparation for our vacation. I cooked some tasty diet food that I would like to document, including: Lemongrass chicken, zucchini lasagna and turkey lettuce wraps.

Fitness: I lost some weight (~10lbs). Cardio every morning and night. Very little strength training. Went on vacation, gained some back. Want to get back to lifting and running outside with the dog more. Yesterday I ran to Anytime just as the mega-snowstorm was starting for a quick workout. I did 5 min cardio warm up followed by a short full body circuit (squat, deadlift, lunge, lat pulldown, pushups, bicep curl, shoulders). I can feel it in my quads today, both surprising and good. 10 minute run on treadmill this AM.

Web: I need to research Internet Explorer 8. Bleh. Launched www.prudentialnewjersey.com at work.

Random: Went to Cancun for the first time ever – February 17th-23rd. Had a really awesome time, lots of good food and sunshine. Need to go through our pics (we didn’t take enough) and post some. Tonight we are going to a play at the Gutrie Theater. Were supposed to go last night, but a huge snowstorm rolled through, so I postponed until tonight.
