There Should be an App for That!

Today for my 43,  I decided to use the same band that I used in my workout yesterday.

I put one loop on my right foot and then pulled the band up (and tried to keep lots of resistance on it) for the move which was a leg extension and toe tap.  Lift right knee up –

lift
lift

extend leg (and hold for just a second) –

extend & hold (and balance!)
extend & hold (and balance!)

bend knee again and lightly tap toe on ground before repeating.

tap down
tap down

This was a great move for my quads.  Plus, my hip flexors got a bit of strengthening and the balance part helped work my core!  And, this was one of those moves that after I did the first set of 43 with my right leg, I switched legs and did 43 more.

Today is one of those days that I don’t really want to take a rest day but I’m going to since I’m really trying to be smart and hopefully avoid injuries!!!

I think I’ve mentioned before that I collect cook books.

I might have a few!  I actually use many of them.  I usually pick a couple of cookbooks every few weeks and pick out 12-15 different recipes I want to try while I’m making my grocery list.  Other than a few family favorites, I rarely make the exact same dish more than once.

However, awhile back I made a pulled pork and slaw dish that all 3 of the boys loved!!  I decided to make it today so yesterday I spent close to 2 hours trying to find the recipe – I have no idea which book it was in!!  Seriously?!  I think there should be an App that I can use to track the recipes I’ve made – how hard can it be?

Oh, well – I’m trying out another new recipe today.  We are still having pulled pork and slaw but with brand new recipes!!!  Hopefully it is still a family hit!!

Anyone else have problems finding recipes when you want to remake a dish?  Do you experiment in the kitchen or make the same things?

 

(I guess if that is as bad as it gets in the problem area this weekend then I can’t really complain!!)

Happy Sunday!
