I have been sore for a good 72 hours. My hamstrings are wound up so tight it hurts to sit on the toilet because the pressure of the seat feels like a roller. Yes, I have been rolling them out and stretching galore. Still sore though. We did Diane on Saturday. I guess she showed me whose boss!
I am proud of myself because I have gotten back onto a workout reggi. Though I am scaling pretty much everything to nurse my hip flexor issue I am still doing 3-4 days a week. Go me. Not so "go me" on the paleo challenge. I had a breakdown Sunday and ended up drinking some wine. And I ate a banana dipped in dark chocolate and coconut flakes. YIKES. I love to eat. So I still feel pudgy from this Sunday mishap. But in order to keep my sanity I HAD to drink that wine. I may or may not have drank the entire thing.
So this is why, reason #1 I was tired and wanted to take a nap day Sunday but that didn't happen. #2 I had to clean the house because it looked like a bomb went off. I guess I can't leave the house for more then 12 hours without coming home to a catastrophe. Dishes, dog toys, clothes and more. So luckily for Scott he was not home because I went all crazy white girl on this house. Took me about an hour. Swept, mopped, vacuumed, dishes, dusting, toilets, the whole 9 yards. #3 We had a BBQ to attend Sunday evening at 5:30, that time was coming FAST and I hadn't showered so kindly they let us move it to 6:30. I ran to Safeway to get some celery, bell pepper and chorizo. I was making a hash thing. I had forgotten the celery so let the people behind me cut it front so I could go grab the celery real quick. Bad idea. They were on the wick program and had to go return and exchange like 4 different items. I lost it. I actually said out loud to this chick " I guess I shouldn't have let you guys cut in front of me, this is definitely teaching me patience." She should/could have punched me in the face. So short story long I was there for at least 10-15 minutes. Every time I thought about going to a different line I thought, oh their probably almost done. Nope. So then its my turn and my stuff had gotten moved forward since it was ahead of them to begin with. Well some retard took it all back! So then I had to go and get all new groceries!! Christ. When I got home I was all emotional and stressed. It was redic.
So needless to say I made Scott stop on the way to the BBQ and get a bottle of wine cause I was a little on edge. The BBQ was super fun, we laughed, ate delicious food and were merry!
So these little nuggets are delicious and sooo simple! I make them a lot for Scott when I am in a hurry or not going to be around for dinner.
Mini Meatloaf Balls with Bacon
1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork (sweet or spicy, I usually do a little of both)
1 sweet yellow onion, finely chopped
1lb uncured bacon
1/4 cup almond meal
2 eggs
1 cup broccoli slaw
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350F
Time to get your meatloaf gut ingredients going. So take 1/2 of the 1lb of bacon and chop it up into bite size pieces. Put into a pan and begin to cook down. Once the fat has began to rise, add your chopped onions and broccoli slaw. While those ingredients cook together, get your ground beef and pork into a large bowl with all other ingredients. Get your hands out and start mixing and mushing that around.
Once the bacon is cooked through, the onions are slightly translucent, add them to the large bowl and incorporate that into mixture. I get out my cupcake pan and make a ball a little larger then a golf ball, but small then a lacrosse ball and put in pan. Once those are all done take the remaining bacon and slice into a couple inch slices. Place over the top of the mini balls and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Enjoy!!
