SORE!!!

The one thing I forgot is not to be to over zealous when you first start to workout.
My legs and arms are sore! How about you?
I have to admit that even with being as sore as I am, I seem to have more energy.

But I should've remembered that. While study for Dietary Management you learn what foods give you energy and which foods make you tired and such. I think it is time to pull out the books again because that was a major brain freeze.

I thought I would research some other sites about diets and exercise just to see what is out there. The most important thing to remember is crash diets don't work.
Oh, for short term, maybe, but in the long run it is a lifestyle change that is needed in order to keep the weight off. Alot of diets are about don't eat this don't eat that, but the truth is you can eat whatever you want to, but in moderation.
I used to belong to Weight Watchers and I did very well with it and have been playing with the idea of joining up again. The plan was so simple and I was never hungry, I got to eat all my favorite foods and got to visit with other people with my problem and got some real good advice and recipes.

Speaking of Recipes I have one that I thought you might like. It is lowfat, but it doesn't taste low fat. Here it is:

From a Richard Simmons Cook Book
Swanky Flanky Steak

Marinade
1 can (14 1/2 oz) beef broth
1/3 c each balsamic vinegar and
reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 TBLS Dijon-style mustard with horseradish
1 TBLS Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp each dried oregano, dried thyme and dried sage
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 lb flank steak

1. Marinade: Combine all marinade ingredients in a
sealable plastic food-storage bag. Seal and
shake to mix.
Place steak in bag. Shake and mix.
Place in refrigerator and let
marinate 1 to 8 hours

2. Preheat broiler. Lift meat from marinade.
Discard marinade. Place meat on broiler-pan rack.

3. Broil steak, 5 to 6 inches from heat source,
about 3 min. per side for rare, or 4 min.
per side for medium.

4. Remove meat to cutting board. Let stand
10 minutes. Thinly slice across grain
on a diagonal.

I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as I do. I like to serve it
with white rice and broccoli.

Have a good day :)
