dave's got the mower up on blocks. just another night in the neer household...

had a good workout at home tonight - ran 6 min/walked 14 min, then followed that up w/ 3 sets of 15 bicep curls, rows, and 2 sets of stability ball crunches, reverse crunches, sb push ups, followed by 1 30 sec plank and 15 squats (didn't do so many of these as my legs are still sore from sat)

we also had a good dinner - a weight watchers recipe off their website. very delicious. highly recommend. (i modified it slightly cuz i didn't have all the ingredients, and i served it with veggies and some pasta)

here's the recipe - let me know if any of you try it :) dave even said i could add it to "the big four" (things i fix most often...)
