View MORTINI's food & exercise for this day

too much sun yesterday. i was going to go to the park this afternoon and walk around a bit, but earlier when I was walking outside to get some stuff, it just hurt. I took some ibuprofin, which seems to be helping a bit. And sanding and re-oiling my island countertop. Not exactly the best way to spend the day when it's a really great day out, but, I'll survive.

Yesterday, I went & ran, and came home, and showered afterward to cool down a bit. Then a few hours later, I went to the park for an hour or so and laid in the sun and walked around. Problem is, I got sunburned from the run, but didn't realize it, so I didn't get to treat the sunburn. I put vinegar on sunburns - it helps get rid of the pain and stops it from peeling. But, I did for the second burn. Kind of annoyed with myself for not doing this the first time.

I made braised monkfish with tomatoes and basil last night. It wasn't much of a braise - you can't really cook fish for all that long. But it was really tasty. It used fennel, which is the first time I've cooked with that. I have another head that I think I'm going to just sautee tonight in some butter. Next time I make it, I need to use the cherry tomatoes like the recipe calls for instead of whole tomatoes. It'd probably end up looking better than it did. Oh well.

I'm on to the 'rest' week for p90x, which will be nice. I started off doing 'Core Synergistics' last night, which is a bunch of exercises that work your core. Since it was the first time for the workout, I mostly just worked to follow along with the exercises - not really pushing it any. I'm pretty sore from just doing that.

Bah, I accidentally deleted your comment. For some reason my tired mind thought - clicking box means - reply - but it didn't do that. :) It's been a long week! Ok so rest week isn't really resting - rest week isn't such a fair name for it then! I would have been surprised if P90X gave you a whole week actually OFF.

Fennel is great - especially when making hot italian sausage sandwiches... not the most healthy thing probably lol. It tastes a bit like black licorice to me. Glad to hear P90 is doing well. You get a whole week of rest? nice....
