The Holiday Poundage

Man is it hard to not put on weight during the holidays.

Steph made all kinds of great food this past week and I stuffed myself. I think the best thing she made was this Sweet Potato Casserole thing that was delicious. It had so much sugar in it, but it was sooooooo good.

I don't know if your spouses are good cooks, but my wife is a great cook. But, she likes to experiment and sometimes I don't like the experimentation. For example, I like my brownies with nothing on them. Steph, however, likes to put things like crushed up candy canes on the top of them. So, usually, every holiday I end up eating something that combines two things that I've never eaten before. This year, Steph made sauerbraten that had Ginger Snaps as part of the sauce. Mmmmm....mmmmmm......

I ran twice last week. 2 miles each run. Not much, but my achilles is starting to get better. I can't wait to get back to running. This week is lifting, swimming, and elliptical. I'll probably get a run or two in as well.

Woot!
