A Recipe...And a Confession

I feel like it is time to come clean.  I have completely failed at the Stink Eye Challenge this week.  I haven't worked out once, save mowing the yard.  My work schedule changed and I have been staying up too late.  Both excuses.  Neither is really a valid reason for not getting my ass up on time and working out.  You know what else isn't okay?  Deciding that since I have been honest about it, it's okay.  Complacency won't cut the mustard.  Or get me to my goals.

I'm STILL hovering just over 220- I need to conquer that beast and move on!

Another goal I have is to some day wear a bikini.  My body will never be perfect, and I am just fine with that.  I just want to be comfortable enough in my own skin to show it off.  I am a little embarrassed to admit that I have been watching Real Housewives this week...but I am dying over the bikini and sarong that Gretchen wore.  (I could not find a decent pic of it.)

Tuesday night I threw quick meal together that I thought was awesome!  I'm calling it Pizza Squash.  You need:

A Yellow Summer Squash
A Zuccinni Squash
1/2 of a Spaghetti Squash
3-5 Mushrooms
Turkey Pepperonni
Your favorite Spaghetti or Pizza sauce

Take your 1/2 spaghetti squash and put cut side down in a microwave friendly dish with about 1/2 C of water.  Microwave for 12 minutes.  Meanwhile, slice remaining squash and mushrooms.  Put in a skillet with a couple of table spoons of water on high.  Put a lid on it.  You are aiming for a kind of steamed-sautee if you will.  Stir occasionally until you reach desired doneness. Add between 1/2-1 C of Spaghetti sauce.  You want just enough to coat everything and bind it together.  Add pepperonni and heat everything through.  Scoop out spaghetti squash and serve sauce mixture on top.  I also microplaned some parmesan on top of mine.
