Day #9....Ahhhh, Sunday afternoon was filled with food, family and March Madness. I decided to grill out for the second straight day to take advantage of the beautiful weather and the extra time I had around the house. I must admit that I was inspired by the wonderful meal my family and I enjoyed with our friends on Friday night. Just standing on the back deck, watching the kids play and using my charcoal grill/smoker made for a wonderful day!

Wrap Up: Using the leftover chicken and veggies made for a nice and fulfilling lunch and helped keep the refrigerator from collecting unused containers of food. The Smoked Salmon recipe came from the package of Cedar Planks I used and was very tasty. I really enjoyed the workout and was proud of how much I did on the Arc Trainer...my first experience with the machine lasted about 8 mins. and was less than exciting. Seeing not only improvements in my weight (still keeping the total loss a secret until the end of my 21 days), but also in my stamina at the gym continues to be an exciting motivator. Getting close to the halfway point and I feel like I might be hitting my stride!
