Snarl.
Ok, so the bad luck continues. I got denied health insurance. Yeah. I know. Denied. Me. I mean- shit- I'm healthier than about 95% of the country- I'm fit, I eat right, I haven't needed to see a doctor of any kind in the last 2 years.... I couldn't believe it! Well, I guess I can. They denied me because of the whole "Chron's disease" thing. I have a letter saying its more compatible with non-specific ilietis, but the insurance company doesn't care. What I may do is try to get a rider on the policy so that they would cover everything except chrons-related stuff. We'll see.
So there's that.
In other news, Jessica and I have really gotten into cooking. I mean- really. I've never been a big fish-lover, but over the last 2 months, we've had salmon at least once a week, if not more. We've done jamacain jerk salmon, lemon-herb, plain salmon with a mustard dill sauce... its sooooooo goood. We've started doing sauteed mushrooms, and grilled seasoned potatoes.... mmmmmmm. This week we are going to go hog-wild in the kitchen. We're going to try new things every day- going to carmelize some onions in a skillet and add it to some steak.... I'd like to roast some peppers- so that the inside gets really soft, and you peel it from the skin..... seriously- yummy. Oh, and this past week, I invented a new dessert- smorecakes. Make a grahem cracker crust, but instead of putting it in a piecrust form, you pack the crust into cupcake tins. Then bake those, then broil marshmallows on them for a few minutes, then top with melted chocolate and serve. YUM. But they come out a little crumbly. This week Jess and I are making a carrot cake too. :) These desserts that we make (and the ice cream that I keep in the freezer) are my only real sources of fat each day. When I work, I have a banana, 2 apples, and yogurt for breakfast, maybe a protein bar for a mid-morning snack, peanut butter/jelly sandwhich, veggies, fruit, a little colby jack cheese for lunch, and then dinners are pretty low-fat.
And Anne has inspired me to start working out again. Hearing about her success in the gym has gotten me back into working out. I'm just doing weightlifting and abs. I get all the aerobics I need biking to and from work each day. I've already worked out 3 days this past week, and that was just to get my body used to it again. Now it will be time to hit it hard daily.
Alright! Thats it!
