Big Cooking Streak

I have been on a big cooking streak lately. These days there is such great payoff from cooking because you can easily find and use recipes that hundreds of people have tried, rated and commented on.

Tonight I am making Chicken Tikka Masala, Naan, and Mango Lassis. I am taking some of the reviewers tips and putting them in this google doc so I remember them.

Stuff I'm learning:

• While looking up how to knead the Naan I found this nice vid that gives a science-y explanation for kneading near the end.
• I learned on wiki that the term proofing has 2 definitions. There is the "home cookbook" definition and the professional bakers definition.

Project back on track- Decreasing %body fat

For the past couple weeks I have been getting up at 6am and walking/jogging/sprinting along the Augusta Riverwalk. [dawn,dawn+2hrs] is the only time interval that is good for a nice cool walk.

Part of my motivation stems from my vibram 5 fingers shoes, which I am really enjoying the feel of. This is the video that piqued my curiosity about barefoot running. My legs and feet have had to adjust though. After a 2 mile jog +7 mile hike I experienced some pain on the top of my feet. I believe that my extensor tendons were inflamed a little. This happens to people who are switching to forefoot running. So I am taking it easy and just walking in the mornings so I can do my best with the FATS trail running group on Sunday. My goal is to do 2-4miles. I love trail running, the ground gives way nicely and I am out in nature.

Today plan to do a p90x biceps and back workout. I am waiting to adjust my calories till my body adjusts to this new level of exercise. I am taking almost daily video of my figure, but I am going to put off posting the "before pics" till I have some decent "after pics". Here is my weight log.
