I rarely have pain when I swim–or walk. I think it was from using the elliptical on Thursday night. I haven’t experienced pain like that before…I hope it goes away soon. Maybe I just pushed it too hard with the resistance? When I got home from the fancy pool I had a package waiting for me from Amanda<\/a>! She sent me a care package of goodies from when she was living in Okinawa, Japan.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nPretty chopsticks, snacks, a pestle made of Japanese wood.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nSocks, more snacks, a very sweet note from Amanda.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nTea and a headband. I am super excited about trying the tea! Michael and I drink tons of iced tea and I think it will be a nice change from the Lipton’s….but wait! There’s more!<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nTwo new place mats. Which is perfect because I was just thinking I needed to buy a few more to switch out in my lightbox. It was so sweet of Amanda to send me so many goodies! She’s living in Germany now and I’ve been enjoying her posts about that. I would love to go to Germany…<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nDinner was simple, fast and delicious–just the way I like it. I prepped the asparagus and Michael grilled them in Grapeseed oil. I topped the asparagus with freshly grated Parmesan. The homemade turkey burgers are back, this time on sandwich thins (less calories and carbs than the regular buns I was eating).<\/p>\n
