YB your in a city of intelligent people to understand the importance of making room for bikes.

a quick side note * am listening to a radio show that talks about soy, and how soy is being GMO'ed. So, buy and use only soy labeled as organic and/or non-genetically modified.

I use tofu and use the organic soy only, I don't want any other gene but the soybean in my tofu thank you very much.

Have a great Sunday evening everyone, Greco

LOL, I just had hummus, about half a bowl full..........

Geeze, I'm going to start pushing my green smoothies on the Pirates Greco, they are getting beat up again...7-0 top of second inning.

Walnuts are a nice protein and a good fat for your heart......

I used to drop a few into my oatmeal when I ate cooked food.

What time did your day start? I made it to the gym by 6:10....10 min later than I like too......I was ironing my clothes for work and became obsessed with a few wrinkles.......spray starch to the rescue. Then I fold everything very neatly and pack it in my panniers for my bicycle, so I can get dressed at work. I change clothes alot (with riding a bicycle almost every place I go).........I also have what I call the emergency clothes, for just in case....
it's just a plain short sleeve jersey (don't call it a T shirt) totally unwrinkleable clam diggers and a pair of shoes to go with it......it will work for most occasions, and it's just in case. Its inside a kayak wet bag, that way it never gets wet.

I dropped my pretty old, but perfect sized cooler today. I washed it out and had it hanging out on my second story deck and I went to get it and sort of hit it, and it bounced on the driveway....~SPLAT~. Bummer.

Sorry your day was Long. Thursdays are really long for me.

Greco · 06-20-2011, 06:24 PM

Hey YB,

Let's give some of that green smoothie to Lebron James too!

Yeah, the Pirates could use it...hope they can turn it around
soon

day was long because I worked all night then all day

fueled by green smoothie green juice then had a tasty dinner

off to bed soon

I admire that you ride to the gym I walk over mostly then
back home for a shower and dress for work except today no gym

Now tomorrow I must sweat, love to sweat running on the tread
or elliptical then 30 mins of weights 3x's a week (the weights)

sweat is great for the skin I flush a bit but my favorite part is
the sweat in the early morning gym is full of movement lovers

meaning its not too full but full of people that love themselves
enough to get there before work

working out in the morning is delicious.

Alright, think I'm getting carried away now

have a great evening, Greco (missing sweat tonight) smiling

Thanks for sending me the link! Love stuff like this.

I always have a mason jar of concentrated sun tea (green/decafe) baking on the deck. Tonight when I came home and poured myself my concentrated tea over too much ice....(that evens out the balance)
I thought....I may as well make my dinner too....so I dumped my beverage into the blender and added more ice. And another cup of the tea concentrate. Then I added a handful of spinach and blended it like crazy. Then I poured it, over ice and I squeezed some lemon and some lime into it. Delicious, and once again.....no kitchen mess.

Very refreshing. Green tea plus some . I took my vitamins
for the night. (womans ultra mega and b complex) I'm going to bed soon.

Hot and humid here today. Welcome summer!

Greco · 06-21-2011, 04:56 PM

YB,

Sounds great! no I'm not Tony the tiger smiling

Really sounds like something I will try green tea and lime Mmmm

Happy Summer!
