Diner Breakfast

This morning’s breakfast tasted like it was straight out of a diner!

I think it was the breakfast potatoes. I’ve made hash browns before, but I used a package of shredded, frozen potatoes. This was my first attempt at real breakfast potatoes and they were pretty darn easy to make.

I used some of the peeled, chopped potatoes that I had leftover from last week’s shepherd pie and sautéed them with diced onion in a bit of olive oil, seasoned with garlic salt.

Two fried eggs and a honey wheat English muffin rounded out the meal.

Workout

Today’s breakfast was the perfect post-workout fuel.

I worked up quite an appetite at the gym. Once again I set out to conquer 100 squats in a row and powered through until I finished the very last rep.

I loaded up a 45-pound bar with 30 pounds of weight and was nice and sweaty by the end.

I like having mini strength-training goals to work towards. I am not really a big-time goal setter in the gym (I blame it on my lack of competitive drive), but it is a great feeling to reach mini milestones. For some reason I have it in the back of my head that I’d like to be able to do 100 squats in a row at 100 pounds. I know that will take a lot of time and work to build up to that weight, but it’s something to strive for in the future.

Today’s leg workout included the following exercises:

• 100 squats
• Deadlifts
• Lunges
• Step ups
• Hamstring curls
• One-legged leg press
• Split squat with exercise ball

The Return of Blog Talk Tuesdays

I took two weeks off from Blog Talk Tuesdays but plan to post one tomorrow. To be honest, I’ve been putting off some of the later topics because I feel like they’re more intense and involved and I want them to be very thorough, so if you have any questions you’d like to see addressed, please feel free to ask away.

Here are the remaining topics I have on my list to cover:

• Blog readership
• Blogging organization
• Blogging and money
• Freelancing

If I’m leaving out a topic that you’d like to see featured, just let me know!
