My Husband, the Grill Master

We had date night last night and it was fun.  We took the boys to my mom's and spent some time talking with her and my stepdad.  We only live 40 miles away, but we don't have a chance to spend much time together, so it was nice.  After that, we went to dinner and ate too much and probably drank too much (I had a very tasty margarita and several beers through the night - not all at dinner though, it was a long night, so they were pretty spread out) and then we spent time with my mother in law.  I don't know if I've ever mentioned it, but I love my in law is.  I am very lucky to have great in laws.  They remind me a lot of my own parents, which is why we get along so well.

When we got home, it was after midnight and I was ready for bed.  I woke up at 6:30am with a slight headache.  Usually that means you had a good night, right?  LOL  Well, maybe not, but I definitely had a great night.  I didn't run today because of my headache and because it was really hot already when I got up.  Today was just a pretty blah day.  For some reason, I thought it was Sunday and was just unmotivated all day.  I got some tidying up around the house done, along with some grocery shopping, but that was about it.  We mostly just sat around watching Stephen King movies all day.  I love days like that.  :)

I bought some portabello mushrooms the other day because I've been getting pretty burned out on chicken lately.  I don't eat a lot of red meat and I wanted an alternative to chicken, especially when we grill.  We decided to grill tonight, so Preston and I each took a mushroom cap and the toppings of my choice (avocado, mozzarella cheese, onion and tomato) and created my meal.  Preston is a master when it comes to food.  He can make something from almost nothing.  It's amazing.  I'm not really sure why I cook all the time when he's so much better at it.  ;)  Anyway, using the same ingredients but apparently a different method, we made my mushroom caps and put them on the grill.  When they were done and we were sitting down to eat, I cut a slice of his cap first and tried it.  It was so juicy and tasty.  Then I tried mine - I'm not sure what I did wrong but it was dry and tough.  :/  So I ate all of the cap he made and tried to eat the rest of the one I made, but I was stuffed and it wasn't very good.  I really wish I'd taken a picture, because it was tasty and beautiful.  :)

I did the arm exercises from Pinterest again today and they seemed a lot easier.  I still felt the burn, but not as soon as before.  Preston said that he noticed my arms getting more toned (actually, his words were something like "You're definitely getting some guns."  Men.  LOL) but I'm not sure if it's from this workout or from running the last 6 months or what.  Regardless, I'm glad they're becoming noticeable.  I've got that embarrassing "bat wing" thing going on that I don't think will ever completely disappear, but the more I can tighten the area, the better.  :)
