Today's path to wellness was paved with obstacles, but nothing I couldn't overcome. I woke up with my early alarm only to have a headache (or more precisely some neuralgia from the cancer and surgery). I wanted to get through the pain so that I could still have a productive day ahead of me.
Later this afternoon Maunie and I were able to dance again, keeping with our routine. We made it an hour! I was so proud of myself being able to enjoy making my muscles wake up with every dance we did. The funny thing I thought of while I was dancing was some of the meanings of the songs. I really do love all of the "ethnic" songs on Just Dance 4. The Ketchup Song and Beware of the Boys are two of the most amazing songs. I love getting lost in the music with those two especially. But when it comes to some other songs, I wonder how some of these artists make their millions. Like why on earth is Super Bass considered 'talent' or these boy bands all over the place. Music these days is nothing like Sinatra or even Aguilera. If anyone is interested in what I find to be talented, my favorite talents are that of Cold Play or Enya. They make me go to a place where I can escape, relax, or breath more deeply. This most definitely helps me with my mental progress which benefits my overall wellness.
Lunchtime consisted of some healthy left overs, but for dinner I made homemade Hibachi Chicken. I cubed chicken for what felt like an eternity, stuck some in the freezer, and put enough for me and my lover in the skillet with some EVOO. On high, because the key of Hibachi is to keep the pan very hot. Like Ian Somerhalder hot, if that is even possible. If you notice the little Hibachi cooks they go so fast so that the meat cooks evenly and still stays tender. Having all of your ingredients ready is also something that helps make it easier so there is no risk for overcooking. The recipe I used is right off of Pinterest. If you are a girlfriend, wife, fiance, future lover, boyfriend, sister, mother, or dementor you have a Pinterest. Just follow the healthiest recipe you can find and you will end up with some delicious healthy Hibachi to impress. The more vegetables the better; some of my favorite are zucchini, onion, grated carrot...did I mention zucchini? I also made a homemade healthy version of yum-yum sauce. Light mayo, cayenne pepper, sugar, tomato paste, and melted butter - the secret is to let it sit overnight in the fridge for the ingredients to marinade. However, I was impatient and wanted to enjoy my fresh Hibachi, so I decided to put some yum-yum on the side to have with my meal. I'm sure it really is much better when you wish it together and let it sit overnight. But it was pretty good nonetheless. I hope to get an approval from the Mr. when he gets home from work.
Even though today was a bit hectic, I still was able to work out for an hour, cook a health dinner, and enjoy some of my favorite things. I guess what is important in life is that every day you do at least one thing that makes you smile. Smiling heals all wounds.
