I have realized a lot this past week and a half. First, I LOVE being home, keeping things clean, organized, and running whenever I want to! LOL! But I know I need to work!
Today was a rest day for running so I knocked out my 90 pushups, and decided I deserved to get my hair done! I haven’t had my hair professionally highlighted in nearly a year and a half, but was proud to say the stylist said I did a great job. Of course I didn’t splurge on a salon due to being frugal, but I was pleased with Cost Cutters today.
I was supposed to go consignment shopping today, yet the snow and icy road kept me close to home. I did however attain a new pair of khakis and 2 long sleeve shirts (is spring EVER coming?) from Ross. And yes, I eye-balled the workout gear like a crazy women, yet I refrained.
Tonight’s dinner was a simple baked parmesan served with garlic and mushroom red sauce over rice pasta. Our side dish was sautéed broccoli and cauliflower with garlic. YUM.
Quick, and easy…
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Butterfly two chicken breasts, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside
Next, mix 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of low fat olive oil mayo, and Italian seasoning together.
In a separate dish, pour in about a half cup of panko bread crumbs.
Slather your chicken with the parm/mayo mixture and coat in the panko bread crumbs.
Bake at 425 until done, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
I keep my sauce simply. We have the BEST local market that makes amazing marinara sauce, so I sauté garlic, onions, and mushrooms to add to the sauce. Simmer for 20 minutes, and you are GOLDEN.
Cook your rice pasta according to package directions, making sure you salt your boiling water, and serve with your favorite veggie!
I finished the night cleaning out my closet. I try to do this at least twice a year….great success, and I even located my Mickey Mouse socks… 🙂
So my 2 things this Tuesday are…
1. Be who you are, and be true…
2. If you aren’t able to love your career, love your life all that much more.
DO what you LOVE. Even if it’s outside of work. For me it’s family, fitness, friends, and so many things I have a passion for-like cooking, organizing, writing…
Yup…

Movin' it with Michelle 
I’m jealous of how organized your closet is. My husband always tells me my side of the closet looks like a tornado ripped through it. I’d never admit it to him, but he is right. Also, your hair looks amazing!!

I don’t even want to look at my closet. But eventually I need to get in there. I like your point #1. Being in the Army, I no longer love it, but I am thankful for all the people in my life I have met through it and the things that job has allowed me to do and attain.
