"Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work." – Ralph Marston

Today is one of my two (the other is Friday) rest days this week. I usually feel lazy when I have a rest day, but today I am very happy to take it easy. I am so sore from the past two days of hard workouts that my body needs a day off.

Tomorrow of course, it is back to work!

Breakfast (unpictured because it was lame) was an apple with honey. No excuses, right? Ok, I'm sorry, from now on no more unpictured breakfasts.

Lunch was a banana and peanut butter sandwich on toasted Arnold's whole wheat bread.

I am going to jump on the bandwagon today. Click here to ask me anything. It is anonymous and I will respond to your questions on my blog. You can also let me know anything you would like to see on the blog. I am new to this, so your suggestions are always welcome!

I originally had planned to make something quick and painless for dinner, but going along with my Let's Get Cooking initiative, I decided to make Pomodoro Pasta.

I pulled the recipe from The Essential Pasta Cookbook, and altered it slightly.

Ingredients:
-1 lbs whole wheat pasta
-11/2 tablespoons olive oil
-1/2 onion, very finely chopped
-2 13 oz cans of Italian tomatoes
-1/4 cup fresh basil

1. Cook the pasta and return to pan to keep warm.
2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and cook over medium heat until softened.
3. Stir in the tomato and simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Stir in basil and cook for another minute.
6. Pour sauce over pasta and gently toss.
7. Add Parmesan if desired.

Off to watch some basketball and get ahead on some laundry. Have you noticed that I hate doing laundry and put it off as long as possible? J

Coming soon: New product review coming later tonight.
