Fat Chef gets Fit Day 5

Update for June 18th 2006

I hope everyone had a nice fathers day.  I had a nice one, I got a new wallet, from one of my sons, and a big hug from the youngest.  And lots of hugs from my grandson.  My wife gave me a chocolate heart for fathers day.  It was a nice thought, and since I know she didn’t have much money to spend I do appreciate that she got me something at all.  I got to sleep in late today which was nice.  I surfed the internet for a while in the morning while my wife was at church.  But since it was a warm morning I decided to go watch some TV in the living room.  I went to see if there was anything in the fridge, and I found a bit of jicama salad left over from Saturday.   I watched TV for about an hour, but decided I was still hungry, so decided to make another salad.  Since I dropped the avocado and it was all mushy, I decided to make an avocado dressing.  I chopped up some chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, garlic, and added some leftover grilled tomatoes, from the night before.  (My wife grilled the tomatoes for making salsa on Saturday.)  To the avocado/chipotle mix, I added a bit of milk to thin it out.  In the afternoon my wife dragged me shopping at several stores, since we live in Tijuana, we crossed into San Diego to go shopping.  After shopping, we went to eat Pho at a restaurant in Chula Vista.  I did splurge a bit and had an iced espresso with sweetened condensed milk.  We got home a bit late, but sat around with the kids and watched a movie.  I did my exercises in the evening while it was cooler.  So as to not eat the whole chocolate heart myself, I broke up into pieces to share with everyone.  And my wife put me to work burning off a few more calories.
