Light and Lean: Low Calorie Steak Stacks

?

I am posting from a very beautiful and sunny Cape Town today!? You Capetonians are just so very lucky as your evenings are lovely and cool offering one a welcome respite from hot days!? So far, my days have been spent sorting out Daniele?s flat.? My goodness, six black bags of old clothes and counting!? We have been working out in the gym EVERY morning and feeling rather proud of ourselves.? Meals have been light and lean and I have only exceeded my daily Calorie allowance once, by a tiny margin.? Mexican food is lethal, and I paid for my indulgence with buckets of sweat ???..

Today?s post is a steak stack.? It?s really important to vary your diet when trying to lose kilo?s as it prevents your body from getting into a routine.? Our bodies are really clever; cut out carbs completely and eventually your body will munch away on your muscle in order to feed itself, so variety and a balanced diet, not excluding any food group (except chocolate) is vital.

I haven?t weighed myself in Cape Town and I don?t intend doing so!? I can?t take the chance that the scale at Virgin Active here is not the same as my scale at home in Durban!? What if it tells me I have put on weight!? Na-ahhhhhh ???. Not taking any chances!

I am really beginning to enjoy going to the gym and have started to up the resistance levels on all three machines.? I cycle, row and walk on the treadmill.? I am currently doing 20 minutes on the treadmill and bicycle and 10 minutes on that infernal rowing machine.? Apart from the obvious fitness that this is giving me, I get extra calories for each activity!? There is method to my madness!? I get 287 calories for the treadmill, 223 calories for the bicycle and 111 calories for the rowing; add this to my 1738 calories for the day and BINGO I have a total of 2259 calories a day.? I am sticking to the 1738 so I hope to reach my target earlier!

We were invited to lunch last Sunday at the iconic Brass Bell in Vis Hoek!? This gave me an opportunity to have a look around the book shops in Kalk Bay and I struck gold!? As I entered the shop, ding a little bell on the door peeled a little happy ?welcome jingle? and my mind flushed with excitement and anticipation.? The promise of all that information standing to attention in each and every book just waiting to be read never fails to quicken my pulse.? A deep breath to drink in the smell of a thousand years and I was off.

The shop keeper or perhaps one should call him a ?librarian? could have jumped straight off the pages of a Dickensian novel.? Kind eyes with gold frames, kind face sitting on a bow tie plinth; he led me to the cookery book section with an apology that most of their cookery books were at a market in Kirstenbosch that day.? Such information never deters me as I always believe that fate will provide; and provide she did.

I will go for most antique cookery books if they pique my interest, but one that has a South African reference I simply cannot resist.? To find two of Hildagonda Duckitt?s books in one fell swoop rivals Napoleon?s victory at Waterloo in my world.? I am not going to expand on the life and times of one of South Africa?s first kitchen doyenne today.? This lady is worthy of an entire week of blog posts if not more and at the very least a visit to Groote Poste, the beloved homestead where she spent her formative years in South Africa.

Ok ? so I am not in Cape Town anymore so I am actually posting this from my study in Durban.?? I flew back to Durban early as I couldn?t get accommodation in any timeshare spots for the week during which our flat was to be decorated.? So I ran back home to be with TrickyRicky on Valentines Day, who drove all the way home to Durban from a business trip to Mozambique, walked through the door and collapsed in an exhausted heap!? Oh well!? Poor Daniele will have to live in the flat during the renovations, moving into the lounge for a week while they sort his bedroom out and then moving into his bedroom while they sort the loung out!

C?est la vie!

BUT ? drum roll please!? I lost 2kg?s during my stay in Cape Town ?. I think I left them at Virgin Active in Sea Point!

Yeeeeeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Light & Lean Steak Stacks

I found one of these stacks with a cup of steamed broccoli and butternut enough for me for a dinner.? TrickyRicky had two and was happy.

Ingredients

1 x 150g fillet medallions (251 calories)

Large mushrooms approx. 60g each (15 calories)

Large red onions halved (50 calories per half)

Large beef tomatoes (17 calories per half)

30ml olive oil (240 calories)

2tsp finely chopped garlic (8 calories)

Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper

10ml dried oregano

1 sprig of fresh rosemary

Method

Preheat your oven to 180degrees.

Peel the onions and cut in half; wash the tomatoes and cut in half.? Place the onion and tomato halves on a baking tray.? Spray with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper and top with garlic and a sprinkle of oregano on the tomatoes and a few leaves of rosemary on top of the onion.? Roast for 30 ? 40 minutes at 180d.

Dust off the mushrooms and remove the woody stalk from the centre of each mushroom, place on a baking tray and season well with salt and pepper.? Sprinkle each mushroom with some chopped garlic and a tiny little drizzle of olive oil or a spritz of olive oil.? I have an olive oil in a spray bottle ? which is totally fantastic as it allows you to just spritz the mushrooms with olive oil which saves on carbs!

Place into the oven and bake for 10 ? 15 minutes.? Don?t cook the living bijeevers out of your mushrooms.? Ten minutes is enough time to cook the garlic but still have juicy mushrooms.? Remove from the oven and set aside.

Pat your pieces of beef fillet dry with some paper towel, rub or spray a little olive oil on both sides of each piece.

Heat your griller pan to smoking hot and place your steaks in the pan.? Fillet should only be turned once in the pan, as soon as the meat lets go of the pan turn it over.? I like my steak rare so once the other side has sealed and let go of the pan I remove it and let it rest, TrickyRicky likes his steak medium rare, so I let his cook for another 2 ? 3 minutes.? ALWAYS allow your meat to rest before eating it.? Resting meat allows the juices to even out in the steak and the fibres relax resulting in a nice tender piece of meat.

I served these stacks with 150g of steamed broccoli dressed with a squeeze of lemon juice and seasoned with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.? (44 calories)

My dinner ? one mushroom & tomato Stack 325 calories + 1 cup brocolli 44 calories = 369 calories

TrickyRicky?s dinner ? one mushroom & tomato stack 325 calories + one mushroom & onion stack 356 calories + 1 cup brocolli = 769 calories

Prepare for the SAT or ACT with these Android apps

As I finish my coverage of educational apps for Android devices, today?s post is specifically for high schoolers preparing on taking the SAT or ACT exams. When taking these exams, practice is important. There are a large number of practice-related apps on the market and some cost quite a bit. I would recommend trying the free options available before investing in any of the expensive apps.

This is one of at least four different apps from Ivy Standard, a test preparation site. The other apps they have cover math, English, and writing. This is a free version of the app, but you can purchase the full version, which has over 150 more words and removes ads.

Vocabulary is very important in studying for the SAT. This app shows you a word and provides four possible answers to its definition. It is just you and the vocab term, so no timer or fancy graphics. The app keeps track of your streak (good or bad), and displays tips and tricks, such as providing info on the root meaning of words. Overall, this is a very helpful vocabulary app.

This app is designed to help students improve problem-solving skill by focusing on logical reasoning. It is a free app supported with ads. There is a paid version of the app, which appears costs $2.99 and removes all in-app ads. The app has 10 categories of questions you can choose from: Number Series, Essential Part, Matching Definitions, Logical Problems, Statement and Assumption, Theme Detection, Letter and Symbol Series, Analogies, Making Judgments, and Logical Games.

When you start the app you can decide how many categories you want to work on. When you begin you will have a question to read and then four answers from which to choose. The app does not allow you to choose an answer so when you figure it out, hit the show answer button and see how it compares to yours. In addition to the answer, there is a short explanation. The app will also allow you to share the question with friends.

This app takes a different approach to helping students learn vocabulary. Instead of trying to cram, this app is designed to work on one word a day over a lengthier period of time. This is a free app that is supported by a small banner ad, and I couldn?t find any way to remove the ads. The app has some nice features, and I would recommend using them to get the maximum benefit. You can set up the app to give you notifications of the arrival of new words and the daily word. Another neat option is that you can have the app pronounce the word to you.

Opening the app, you will be presented with the word, its definition, and an audio button. Confident students can easily hide and then guess the definition. You can favorite any word and then access it along with your other favorites from the bottom menu button. In addition to the daily word, you can find a random word(s). A fun feature of the app is that you can share the word as a challenge to your friends.

As with the previous app, this app is set up to do a little bit of work each day. This is the free version of the app which has over 5000 SAT vocabulary words and over 150 SAT math problems. The pro version has over 7000 SAT words, over 250 SAT math problems, and over 250 SAT Sentence Completion Problems.

When you open the app, you see three types of questions. For vocabulary questions, you will need to choose the correct definition and for math problems, choose the correct solution. For the SAT question, you will need to complete the sentence with the correct word. There is an explanation to the answer if needed. The app is set up for daily testing, but you can also pull up the last five days of questions. You can also pull up a random word or math problem, too.

Preparing for the SAT or ACT is very important for those students hoping to attend a good college. These apps should help those students with math, vocabulary, and general logic problems.

Control Your Own Level of Motivation ? Online Preschool Forum

<p>When I first mention this to mostburberry outlet people, they really don't burberry outletget it, so here is a simple formulaburberry outlet online for keeping your moods upbeat.
Audio books and music can be used as tools for motivation. The audio book is such a great motivational and learning tool, while you are commuting, or just out for a drive by yourself. I mention "by yourself" because, ideally, you should spend quality time with people in your car.
You can learn so much about life and a self-improvement audio book can keep you motivated all day long.
When I first started listening to audio books it was during commuter traffic through Providence and Boston. I would show up to meetings relaxed, with fresh ideas, and motivated. When people asked me the secret, I told them about the magic of audio books.
Most of them never asked me again, thought I was some strange eternal optimist, and never bothered to try an audio book.
Unfortunately, many people are slaves to stress, and don't want to change anything. They go about their lives with a perfect recipe for a heart attack and high blood pressure.
Here is the ultimate recipe for a very sad and short life. You must combine "running late" to work, high volume traffic, the daily latte, a high stress job, and show up barely on time or late.
Some people are, what I call, "mad at the world." They drive from one intersection to the next, making gestures at everyone. Some of these people can be helped, while others go through a daily cycle of frustration and even invite violence.
Now, let's get back to you. As long as you stay aware, you have control over your motivation, moods, and level of optimism. So, take charge by plugging yourself into positive energy with books, audio books, music, and positive people.</p>

Israeli military condemns soldier who photographed child in sniper's crosshairs

?

The Israeli Defense Forces condemned an Israeli soldier who posted an Instagram photo that is allegedly of a Palestinian boy in the crosshairs of a sniper rifle. Criticism raged on the Internet, especially on websites favorable to the Palestinian cause and the Electronic Intifada. ?The Israeli soldier, declared the IDF, performed in a manner that "are not in accordance with the spirit of the IDF or its values," according to the Israeli army. The IDF has since deleted his Instagram account. The soldier?s commanding officers are aware of the incident and an investigation is underway.

?

"This is what occupation looks like," declared representatives of Breaking the Silence, a group of Israeli combat veterans that hope to raise consciousness about life in Israeli territories. According to the group?s Facebook page, "This is what military control over a civilian population looks like." Breaking the Silence says that the photo reveals that little has changed in the decade since a similar photograph taken by a soldier was displayed in the organization's first public exhibit in 2003.

?

"There, too, an Israeli soldier aimed a weapon at a boy and took a picture with his camera as a memento, a gesture of an endless feeling of power that is connected to control over another people," according to the Breaking the Silence Facebook page. "Ten years have passed. The devices and the applications have changed; the ways in which pictures are shared has changed. The feeling of excessive power and the clear contempt for human life and human dignity have remained."

?

In a separate incident, another soldier who had taken a photo of himself next to cuffed and blindfolded Palestinian detainee and posted it to Facebook, was recently sentenced to 14 days in a military prison. ?The offending photo was removed from Facebook.?

NFL analyst: 'Jason Garrett is in a fight to retain control in the locker room'

NFl.com writer Albert Breer joined Elf & Slater on 105.3 The Fan. Here are some highlights:

On Jason Garrett?s press conference:

?I kind of knew what the central question would be. Is this Jason Garrett?s show or is this Jerry Jones? show? I think again this shows you that it?s Jerry?s show and it still is. I think that puts Jason Garrett in a little bit of a difficult situation. Who is really hiring these coaches? I think Jason Garrett tried to establish over the course of the press conference that he had existing relationships with all the guys that had been on (Jon) Gruden?s staff in Tampa because that was another question there.?

On what can be taken away from the press conference:

?I think another thing you can clearly take from it, which is too bad, it?s clear that Jason is hearing the criticism. You?d really hope that he can block out that noise while he?s going to work. But it?s clear he?s aware of where the criticism has been of some of the skepticism of how these hires happened and some of the questions that have arisen on how much control he has over the organization and how much control he has going forward and that?s going to be an interesting subject to follow. As we all know, your authority over your team often rests on perception. Do the players see you as a leader? Do they think they can go around you? That?s a battle Jason Garrett is going to have to fight going forward the same way it was with Wade Phillips at the end of his tenure. It?s clear now, Jason Garrett is in a fight to retain control in the locker room and keep guys headed on the path he?s trying to lead for them.?
