My ddad would eat Pork and Beans every day if it were up to him. If I serve something that is not his favorite, he will ask to have Pork and Beans at the next meal, every time! And, since he is now 93+ and still walking a half-mile every day, they must do a body good.
On Dr Oz, he mentioned Roman beans, which is a new one to me, but he says it has something like 3 times the protein of others.
Dd says she wants to do the new videos through the summer and see if she can tone up a little. She is going through hormonal change, of course, at almost 13, and realizing she needs to keep up exercise if she doesn't want to gain inches too fast. It will be so hot outside and insects are already in the way of some outdoor fun, with mosquitoes around the corner, so her bike is not always going to be a good idea this summer. The "dancy" videos are right up her alley. I've just told her no high-impact, no jumping, even if it is on the video - we are in a house, not a concrete-floored gym.
I figure if I can get this quilt project finished and start a video a day, even for just 15 mins, I will look much better at the baby shower for ddil, when I will be seeing all of my late dh's family, some of whom can be competitive and a little judgmental.
