I've been working in east Texas for the past two weeks. I did a little research and discovered that there is no Crossfit close to where I am staying, and by close I mean closer than two hours away. Lucky for me, one of my favorite trainers at CFDC was generous enough with his time to send me a list of bodyweight exercises and even pick out a few for me to do while I was away.
It's been a little tough. Working out alone is boring. Last week my room was pretty big so I was able to jump rope, this week I hit a wall, bed or light fixture every time I swing.
Needless to say I think my workouts have lacked some intensity over these two weeks. Tomorrow I will be back in Dallas and return to Crossfit until I go back out of town next week. Needless to say I am a little nervous. . .we'll see how this goes.

Cooking Light
I am not a regular reader of Cooking Light, but occasionally I will pick it up. This month I am very glad I did.
There is a great section on quick weeknight meals. So far I've made the Hoisin Steak and the Mediterranean Burgers, both fantastic recipes. The burgers call for turkey, we also tried them with beef but I preferred the turkey. Along with the steak came wonton chips. They made a great side and also make a great snack. Since you bake them with just a brushing of semsame oil, they are healthier than regular chips too.
