Today was a Body Sculpt class day, and either I am getting stronger or the weights are getting lighter. I’m starting to feel like I’m getting some strength back. Of course I’ve only been back in class for three weeks. I just hope I can keep with it. With the way my kids have been sniffling lately, I may soon miss a class. I’m hoping it’s just allergies, but just in case, I’ve decided to load us all up on Vitamin C.
Tonight for dinner: Chicken Paprikash over egg noodles and the
recipe is courtesy of
Eating Well magazine.
I hope the kids like it, because I’ve read paprika is high in Vitamin C, as are the tomatoes, and I think they could use the boost to their immune systems. Paprika also contains a small amount of
capsaicin, which is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that may help lower the risk of cancer. For good measure, I also added a little bit of chili pepper just to up the cancer fighting and anti-inflammatory properties.
Another interesting fact: Capsaicin is banned in
equine sports (for the horses) because of its pain relieving properties. So, if it can help a horse’s body, then a little has got to go a long way in a runner’s body. Right?
