Today we got back to the grind. Tom shoveled snow all day at work, so he didn't "work out" but I think the shoveling definitely was a workout for him. He had been eyeing this recipe for a while, so I rewarded his hard day at work with this for dinner. It was definitely tasty! Before last week, we both had moved up from light to moderate workouts. I did a 30 minute "moderate" workout with Bob. The lunges are killing my knees. Any tips on this? Other than that, I don't feel too bad afterwards.

lunges can kill the knees, especially if done slightly wrong. but sure your knees are passing over your toes, and your upper body shouldnt lean forward either. also be sure your kneecap and toes are evenly pointing forward, not slightly to the left or right. i have to spend months "teaching" my girls lunges before we do too many. hope that helps!!!
