Day#26: Back Pain Sucks!

Sunday is normally Recipe day, but I didn't really cook today.

26 Days Down, 33 Till Disney World.

So, Sunday was chugging along, going great until I foolishly decided to attempt moving my furniture around. :( yeah... I seem to have inflicted myself with lower pack pain in my eagerness to clean and rearrange. I think I pulled something. I've taken drugs and stretched as best I can. Hoping that tomorrow I feel better. Crossing my fingers... because right now I feel like this...

Moving furniture will have to wait.

I feel foolish, this same back pain gets me every so often. I didn't really feel like I had overtaxed myself, so the pain is annoying to say the least.

If my back can't handle things I guess legs and back can wait and I can still do arms for a work out tomorrow. I'll just have to play it as I see it.

I didn't cook this recipe today but it's a goodie that I love!

Oatmeal MeatLoaf:

Sometimes when my mom wouldn't have corn flakes or breadcrumbs on hand but wanted to make meatloaf she would throw a dash of Oatmeal Quick Oats into the hamburger instead. I love this meatloaf and it's really one of the few ways I'll eat oatmeal, in meatloaf or cookies! :) This is my own rendition of the recipe with mom's oatmeal inspiration.

2 lbs Hamburger (I usually do 80% lean)
1 cup Quick Oats Oatmeal
1 egg (large)
Salt & Pepper
Onion (chopped)
2 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp bbq sauce or Ketchup
Garlic Powder (just a dash)

Mix all ingredients till incorporated then place in glass oven dish with lid. (My mom would always put a hole in the middle of her loaf. I think it was with the intent of helping the loaf cook faster, but who knows!)

Cook at 375degrees for 60 minutes, check for internal temp of 180degrees. Serves 8-10 at approx. 8 oz a serving. You can also clean, poke, and wrap potatoes in tinfoil and add them to the oven directly on rack. Baked Potatoes added to the oven should be checked when Meatloaf is done by inserting a toothpick or knife with it coming away clean... You may need to leave potatoes in longer to finish cooking while meatloaf cools and rests.

:) Yummo!
