It's the morning before 6 graves.  I had some shopping and a few errands to run before I get some sleep.  I stopped by the butcher in Ripley and picked up 6 chicken breasts for my dinners for the next 6 nights.  I'm having that with wild rice and steamed veggies.  I'm making Cumin-Rubbed Chicken Breasts which I got off the Food Network.  I doubled the rub ingredients since I'm doing 6 pieces.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (5 to 6 ounces each) pounded to 1/2-inch thickness

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Spray a grill or grill pan with cooking spray and heat to medium-high heat. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil. Combine cumin, salt and pepper and rub spice mixture evenly onto chicken breasts. Grill until grill marks have formed and chicken is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve over coleslaw, if desired.

I'll also have my porridge, a salad for lunch with chopped prawns and a few crackers, some raspberries and a pot of yogurt.

I forgot to take my new pedometer to work with me but I still increased my walking.  In addition to the 1 trip down and back I always make, I did an additional 4 trips down and back; the first 3 of those were easy, but I'm feeling the last one :-)  Now it's time for stretches and bed!
