2 fennel bulbs
15 oz can of mandarin oranges
1 lemon
2 Tbsp Olive oil
Cut off the stalks and root ends of the fennel bulbs. (I bet you could save the stalks for a vegetable stock, but I’ve never done so) Slice crosswise into thin pieces. add the oranges, but probably only add some of the juices from the can. You can also use fresh oranges if they are nice and sweet and in season. Juice the lemon and add juice to the salad and drizzle on the olive oil. Mix together well, then chill at least a half hour. This salad works well a day ahead. Be sure to eat whilst it retains its chill.
I don’t have nutritional breakdowns, but all the fat is from the olive oil, and I bet the calories are mostly from the oranges, where the can says a serving is 80 calories.
Serves 4
Approximately 100 calories per serving.
(Editors note: Doing some really quick calculations, it looks as if one salad would be about 350-400 calories. Paul gave an update in the comments to let me know that it does serve four.- Tony)
I found this article that lists some fun ways to spend time at the beach. These fun things can also help you get/stay in shape and help feel healthier while enjoying the sun and the water.
The article discusses how the following activities can be both fun and add to your fitness
Dodgeball
Walking in the sand
Football

Recovering from the weekend, so I’m a bit stuffy. Allergies suck.
Thanks to Paul Maki for providing the recipe that will be featured this week. Check back on Thursday for that one.
In the mean time, listen to Paul’s serial ‘Really Big Things’ on Jack Mangan’s Deadpan.

So apparently I’m not the only one going through this type of program.

There are two things worth noting in the article. First, I’m apparently one of the few guys who is doing something like this. I do sometimes have a problem admitting I’m wrong, but there is no denying that I’m overweight, out of shape and need the exercise. At this point it’s not a problem asking for help, it’s a matter of where I’m going to find the help.
Second, my company is sponsoring the current Boot Camp I am participating in, so I don’t have the faintest clue how much it costs around here.
The three day weekend threw off my release schedule.
This episode talks about my weekend, my current numbers, and my shorts size. I also give a review of those Spicy Baked Fries.
All in all I had a good weekend and I’m looking forward to hitting boot camp tomorrow and Thursday.
Later.

I’ve found another recipe that I want to share, I’ll be trying it sometime over this long weekend.
I found this one on www.low-fat-recipes.com. I’m always looking for something to have as a side. It’s easier to find some fairly simple entrees. Plain old veggies get old as a side, so I this seems like a really good alternative. It’s not something you necessarily want to have in abundance, but as a side it sounds great. I’ll have a review for Baked Spicy Fries on the podcast as soon as I’m able to get them cooked up.
Baked Spicy Fries
Prep Time: 5-10 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes (in a 35 degree oven, so I’m thinking that this would be great to have along with chicken breasts baking at the same time
As the recipe reads at http://www.low-fat-recipes.com/alacarte/baked-spicy-fries.htm
