This is how I ended yesterday’s post when I wrote it. I needed it to be a good day. I planned for it to be a good. You know what?
It was a really good day!
I had coffee with a couple of girl friends and got caught up. I got a few errands in. I had lunch with my mom. Ran a few more errands.
Then the best part of the day happened. The Part that made it a really Great Day!! I planned to run for 25 minutes. One minute longer than the last time. I didn’t get a run in since Friday, so I wasn’t sure how it would go. I ran for 30 minutes!! Yep. At 25, I decided to go for another minute, then I just kept adding them. I had figured that if I ran for 30 minutes at the pace I was going (5 mph) I would get in 2.5 miles!! So I did! I felt great. I could have probably just ran the three miles, which is kind of freaking me out. I was on the treadmill, so hopefully the weather will cooperate so I can get a chance to run three miles outside before our 5K on April 12th in Dallas!!
Super Excited!

Dinner at home
4 oz. Turkey Burger
with 1/2 oz. Goat Cheese and Caramelized Red Onions
2 oz. Sweet Potato Fries, Chopped Salad
For the salad, I roasted 1 C. of edamame, 1 C. of corn, chopped red onions, chopped butternut squash, 1 minced garlic clove, sea salt and 1 T. of Olive Oil at 400 for about 20 minutes.
I let that cool, then put it in a bowl.
Then I added a chopped tomato and a little lime juice and a little more Sea Salt. I chopped up Romaine lettuce, added the roasted veggies, topped that with Salsa and 2 T. of Light Sour Cream, then chopped it all up. The roasted veggies would have made a great side dish alone, but I was trying to bulk it up and get a few more veggies in!
The Salad made 4 servings.
One Serving = 3 PPV
Sweet Potato Fries
I cut my potatoes, drizzle with Olive Oil and sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese. Spray a baking sheet with Cooking Spray and Bake the fries at 400 for 35 minutes, turning over fries half way through cooking time. I like to weigh my fries for an accurate PPV. I ate about half of a medium size potato.
Dinner Total = 10 PPV
