5 Week Challenge…Day 8

We had one day of slightly blue skies, then right back to rain and thunderstorms. I have a treadmill, and I’m glad that I do for those snowy, winter days, but I would MUCH rather walk outside and soak up the fresh air! 

I sent my friend Becky a text to see if she was available to walk, and I’d say that 9 times out 10, she is! It makes this challenge so much easier knowing that I will usually have a walking buddy!

Just a few minutes into our walk, it started to sprinkle, then rain. We kept at it and decided that it actually felt kind of good! She’s pushing me to run a bit, so I’d say out of the six miles that we got in yesterday, at least of 2 of them were running! Yay!

I’m racking up some activity points this week!

Here are yesterday’s eats…..

Breakfast – 3 PPV

Trader Joe’s Bread, Toasted with 1/8 smashed Avocado, Egg Whites and Salsa, Orange, Black Coffee

 

Snack – 3 PPV

Leftover Red Onion, Zucchini, Sweet Potato. I ate it cold while working at the Food Truck. 🙂

 

Lunch – 5 PPV

This was the Skinnytaste.com stuffed chicken breast that I made Sunday night. It tasted great heated up with some crunchy carrots!

 

 

Snack – 2 PPV

Raisins and Almonds

 

Dinner – 10 PPV

Veggie Burger on a Chopped Salad, Spaghetti Squash with 1/4 C. Ragu Light Parmesan Alfredo and 1/3 C canned Peas.

I have been trying to eat very little processed foods and stick to the simply filling list, but I had a jar of Ragu in the pantry, and the combo sounded really good together! It was! 3 PointsPlus for the Alfredo, Peas and Spaghetti Squash. Mike liked it too!
