We found out this morning that we have a new NEPHEW- not a niece! They really pulled that one off! They even told us the name they had picked out for the new little “girl.” :) Can’t wait to meet him!
I ordered this for him. We kind of started ordering blankets or teddy bears for our nieces and nephews when they were born and we have them personalized w/ their names. The zXrents seem to like the gifts, so I guess we’ll stick with that. Kind of a unique gift. Baby pictures, etc. have been taken w/ them- so I think that’s a good sign! I hope they like this one too!
For breakfast I had 1 cup of cheerios topped with 1/2 cup of blueberries and 1/2 cup of 1% milk for 3.5 points.
I made an iced coffee to sip on all morning. So refreshing! 1.5 points.
The morning went quickly- which I love. For break, I brought back 16 animal crackers for 2 points.
For lunch I had a delicious salad made up of lettuce, mushrooms, tomatoes, sharp cheddar, Feta, chicken breast deli meat and a boiled egg. I also topped it with Bleu cheese dressing. This was 9.5 points total. I need to find a good low calorie salad dressing because 4 points for 2 Tbs. is ridiculous!
I also had a serving of crackers for 1 point.
No snacks on my last break either. Instead, I kept myself busy doing laundry and unloading the dishwasher.
For supper, I had a little chicken in peachy mustard sauce and topped with some slivered almonds, Brussels sprouts with onions, a piece of honey wheat bread topped w/ some light margarine and currant jam. I estimated this to be 8 points.
Dessert was a serving of light ice cream for 3 points.
I’ve started a habit. I planned on running this morning, but got to thinking- I have been running the night before weigh in for quite a while now and have been losing a little ever since. I can’t ruin that, now can I? :) So I waited to run until tonight. Since it was 90* outside and humid, I decided to take it inside to the treadmill.
I FINISHED THE COUCH TO 5K PROGRAM!!! I never thought this would happen! Whoohoo! It took me 13 months to complete- but I did it either way! I was a little slower this time and it was hard to do- it’s always hard on the treadmill though. I burned 588 calories. Finished in 46 minutes.
What do I do now? Do I keep running 3 miles, 3 times a week? Do I run 1 mile as fast as I can? Please- I need suggestions!!
So that better prepare me for weigh in tomorrow! I’m hoping to get my new running shoes! :)
