This past week has been a very very busy time on my page. For some reason I gained over 13,000 new people over there. Yeah, that wasn't a typo. Someone mentioned that they saw me as a sponsored ad on their newsfeed but I don't believe in paying to promote a page that I make no profit from. I know I sound like I'm complaining. I'm not, it just has me at a loss on what Facebook is doing. Hopefully they won't expect me to pay for something I didn't buy lol
How ever you got here....welcome!!
Ok so now the fun stuff.....
My meals for the week:Breakfasts - egg muffins (recipe can be found here http://2fitchick.blogspot.ca/2013/07/spinach-bacon-egg-muffins.html) or egg omelet
Pre long run workout - My favorite Strawberry Banana Smoothie (http://dashingdish.com/recipe/strawberry-banana-smoothie/) or I take out the banana and add in 2 tbsp of low fat cream cheese to make a strawberry cheesecake smoothie
Lunch - I bought Cajun Turkey from the deli this week so either I'll have wraps or fold it's with that meat, a laughing cow cheese wedge and lots of veggies
Snacks - yogurt, air popped popcorn, cheese sticks, sliced cucumbers or zucchini with ranch, bananas, pluots
Dinner - Last night we had Chicken Marsala from WW.com. We have Smoked Sausage and Vegetable medley with garlic mashed potatoes for tonight (from emeals), Santa Fe Chicken Pie (emeals) with a salad, Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Soup (from skinnytaste), Chicken, Mushroom, and Brown Rice Slow Cooker Casserole (from weightwatchers), baked salmon with asparagus and quinoa, Crockpot beef roast with veggies and brown rice
My exercise is scheduled in too....Yesterday it was a 6 mile run, Monday weights at the gym, Tuesday 8 mile run and Zumba, Wednesday weight day, Thursday 8-9 mile run, Friday off, Saturday 5k charity run, Sunday off.
Oh! I'm also sponsoring another Dietbet that will be starting on my birthday, October 4th! Basically you buy into the pot, which is $20, and who ever wins at the end of the month by losing 4% of your body weight gets to split the money. Yes they have measures in place to keep people from cheating. The link to the game is https://www.dietbetter.com/games/23919Ready for a recipe?
