Yesterday, the weather was warm so, I went for a long walk with Jimmy and Molly around the neighborhood.  It was good to be outside in the warm air. The walk took about an hour.  We didn't go very fast but when we got back to the house my heart rate was fast so I think it did some good!  I wanted to walk again today but the weather is back to being yucky and cold so I will probably just do a  walking tape or something.

I am making baked Tilapia for dinner tonight and some sautéed  zucchini and squash to go with it. I also probably make some rice as well.  I usually sauté the Tilapia in a little butter, olive oil and red wine vinegar but this time I wanted to try baking it. So will see if it comes out as good.

I always seem to eat a pretty healthy dinner.  I need to start paying attention to what I eat for breakfast and lunch.  I was looking online for some healthy (but tasty) options for the first two meals of the day.  I did find a pretty yummy recipe for a chicken salad sandwich.

Chicken Salad Sandwich:

Ingredients:

Chicken (Cooked and shredded or cubed, however much you want depending on how much you want to make)
Pita Bread ( or Some kind of whole wheat bread)
Onions (I like to use about a quarter of one diced up really good)
Olives (If you want...I like it)
Tomatoes (Sliced or diced)
Mayonaise (Light...I tried fat free and it tasted like glue)
Salt
pepper


1. Cook the chicken way ahead of time.  It needs to be cold otherwise you will have a liquid mess
2. Mix all the ingredient together
3. Stuff into pita bread
4. Enjoy

I packed to sandwich for lunch at school with Molly and I loved it.

Keep thinking healthy everyone!

What is wrong with me!!

I gave up carbonated beverages of all kinds (including diet).  I started on the second of Jan.  I did great till about the 20th when I took a trip to the grocery store and found myself on the isles with the all the soda.  It was as if they were calling to me. I couldn't resist and I ended up with a cart full of soda.  I bought 3 2 liter bottles  and all three of them were gone by the end of the next day.  Grrr.....Why do I loves soda so much!!!!

Long Time No Post!

Hello Everyone!

It has been very long time since anyone has posted anything.  I am going to try and post more regularly and I encourage you all to do the same. I walked for 30 minutes today.  My foot is sore and swollen but ice and Motrin help a lot. Eventually I would like to work up to jogging.  I think I will start out just jogging a minute everyday.

After my walk I came home and had a Zucchini, tomato, garlic and egg white scramble.  It was delish though I did get a bit cray cray with the salt.  I am trying to use less salt and butter.  It is hard because normally I put a lot of butter and salt in mostly everything that I eat.  I crave salt and butter more than sugar (also trying to eat less sugar). I forgot to take a pic of the scramble but the next healthy thing that I  make I will capture it and share it so you all can see.

Hope to see you all posting soon!

Love,

Felicia

Let's Walk!

Let's walk 3,400 miles from California to Maine!  Everyone can join in.  Just walk for exercise and figure out how many miles you walked then come and post it on here.  I will calculate the total amount we have walked each week and display it for all to see.  So break out your walking shoes and get moving!

New Direction!

So we are changing it up a little and we have decided to do away with monthly weigh ins and measurements.  Instead we are going to focus on ideas for getting active and finding healthy recipes to exchange. We also want to continue to encourage and motivate each other by posting pictures, songs or videos.  Dues are now 5 dollars every 5 months. After we have saved enough money we will decide all together as a group what to spend the money on.

Not to good

well im still not on the ball again. I did work out once this week on saturday for 45 min, but i havent been drinking enough water or eating enough veggies. next week im gonna do my step tapes and maybe go to the gym so i can get back in the game.

New Month Tomorrow!

So I worked out at curves on Mon, Wed and Sat for 30 minutes.  I still have been doing good drinking water and good with the veggies just not so much with the fruits.  I realized that I really just don't eat a lot of fruit.  I like veggies because you can cook them and add lots of butter and salt (not too much).

Well tomorrow is the 3rd month.  February will be over.  I have not recieved payment from anyone for the month of Feb.  And I also noticed that no one has been blogging.  I think that this could really work if we actually dedicate some time to it.

Since tomorrow is the first it is weigh in time.  Don't forget to weight and measure and post you results!

Wow!

Yeah, so I finally remember how to log back in!  I have done good this week.  I went to Curves and worked out for 30 mins on Wed-Fri.  It felt good. I have been drinking a lot of soda :( so I am trying to stop that again.  I haven't stopped drinking water so that is good. 

Everyone needs to remember to blog at least once a week!  The new week starts on Monday so you should blog for this past week before Monday.  If you blog on Monday it should be about the upcoming week not the past week.

Also payment for February is due so don't forget that! Let's all start getting into this blog.  I think we can really use this to motivate each other but only if we really do it!

I did ok

i did ok this week. I drank water and ate veggies but only worked out twice. this week im gonna do better with some step aerobics im gonna try!

I forgot!

I forgot last night that it was the last day of week 3 and I jumped into bed and went to sleep.  I worked out two days last week(Friday and Tuesday).  I drank lots of water and ate plenty of fruits and veggies. I have found a walking buddy. The lady that lives across the street from us (Sheila) and I have decided to go walking on Wednesdays after we put the kids on the bus.  We have decided to walk for 45 minutes.  I am looking forward to this.  I think having someone to talk to will help the time pass quickly. Let's make week 4 an excellent week!
