I know a few of you were concerned if I could keep up with 20,000 miles (thanks for proofing my blog Momma!) steps a day, day after day. Well the answer to that is. No. I am in the final three days of my DietBet, final WI is on April 20, but I have declared Fridays to be my rest day. A day to rejuvenate, drink Green tea, and I think I may even make a green monster smoothie for breakfast this morning, haven’t had one of those in a long time!
Breakfast was so good yesterday. Sweet and Savory – the savory was a Bay’s English muffin with scrambled egg whites, a fried egg, an ounce of taco meat, spinach and of course cheese! For dessert I had Chobani with strawberries and a couple chopped walnuts. Breakfast comes in at 506 calories, 22 fat, 47 carbs, 6.2 fiber and 32 grams of protein. #protein challenge!
I went on my walk at lunch – right around 52 degrees – nice!
Lunch was the last of my chili mac, so simple but delicious.
I had strength on tap after work – chest.
Before I started my workout I wanted to get my hair out of my face. I had my pink headband and thought maybe I could get all my hair back into it. I took a picture of how it looked and was shocked by all the grey hair I saw! I guess I don’t see it in the mirror? I think maybe I’ll have to start thinking of highlights to mask it.
I finished off with 2.5 miles on the treadmill.
I’ve declared Thursdays leftover night! So I took some of the leftover pork carnitas and my chipotle bbq sauce and made tacos and grilled zucchini on the side.
I ended up with decent steps for the day!
Earlier in the day my step-son Joe put this on Instagram. I love this picture of them – it was probably 2006? I had forgotten how long Hannah’s hair was!
So when I got home I had to put up my #tbt – to 2005 when we took the kids to Orlando for spring break. They had this photo booth place where you could dress in character and then they charge you $$$ to buy the pictures, but this is priceless! If anyone is wondering, that picture below is my goal weight – 140! 
I just realized I am two years older than Tony was in the picture – he would have been 45 and I was 37. I am so glad we have so many pictures, but in going through a lot of them we don’t have a whole lot of us together – either I am taking a picture of him or he was taking a picture of me. Our old computer though has a lot of pictures on it, but it doesn’t work very well. I think I can take it to like Best Buy and see if they can get all the pictures off of it and put them on a flash drive – just think of all the fun throw back Thursay’s you’ll see – ha!
Alright, time to get this show on the road – happy Friday! My sister-in-law and I are going on a trail walk on Sunday morning, then I have my Mom’s concert on Sunday and I am taking her out to dinner. Check out the menu – what would you get? (hint: I may get the cheese and meat tray for my meal!)
Have a great weekend! Follow me on Instagram if you want to keep up with me over the weekend. My Bizzy Kitchen. Hugs!
Those gray hairs just show how wise you are! 🙂
I have bought a mobile hard disk that I plug into my laptop and then save photo’s and everything else. Maybe something for you too? I hardly paid much for it here.
Good for you taking a rest day, it is always nice to have a day of rest to look forward too. My rest day is Friday too but that’s not really counting because I didn’t keep myself to my workout schedule the past weeks LOL. But promise I will try better.
Love the photo of you and Tony by the way.
Hope you had a great weekend sweety.
So many things sound good from that menu!!! I think I would go with the truffle mac&cheese:)
Hope you are having a great weekend!
yummm
either the stone hearth meatballs with a cup of pasta fagioli…or…
the pulled pork tacos with a cup of chicken chili verde. I’d definitely be the last to chose at the table. 🙂
Charcuterie board? I’m in. I have ordered a few lately to share with a table before dinner and have found it to be a great way to make sure I don’t get stuffed on an appetizer! Spinach and pear salad looks amazeballs, and I would have a hard time choosing between that and the oxtail ragu. I would probably opt for the salad, just because I’m trying to “stick with” paleo again instead of emotional eating! 🙂
The Beef & Cheddar Panini is calling my name on the menu! You have been doing great in all your challenges…I’ve been reading, just not commenting much since I’m always on my phone! I am so far from my steps goal today since I did not work out…I’ve been on the computer all day 😛
I saw that Kim and it does sound good, doesn’t it?! No worries about the commenting – since today is my rest day it’s just 3:00 and I only have 4300 steps, but I’ll pick it up tomorrow 😀
The food all looks delicious! Love your blog! Have you ever tried Raw Revolution Glo bars? They are great for your health and super tasty! If you use the coupon code “blog” you can get a discount too =) http://www.shop.rawrev.com
Oh, that menu looks good! I’d go with the pulled pork cubano, but I LOVE all things pork!
Oh shit, I didn’t see that on the menu – yum!
Love the pictures! 🙂
Have a great weekend! I love those old-timey pictures…have one from when I was in HS with a bunch of friends and it’s hilarious.
You too Shelley!
Was sitting here eating my big dish of Chobani with strawberries as I started to read your blog. Thanks for turning me on to Chobani! I buy it by the huge containers. Have to have a tooth pulled next Monday so I am on those nasty antibiotics so I will be eating tons of Chobani between now and Monday. Yum….. Have a great weekend.
I should probably buy it in the bigger container – I’ll check out the price difference. Sorry about the tooth – feel better!
Another great day with lots of steps – good for you! Those are great pics, I love looking back in time and remembering all the good times. 🙂 That menu – Yum! Beet and goat cheese salad with pulled pork, please. My mouth is watering. 🙂 Hope you have a great time on the trail and with your mom!
Thanks Christine! Me no likey beets, otherwise the goat cheese would have had me! Have a great weekend!
