I should hit Jazzercise every day this week I think!
I did 2 miles yesterday. I borrowed my Sister-in-Law's Woman's Running book and started following the beginner plan. First goal is to be able to run 4 minutes on and off for a 14 minute stretch. It says I should be able to do that within the week so that's my goal.

Plan of Attack... a day late...
How did it get to be Tuesday already???
Weekly Eats
M - Cajun Chicken Pasta (EatingWell.com)
T - Turkey Zucchini Burgers w/ Oven Fries (SkinnyTaste.com) - ended up with Salad instead of fries since my potatoes were a bit outdated.
W - If the T-Ball game actually happens we'll have Subway, if we're rained out we'll have Maple Glazed Pork & Sweet Potatoes (EatingWell.com)
T - Pizza & Salad - Nate's Preschool Graduation is at 6:15 so we need to eat QUICK
F - Turkey Black Bean Enchilada's (SkinnyTaste.com)
Keeping Moving
Jazzercise is planned for everyday except Wednesday. Sunday we have a demo at the town's Tag Sale on the Green so I get an extra day of Jazzercise in. After Jazzercise we're heading to the Traveler's Championship (PGA) so that should also have a lot of bonus walking!
I did a quick 1.2 mile run / walk / jog today (Tuesday as well). Tomorrow I plan to do the 3.2 mile route, as well as potentially Friday and likely Sunday morning.

Planning for the Week
So close to yet another huge milestone (in the 100 club, only 3.6lbs away). I lost some focus this weekend with 1 too many days of bad food and good drinks. Lets see if I can reign it back in.
Weekly Menu
M - Swedish Meatballs with Whole Wheat Noodles (SkinnyTaste.com)
T - Spinach & Sausage Risotto - Matt's own recipe, I'll have to watch the portion here.
W - Subway - We have T-Ball so it has to be quick.
T - Bruchetta Chicken (SkinnyTaste.com)
F - Santa Fe Chicken with White Rice (SkinnyTaste.com) - since we never made it last week.
The Egg Nests for breakfast were awesome! I will be making those again this week or next. I didn't get a chance to make the muffins yet so that will be on Wednesday night's agenda I think.
Workout Goals
Last week I did 5 days of Jazzercise and one 3.2 mile run / walk. This week will be about the same. I'm hoping to get at least two runs in but we'll see. We have T-Ball Wednesday night, work stuff Thursday / Friday so it's going to be a very busy latter part of the week.
As far as running goes I'm shooting for a 5k or maybe even a 10k this year, but we'll see. The outside season in CT is so short that we'll see how it goes. Luckily I have my sister-in-law to try and teach me the ways of running.

Planning for the Week
Saturday I hit a huge milestone... 50lbs. Totally psyched! To try and keep forward motion to my next huge milestone (just 7lbs away - the 100's) I've got the plan for the week.
Weekly Menu
M - Chef Salad (Turkey & Low Fat Cheese rolled up, cucumbers, tomatoes and light balsamic dressing)
T - Turkey & Black Bean Enchiladas (SkinnyTaste.com)
W - Grilled Chicken & Broccoli & Potato Mash (EatingWell.com)
T - Turkey Zucchini Burgers with Chipolte Sweet Potato Fries (SkinnyTaste.com)
F - Santa Fe Chicken with White Rice (SkinnyTaste.com)
Some New Breakfast Options
Tonight I made the Egg Nests from SkinnyTaste.com from Breakfast for Matt and I a couple days this week. At only 65 calories each even having 3 isn't bad. I also plan to make the Chocolate Chip Ricotta Muffins for a sweet alternative.
Workout Goals
I did make it to 6 days of Jazzercise last week and I made it out to run once. Not within my 3 times a week goal, but hopefully I can do better this week. Today I went to Jazzercise, I'll got tomorrow at 6am. Wednesday is targeted as a run day since we have Full Day Kindergarten Orientation that night and I'll miss Jazzercise.
My sister-in-law is considering doing the Newport Marathon in October. (She's run two halves). I'm halfway considering signing up for the half. They welcome walkers at this event (you have to finish within 3.5 hours (17 minute mile). I think I can do that, but I'm afraid of people wondering what the heck I'm doing.
Anyone out there?
