Fitness Friday

Well, I'm back at it. Last week I was looking at my calendar and counted that there were only 10 weeks until my bachelorette lake weekend (now only 9!) I got super excited and then super stressed because I am no where near where I want to be fitness/food/body-wise with only weeks remaining before all of my wedding festivities begin!

This past week I've done GREAT staying right around my 1,380 daily calorie goal (thank you My Fitness Pal). I haven't been able to get out and run/walk much this week (I blame it on the weather) but I was able to clock 6 miles (thank you Daily Mile). AND, I lost 2.4 pounds WHOOP.

I also created an amazingly delicious lunch for only 250 calories! Obviously, I have to share it with you....this is for you Caroline! :)

I was scrounging through the fridge and saw this collection of random ingredients:

-2 slices Sara Lee 45 Calories and Delightful 100% Whole Wheat Bread
(90 calories total)
-1/4 cup Bertolli Organic Pasta sauce-I had Olive Oil & Garlic
(40 calories)
-1/4 cup Market Pantry Reduced Fat Mexican Cheese-thats what I had, it could be any cheese
(80 calories)
-10 turkey pepperonis
(41 calories)
-Spray Butter (0 calories)
-Pinch of garlic salt

*First I sprayed a piece of tin foil with the spray butter and added the two pieces of bread on top, I then sprayed them with the butter and added a little garlic salt to each piece.

*Then I broiled them for about 2 minutes, until they were just lightly browned

*Next I added the pasta sauce


*Then the pepperonis


*And finally, the cheese


*I put the bread back in the oven and broiled for another minute or so...just long enough for the cheese to melt (watch it closely so it doesn't burn!)

*I topped it off with some Frank's Hot Sauce (cuz I put it on everything) and then enjoyed!

It was SO yummy! It totally filled me up AND 250 calories?! YES!

I'm hoping to use Fridays as my check-in days to keep me on track, I know, I know...I've said that before, but I really do feel pretty motivated this time. And, after only a week I can really feel a change in my appetite. So, wish me luck!

Also, just throwing this out there...I want to find a week this summer to do the dreaded Cabbage Soup Diet (read about it HERE) again and was wondering if any of you would be interested in doing it with me? I thought we could help each other through it and share our experiences on our blogs.....if you'd maybe want to do it, leave a comment or shoot me an e-mail and maybe a bunch of us can find a week to shed some pounds! :)
