So guys. Yesterday was a really good day- I DEFINITELY enjoyed my rest day, haha.
I've got a dentist appointment today, but will hopefully be hitting the gym after that. I'll definitely get some extra miles in this week!

I just made the following tonight. Made it up as I went along and it was yummy and very fillling. Canellini beans are an excellent Low GI alternative to many carbs you would usually stuff peppers with:)

MEXICAN CANELLINI STUFFED PEPPERS (SERVES 2)
230 cals per serving.
For snack/side or starter

2 peppers
1 cup canellini beans (I use dried, soaked beans as no sodium, but for quickness you can use tinned
Spray Oil
2 cloves garlic
1 onion
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
12 tablespoons of extra light cream cheese
2 tsp capers (use instead of salt) or use a pinch of LO salt
2 pieces of sundried tomato (if you don't have it the recipe will still be nice without)
big squeeze of lime juice
1 tsp of coriander
1 tsp of cumin
1 tsp chilli powder
Some ground black pepper to taste
If you prefer use some pre-made Mexican seasoning as well as above spices or instead

Pre-heat oven to 180.
Put all ingredientds in a food processor and blend. If you don't have one, mash to beans then chop the other ingrediends very finely.
Half peppers. Spray bottoms with spray oil.
Put filling inside
Give a spray of oil
Put in over for around 45mins, watching closely until golden.

EAT - Yummy!

Just finished an extra mile and the 50 lunges on each leg. Now getting ready to do my normal work out.
Also my water has been drank.

abyt42

Good job so far today, folks! Lots of recipes to try, and we're MOVING. Woot!

MFPfriend

Don't we have to post the nutritonal information with our recipe?

And also, I'm really sorry about this, guys. I feel really bad about it. I just had a huge blowout with my dad and now I'm moving in with my aunt for tonight, though it could also be for a few more days if I don't settle things with him. I'm going to do my best to keep up with the exercise and keeping under my calories and water drinking, but I'm not sure how things are going to work out. But I need a break from my dad right now, or I'm going to go crazy.

InfamousQ

did everything that was required today plus I ran an extra mile tomorrow I plan on hitting it hard. I was very light headed this AM which caused me not to work out in the morning but I got a little in this afternoon...I am off to bed now..need rest...

TiffMax

I did a mile and a half walk sunday- thinking it could count for this challange. Let me know if not otherwise i will continue on with the 3.5 left for the week.

So, I've done the mile that was part of today's regular challenge, and a total of 4.5 extra miles toward our 100. Can we add those up to see how many more extra miles we need?


4.5+

chelsea32291

My challenges are done for today :-)

MFPfriend

I've got the challanges done for today, plus an extra mile.

InfamousQ

Did mine for today...tired the bed is calling and yes I know it is before 8pm!!!!!

VeganInTraining

My arms finally stopped twitching from the swimmers presses, I did 2 extra miles and under for food and over for water. I feel like today was a big success

lloydmel

If biking does count... I biked 10 miles today...

abyt42

So, today's challenges are done, plus an additional mile (so I've got 5.5 done toward our 100.)

Could we get a tally of how many miles we've WALKED or RUN toward our 100 additional miles walked/run/jogged challenge?
(I'd like to know because I'm running tomorrow: if we're not all on track to do the extra five, I can add some tomorrow and Thursday, but I'm traveling at the end of the week, so can't later.)

hether22

I walked 3 1/2 miles today and completed 1 mile yesterday.

MFPfriend

Okay, let's start the tally of our total EXTRA miles. Add you username and how many miles, then add it to the the total at the bottom. As you do more during the week, add to your own total and then make sure to count it towards the Total total (haha).

EXTRA MILES-

MFPfriend: 2

Total: 2

Anyways, I just did another mile at the gym since I completely failed at my Couch to 5k this morning. I also went in and got my strength training in, since I had no time this morning to do it.
For right now, I'm under calories and over on water. Woot woot!

chelsea32291

Apparently I need a bike. You all have done some amazing mileage! I've only gotten in one extra mile so far this week. Walked about 2-2.5 today, but for the normal challenge and my workout. Hopefully I'll be getting lots more in this week!

VeganInTraining

i've done 4 miles EXTRA this week.

chelsea32291

My challenges are done for the day. Those mountain climbers were a killer. Hopefully going for a long walk tonight.
