100 mile walk is that to be done all in week 2?

juleseybaby

@ faye_daisy... Looks like it. We just have to coordinate between the team members.

TEAM - I think there will be 20 of us... so we should be able to handle it... I know dk and susan will be jogging/running already!

100 / 20 = 5 miles each. Surely we can each walk/jog/run 5 additional miles within the week? If someone needs to take less and someone else can volunteer to take more - please speak up here. Otherwise - let's report our miles in here...

Daily reports should look something like this example...

deep swimmers presses - check
walked 1 mile towards team 100 mile challenge

Remember - these are supposed to be IN ADDITION TO your normal workout - so if you normally walk a mile per day - try to get in 2. :bigsmile:

faye_daisy

Directions

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, and ginger. Cook one minute. Add broccoli slaw, half of the scallions, sprouts, vinegar, soy sauce and stir until blended. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes, until vegetables are softened.

2. Stir in the hoisin and chicken; stir to combine with vegetables and heat through.

3. To serve, heat tortillas following package directions. Spoon 1/2 cup of chicken mixture down center of tortilla and roll up.

You can add egg to this recipe as well. 1 cup of egg beaters. (to use whole eggs you'll need 4 large eggs beaten). To add egg start with one teaspoon of the oil, warm oil in skillet, add eggs. Scramble until soft set. Remove from pan, place on plate or bowl. Then begin with step one above. When at step 2 add eggs with chicken and stir to combine with vegetables and heat through. Egg beaters will add an additional:

Jitteryspork

Yea.. so I don't know if anyone noticed but I put my weigh in at approx 100lbs lighter... OOOPPPPSSSS...

Sorry.. its this damn summer cold clogging up my head.

I am weighing in at 229.4 this week.

dk_runs

I still weigh 131.4 - dammit!
As for the 100 mile challenge, I can definitely crank out an additional 5 miles for the team, possibly more. I am following a very regimented training plan for a 1/2 marathon, so I will have to review it when I get home to see where I stick in some extra miles...but 5 miles extra for sure.
Recipes - coming later on today. Again, I have to wait until I get home to dig up the recipe I used over the weekend.

Happy Monday all!
