DIVISION OF LABOR (100 MILES)

So far, here are the mile commitments and thanks to those who chimed in and have already starting pounding the pavement!

Lcoulter-14 miles
Shenanigans-5 miles
Maddox-10 miles
Fitmom-10 miles
CarmenSox-10 miles
Cindy0716-5 miles
Ivygirl328-15-20 miles
Ana-5 miles
Kap-10-12 miles
Emswanson-5 miles
Tarabear-5 Miles
Iris-5 Miles
Moonchild-5Miles
OneLoveBud-2 Miles
Cap (Mo) 8-10 miles


Alright...that puts us at 114 (for each person that gave a range, I used the lowest number i.e. for myself, I used the 8). We have a few more members and I need them to commit too so that they can catch the slack for others.

Now, here is how you can post everything in a simple way. If you have completed everything successfully for the day, you can say MISSIONS ACCOMPLISHED and then just add the amount of miles that you accomplished for the day. Now if you did NOT accomplish the mission, then you have to tell me where you slipped and then add your miles. I will keep track of the mileage to make sure that we do not get to the end and need 80 miles! LOLOL Any question...inbox me.


WE CAN DO IT...WE WILL DO IT...CONSIDER IT DONE!

I am doing GREAT today! YAY!

I am at 64 ounces...not doing that great on water today....BUT

I did do the 50 swimmers presses and 50 tricep extensions, PLUS 25 push ups and the mini challenge from yesterday of 50 wide leg squats.

I also did the 1 extra mile, PLUS another 1 mile into my 10 for the week, so I have 2 miles down for the week so far, only 8 left to go! YAY! Kicking butt! :bigsmile:

fitmommy2012

AND HERE IS MY FAVORITE RECIPE, I am actually going to make this for dinner tonight! Its YUMMY!
(I got it off of the Hungry Girls Website!!)

Chili's swap - Buffalo Chicken Fajita

Ingredients:
1/4 cup Fiber One Original bran cereal
Dash garlic powder
Dash onion powder
One 5-oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast cutlet, pounded to 1/3-inch thickness
2 tbsp. fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
3/4 cup sliced bell pepper
1/2 cup sliced onion
1 tbsp. Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
1 tbsp. precooked real crumbled bacon (like the kind by Oscar Mayer)
1 tbsp. crumbled blue cheese
Optional: large lettuce leaves, salsa, fat-free sour cream

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.

Place cereal in a sealable plastic bag; remove air, and seal. Using a meat mallet (or other heavy utensil), crush cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency through the bag. Add garlic powder and onion powder. Seal and shake to mix. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Place chicken on another plate and top with egg substitute. Flip chicken to coat both sides. Gently shake chicken to remove excess egg substitute, and transfer to the plate of crumbs. Flip to coat both sides with crumbs.

Place chicken in the baking pan and bake in the oven until crispy and cooked through, about 30 minutes, carefully flipping about halfway through bake time. Set aside.

Meanwhile, bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add bell pepper and onion and, stirring occasionally, cook until softened, 6 - 8 minutes. Transfer veggies to a clean plate and set aside.

Combine hot sauce with 1 tbsp. water in a bowl, and mix well. Once chicken is cool enough to handle, carefully coat both sides of cooked chicken with sauce mixture. Slice chicken and place over the plated veggies. Top with any remaining sauce mixture.

Sprinkle chicken with bacon and blue cheese. If you like, wrap in lettuce leaves and top with salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!

We received a new member, OneLoveBud, so I have to wait for a new tracker sheet. As soon as I receive it, I will have a total. I am anxious too! LOL

Just curious - Do we know how we did point-wise last week and where we stand overall?

And, thank you again! I know that it must be a nightmare keeping all the cats herded and the information gathered. You are doing a great job, Captain and Co-Captain. Way to keep us moving!
