    Avocado-Edamame Salsa

    If your guests or family members don't care for olives, leave them out. This salsa is great with reduced-fat tortilla chips and as a garnish for quesadillas or burritos.

    1 cup frozen petite corn kernels, thawed
    2.25-ounce can sliced ripe olives, drained
    1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
    1/3 cup sweet onion, finely chopped
    2 teaspoons minced garlic
    1/4 cup prepared light vinaigrette salad dressing
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
    1 avocado, diced
    2/3 cup shelled edamame, thawed
    Pepper to taste, if desired

    • Add corn, olives, bell pepper, onion, and garlic to a medium bowl.
    • Pour light dressing into the corn mixture and toss to blend. Add pepper to taste, if desired. Cover and chill in the refrigerator all day or overnight.
    • Right before serving, add the diced avocado and edamame into the corn mixture and stir.

    Yield: Four 1/2-cup servings

    I'll do a mile tonight here @ work. Starting tomorrow I'm off but for only one day. I'll try to get 1 1/2 miles then and another 1 1/2 miles on Friday. I MIGHT be able to get a mile in Saturday after work if I feel like it. I'll do my best for the team.

    Under calories, over on water, & 50 situps complete. Sorry, no way my knees will allow mountain climbers. Don't know if it'll help or not, but I'll do 50 extra situps instead.

    Evening all-
    Hope your day was smashing! My day started with a smashing headache which thankfully went away by the end of the day. Love those liqua-gel ibuprofen tabs!

    My daily report:
    50 mountain climbers = DONE
    50 crunches = DONE
    8 glasses of water = DRANK
    Calories = UNDER (just barely to be fair)
    And...
    1 mile towards our 100 mile goal.

    PS all! If you didn't see the message from Gary6030, here's the deal on the 100 mile team challenge:

    AUGUST CHALLENGE NEWS UPDATE! The 100 mile team challenge can be done anyhow you like run, jog, walk, bike, swim. Doesn't matter. IT DOES Need to be extra. So if you typically bike 10 miles a day anything above that would count. Remember it's all about extra and pushing more! Keep up the great work.

    So, I say whatever way we can get these miles in, DO IT!

    HI team I'm back from an awesome vacation. It was a little longer than we had planned and that would explain why I am just logging in to MFP. I did complete all last week challenges, under calories and drank lots of water,.. over 8 cups per day. Unfortunately I still weigh the same.. 276lbs. I think my eating habits have to get corrected asap! For the team, for my upcoming anniversary, and my brothers wedding! I will eat more salads and lay off the tortillas this week!

    Since I just got back.. I am just looking at the challenges for this week. Is it ok still if I do them through out the remainder of the week or have I goofed??

    Captain.. I hope I answered all questions you had for me!!!

    N E whoo.. I saw all the hard work the rest of the team has put in! Good job and keep it up!!!
