    I hope you all are having a blessed Sunday. Sugar Daddy,
    The shih-tzu, and I are cruisin' through MO on hwy 70 Colorado bound.
    In spite if my best efforts lady week I was only able to bring
    you a loss of half a lb. ! I think my body is going
    To fight me tooth and nail over these last 7-8 lbs!
    I will win! Here's one of my favorite recipes
    along the quinoa theme:

    Spicy Quinoa Stuffed Pablano Peppers ( Because some like it hot!)

    4 Pablano Peppers
    Homemade Taco Seasoning*
    Box of Quinoa
    4 Tblsp. Parmesan Cheese

    Place peppers on cutting board and slice at an angle
    the top off each. These tops will act as "lids". Clean
    out the seeds. Steam the peppers and "lids" to
    half cooked, still firm. Place on baking sheet. Prepare Quinoa according to package
    directions to make two cups, adding Taco Seasoning to
    before bringing to a boil. When fully cooked, stir in the
    chopped chicken. Now stuff the prepared peppers
    with cooked Quinoa to overflowing and lay "lid" on
    the overflowing Quinoa. Sprinkle the Parmesan over
    The tops if each and bake at 350 for 20 min. Yuuuuummm!

    Homemade Taco Seasoning (Super Low Sodium)

    1 tablespoon Chili Powder
    2 teaspoons Onion Powder
    1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
    1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
    1 teaspoon Paprika
    1 teaspoon Ground Oregano
    Directions
    Mix all ingredients together. :)

    I went hiking today... when have done that? Oh, once every ten years... it was great! Then I continued around town shopping with my pedometer cranked the whole way. I logged an additional 6 miles for a total of seven today. I am whooped. I completed my challenges this morning and added an additional 30 lunges.

    @sugar........... OMG awsomness.. great job

    ohkay i was confused about the Mountain climbers .. how to count.. it was 1 = both legs or 1= each leg.. so i did 100 = both legs, 40 lunges( 4x10 with 7.5lbs each side) 200 Jumping jacks ,2 miles extra and 200 crunches....

    So far i have done 300 crunches.. and i am going to do 1000 by the end of this week...10 points per person i guess..
