Day 146 (Monday 3/31)

<p>Well blogger buddies Monday is behind us and we are well on our way to Friday!</p> <p>Monday morning I got up and hit the gym before work for a 30 minute run. About 4-5 minutes of that was walking and I finally got in a full 5K! Now my goal is to shoot for running a full 5K with no walking. I am pretty sure I can do it!</p> <p>After my workout I had breakfast consisting of <strong>oatmeal w/blueberries</strong> and a <strong>sliced apple</strong> for<strong> 3 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbl6UOiBHQVZA_WywHmz4xJxI-TygT0kQuyLJGRaRULG_iJVw65sranq2IdpnQ9Qc20mobbW3a4l9HASAQ4y2_Qy3I8qicVt1bLjV3nQybE5Kx8j-XpAnL27YlC3AAikDmf3PTauMSTFf-/s1600-h/DSC02200%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02200" border="0" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAxciaOi0eYQxTO3g_97hsIEvHfsQVyiXIpiu-_Mp7XpJ3LOHLwKJu_oKk4IjSNb1Pod0fHL8e9bMg9uZZPOfXxOgC-0ohANOsQRs4sk61gbZQKL3nCnZK0qIL9s1ZOsjQQG3XpDZSv5S/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC02200" width="417" /></a> </p> <p>Around noon I had my morning snack (late I know!) – <strong>ww strawberry yogurt</strong> with <strong>1/4 c grape nuts</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>. </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN90GfdSS5HAgw_HWX4Q4KIs23qs1cX_WlYjFvnK1XF6LYin_Tk70bgD8skvnc6l8OEj7HdlIchWUEI8l-sXkqnP5M-iYZDof1L_WfEO2teDIXTHLHTy8H-70ZpXFUQAtdQ163ReDCzybm/s1600-h/DSC02201%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02201" border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAvTK5Srak7jz28QR83qibj4cdnit9wktlJb-Af50CGeUfNqHA79gGWH1w5rP3MAbT90c6KnHKDkh97qUPJbUl8yJeT78AJk8MjZBMMkF2LqYhAz24ZHUHjLAfZ_sU1Xrv0Zqx0sMND_s5/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC02201" width="410" /></a> </p> <p>I took a later lunch on Monday so I was glad that I had my morning snack late too! I made a VERY filling lunch…so filling that I couldn’t eat it all and brought it back to work to munch on throughout the afternoon. I had a <strong>ham, turkey, & cheese wrap</strong>, <strong>1 sliced cucumber w/ff ranch</strong>, <strong>1 c cantaloupe</strong>, and <strong>1/2 c cottage cheese</strong> for <strong>7 points</strong>. </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7l0gjQajkmVih7y29xNQyHaXEUE6n-MDSJh67Q6QsKxDDNRryuYMZn1eP_kmOq77mlnW6LgVuyt0I6l8NdCNiqPq5UOiOUInImB3lBtbSeQ-tIAa-9NnVAOM_xjownJEn_yvorBRraa4T/s1600-h/DSC02202%5B8%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02202" border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtu6LMHpbREN_RaTYKqMmh1FwI2gQyMkfvrglDMjUEhyxtvmi7i1x4CL9AxYqzrw3wSqVMW-6tdAE7PHyRNM6MGLvx3CSe3OiuTHfWG8TP7Oqy_MbXEAZ3BXqBdiN6EhGOXiCESAuceJlK/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC02202" width="412" /></a></p> <p>After work I was hoping to get my supper in early because I had a home party to go to, but didn’t quite turn out that way. Time got away from me and I planned to run to my friend’s apartment that was hosting the party.  But I think I was ok because of my oh so filling lunch! So around a little before 6 I started out on what I had planned on to be a 2.7 mile run to her place. Well things changed a tad…hold on ‘cause this could be a long story!</p> <p>So I started out and happen to notice that this one car had went by me numerous times in a few different directions. I didn’t think much of it at first and after about mile 1 I took an un-planned turn and took a one way street to see if this car would go that way too. Well they did…and went by almost 7 more times! And yep I said one way….they had to turn around and come back up from behind me. So I decided to stop running, take my head phones off, and called DH while just walking along. Well he was working and wasn’t free. I was hoping that if I was on the phone they would go away. I got a hold of my neighbor and he happened to be out driving close to where I was and insisted on coming to get me. In our 5 minute phone conversation this car drove by at least 4-5 more times before my neighbor got to me. So in the end I was really glad that my neighbor came and got me and took me to my friend’s apartment. I think the car saw me get into my neighbor’s truck and took a screeching turn in the opposite direction!</p> <p>I have never felt like that before while out. But also I usually don’t run in that direction. But still it was a nice residential neighborhood and it was 6 o’clock in the evening, bright and lots of cars driving around. Part of me wonders what would have happened if I would have kept running…if they were just bored and it was a COMPLETE coincidence that they went by so many times or if they were looking for trouble. But I’m glad I didn’t stick around to find out! Wow! That got my heart rate up! But I still got in at least 18 minutes of running/walking. </p> <p>The party was fun. Ordered a diffuser…those things that smell good! And I think I might host a show…it was for PartyLite. And of course my friend hosting the party had snacks. I am going to estimate that I had <strong>6 points</strong> worth of <strong>snacking</strong> while at her place. (jelly beans, snack mix, and a new cheerio cheddar snack mix thing)</p> <p>Another friend brought me home and I quickly fired up the grill for supper, it was after 8pm already! I had a <strong>grilled teriyaki chicken sandwich</strong> with <strong>cheese </strong>and an <strong>orange</strong> for <strong>6 points</strong>. The chicken was good…I’m so ready for summer and grilling season!</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUujx-RMbNWcNKKoOKFzNu-djyVqIAODYDaIkEcnrCcQ6Qk_7sESZnql-pbJoYBYtxSOVv8GC6xLraWogcSeAt4-Zn-0S635Vn-qRk1tH-rHbiO7l-6o-Yt1Ghk8OSKPWAjMAOwzL3y32C/s1600-h/DSC02203%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02203" border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj43wi6cJcuwfokS0OKnwoMb-u8y2ZlrDn1DnMbmvEtkVHUOIwjsmj5Uv9_UsimFmSVSzQjLqOxIs6U5ovteVAa6mEffq5i2sDLCTL3gHw6emP1FzFHnYITZ_5bnSeqC1sPNVAbvOD_KuoH/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC02203" width="412" /></a> </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>Now it’s Tuesday and my home scale is WAY up…163! I am so nervous for weigh in tonight. I am going to take off a few hours early of work and get in another work out….I know I will probably gain…but man I don’t want to gain 3 lbs!!!!!!!!!!
