Finally…

<p>Tuesday at Darci’s house means it <u>WI day</u>! I hopped on the scale this AM and was excited to see the number, <strong>165</strong>! My week of eating well at the hospital last week paid off! I lost <strong>2.5 lbs</strong>!</p> <p>Breakfast this morning was simple, but good! I had <strong>blueberry muffin oatmeal</strong> with 2 slices of <strong>toast</strong> for<strong> 3 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4URVEeRC4AQJ2ecXlc_LYUGVrx6PmMB9r63LmgZt-b8OdpzC7Jb_CIrzf4bHbr1xeTaUROl_MNrv12ugFyjJskINL3IuXSMycvMqaDPMJLmP5DhkiYUJPGOxbf8DYivHV5tlPxnx97siL/s1600-h/DSC08712%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08712" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXU_ODp5ilY_olWPsy9zgsiC_rPJdk1q2upjx5igAExUScmXSWK7_DJOGm7_V6kND-OGz6fqFDFj8godpAPatgTEWWqwt2aTLUmehhfm0sERjV5AZFoqNJmMX_tRUxQI-a-a6EwfDw450h/?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="DSC08712" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I have a big last few weeks of September, lots of reports to compile & deadlines to meet! While working on my to-do list I had <strong>1 c strawberries</strong> and <strong>yogurt</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhChm4hWoI46OPv29eRrzOXKkZ7fdqCyyFRfazXi0oHgiPM9V0wE6UpLgZCcjogCy85UaxPzpKLFWxwMxKxoiTDpKjb6bLW-dayEFsWUkem5Tsrr4h3ZKTC3nSXQIXvmamaa44ZqfS_t3sI/s1600-h/DSC08713%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08713" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA1L3y9tB84H13ZYLC74OSdwI7AJTGmrYpGHIxgDRkP2fN189Alph_bPKUkKk0XDMierZZFh30iLpZyufHoGJvrZ-WcTkKalsAAClr5rA8_TKP8FumAxR2U4dZ28GzC2Tc0n6hGSCJ_8_X/?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="DSC08713" width="404" /></a></p> <p>It was a cool, overcast day. Because of that, I decided to have some soup for lunch! I had <strong>Progresso chicken noodle soup</strong> and a <strong>cheese sandwich</strong> for <strong>4 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHrSRGJgelvdSNQunKkh_I3bdfmi7MkppK4xcauuFnQFeMtzp_81gfbI3JHJstj5WNqJWi7Uf2niAoU_SSAtZV8zBX0NZy4xkAqaVNt0URzq499hq73XBAT1DLkwgCZcfI-McQIa59hGr4/s1600-h/DSC08714%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08714" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpbpzNe3znEz8BPPM8sYlwC3cmy2GCdwO6lY_PxSNGyzh2trdJ6u0i2z_fBendAsfh9dKQ2hcxKW_vB4C3liujZ68ftGleJ5PehiHs65I5Ep6PEDBQv3RIaKCn7D7_UkwLm5_tt8ZQi5Xf/?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="DSC08714" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I couldn’t pass up desert!

While it was baking I…………<u>went for a run</u>!!! I haven’t ran since <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/07/catching-up.html">July 22nd</a>!!! Yikes! I was <strong><em>nervous</em></strong>, but <strong><em>anxious</em></strong> to get out there at the same time. I ended up running <strong>2 miles</strong> in <strong>22 minutes</strong>, not my best time, but I ran the entire way, felt great when I was done, and I’m proud that I did it!</p> <p>Supper was waiting for me when I got home! We had <strong>fiesta chicken & rice bake</strong>, a favorite in our house!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWlwwdlHn9JrJQ0drCxkCynKVf3bWIm129fEwa2Ftl6vAMml-l19qh0fWYq00OgPb4NgOtCJ7r3UKwDozlzXmoCnvnTjJjAHqEYEBYKof5lbp6TW-QOUNhSJoY7PyZtwy4aos9ieMrdaLZ/s1600-h/DSC08716%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08716" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmJj3cQQFG4AlKd1PGFJ0bQ_DGZq6n3o24wmPJS3CiN9r_Iz_HFGRllJDef4IwrU6HqhojcxP-ptK9nVm23jLJdpm-L2blVqDMFt8N84h40N7CJrD6z4YCLCfGjp7exHU5UY8nDfX4x7cB/?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="DSC08716" width="404" /></a> <strong><em>Fiesta Chicken & Rice Bake</em></strong></p> <ul> <li><em>1/2 tsp paprika </em></li> <li><em>1 can 98% ff cream of chicken soup </em></li> <li><em>1 c salsa </em></li> <li><em>1/2 c water </em></li> <li><em>1 can whole kernel white shoe peg corn </em></li> <li><em>3/4 c uncooked minute brown rice </em></li> <li><em>5 boneless chicken breasts </em></li> <li><em>1/2 c 2% shredded cheddar </em></li> </ul> <p><em>Mix soup, salsa, water, corn, and rice in baking dish.
