Ali's Weekend Challenge

I figured this would be the easiest way to post all the challenge information, since I can edit it all weekend long. 

Below is my plan for next week.  My week begins on Sunday but here is my work week plan.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday – Breakfast Oatmeal (160c)

Wednesday – Breakfast – Subway ham, egg white and cheese on flatbread.(348c I always leave two bites)

Monday, Wednesday, Friday – Lunch chicken cabbage soup(so yummy 157c for 2cups)

Tuesday and Thursday Lunch- (Grilled chicken on spinach salad with salsa) (200c)

Snacks consist of Almonds, string cheese, cottage cheese, and celery with peanut butter.  I try and alternate days on the snacks.  Each one is about 100 calories each I have one in morning and one in the afternoon

Dinner will be a little tricky planning; all depends on my work schedule this week.  But I do have frozen mini turkey meatloaves, will get some zucchini and asparagus at the store tomorrow when I go shopping, and I will be making something tomorrow in the Crockpot that I can freeze.  This will be part of the challenge for Ali making something new, going online looking at recipes while at workJ.

Workouts will be every day after work.  I will do my 45 minutes of aerobic walking, going to up the intensity starting Monday, from the beginners walking to the moderate walking. That is going to be a challenge, but I am getting through the beginners now without stopping and keep up pace so time to challenge some more.

Okay so I did the 10 minute Plyometric Tabata, it was hard for me, but I did it.  I had to do the modify moves, I am not great doing mountain climbs on the floor or jumping squats, but I did the modify moves and did try at least once each of the moves I had to modify.  I am going to do this work out twice a week until I don't have to modify the moves.  I will continue to do my other work outs that get me my steps for the day, but adding this in also.  Feel proud that I did something that scared me to even try until Ali challenged us.  Way to go Ali!!!!

My new food.  I made healthy calzone.  Below is the recipe.  It was great.  I made 12 and will be freezing them for lunches and dinners.

So I made chicken ratatouille. I split it into 6 servings and I am freezing it. One pan meal.

Put olive oil in skillet and warm it up. Medium high heat
 Take about pound of chicken breast. I used to medium ones. I diced it into big pieces

Combine Flour, salt paprika and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, mix together and coat the chicken pieces with.
 Add Chicken into the skillet and brown.
 Once chicken is brown and 1/4 cup water
 Combine garlic, pepper and dried basil(about 1 teaspoon) mix together
 Add the eggplant, take 1/2 the garlic mixture and sprinkle over the top
 let cook a few minutes about 5
 Now add the zucchini, and peppers sprinkle the rest of garlic mixture on top. Reduce pan to simmer and put top on it, Simmer about 15 to 20 minutes until veggies and crisp soft. Stir occasionally.
 Take the lid off and the tomato and let simmer with top on about another 5 minutes. At this point you can add the cheese or break down into 6 serving and add the cheese to the top.
