posted by Jennifer on chicken, lunch, pasta

It was a short work day for me on Friday, I get off early every other Friday, so I was home @ 12:30! Time to make a great lunch. I had 3 oz. of leftover chicken, the kids wanted bow tie pasta, and I had some home made pesto in my freezer so that’s what I had for lunch. So easy and tasty!!

Pesto goes a long way, I only used a few teaspoons for my one serving:

So since it wasn’t raining yesterday I was able to ride my bike to work. So for my day 7 of working out for 100 days straight was riding my bike (3.6 miles).

The kids and I ran some errands then when I got back I was thinking I should do something else. I am lucky to have an elliptical at my house, which is MOSTLY unused, so I dusted that baby off and got on. I picked a 20 minute workout on level 5. It was hard and I was super sweaty when it was done. I finished with a 5 minute cool down. I don’t know if this is accurate, but this is what it said for calories burned – not bad!

So far I am shocked that I’ve kept up the exercise every day. Before I started last Saturday, I really haven’t done any kind of exercise in months and that’s not good!! Food wise I’ve been doing fantastic, so putting the two together, I’m hoping for great results!

Have a super Saturday!!! Our softball games for our daughter Claire have been cancelled because of too rainy fields this weekend, so I am off to the library with Claire to sign her up for the summer and reading math program. The library is about a mile from our house and Claire suggested we walk instead of taking the car – so that’s what we are going to do!
