I had a rather disappointing weigh in this week, but the number was lower so I’m claiming victory!
February 17, 2013 – 158.2 – 0.4 week – 10.8 total
I believe the low weight loss was due to the lack of working out and having a number of celebrations last week. We had a pancake dinner on Tuesday, Valentine’s Day on Wednesday, and dinner with family and friends on Saturday. The weather was rather cold a dreary, so we didn’t run much. No worries...this week has already started off on a different note.
Since the weather is still in the “freeze your face off” mode I made an appearance at the gym. I swiped my card and lived through the look of the 5’10” model that works the front desk...yeah...I haven’t been here in like 10 months, Judgy McJudgeshorts. At least I am here now! And it's freezing outside, why are you wearing shorts?!
I managed to exceed my goal of 2 miles on the treadmill! I did a bit of a different running workout. I have a decent amount of stamina from running longer distances, but my speed leaves a little to be desired. So, in hopes of working on increasing my get up and go I followed this plan...
5 minutes at 4.2 – Warm Up
1 minute at 5.0
1 minute at 5.5
1 minute at 6.0
1 minute at 6.5
1 minute at 7.0
1 minute at 7.5
1 minute at 8.0
1 minute at 8.5
2 minutes at 4.0
Repeat 2 more times
5 minutes at 4.0 – Cool Down
This might look somewhat easy, but about 20 seconds into the 8.0 minute you'll be feeling it. Unless you run a lot and you have super long legs...and I hate you. *hug*

Last night I made a delish dinner and I can’t wait to share the recipe! I always have great intentions to take photos. I like posts with pictures, but I always realize toward the end that I haven’t snapped one single photo! Maybe I will improve on this soon. Until then you’ll just have to close your eyes an use your imagination!

1 Lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/3 C All-Purpose Flour
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Table Salt
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 C Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 C White Wine

1 Tbsp Light Butter
1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley

Place 1/4 C of lemon juice in a bowl; dip chicken into lemon juice and then dredge in seasoned flour.
Heat oil in pan and cook chicken on both sides until golden and cooked thoroughly, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside; keep warm.
Deglaze pan with white wine, stirring to remove browned pieces. Add broth and remaining lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat until reduced and slightly thickened. Swirl in butter and drained capers.
Place chicken back in skillet to coat with the sauce.
Serve sauce over chicken, and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
We added 1 C of Whole Wheat Pasta to this, divided by four it only adds one additional WW Point!
