I am so excited for this new challenge! I feel like it's just what I need to break my plateau of being stuck in the 230's. Also, it should be a great way for me to stay on track with 5K training. I plan on completing one 5K a week until the big race in April!
Yesterday I completed by 5K and had breakfast for dinner. Speaking of breakfast, we made breakfast burritos for breakfast Saturday morning. We used the George Foreman grill and they were so good!
- My husband loves pancakes, bacon and eggs for any meal. I had cereal for dinner last night... two bowls.
I love challenges. I had a month long motivation challenge planned for March but things happened where I had to cancel it. It was little challenges each day people had to complete for an enrty into a giveaway to help keep them motivated all month long. I am really thinking about starting it for the month of April.
ReplyDeleteYou should! Sounds like fun!
DeleteI have eggs and toast when I make pancakes for my family. That burrito looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteDid breakfast for dinner tonight. I like to make things that the leftovers can be eaten at later breakfasts, like french toast or pancakes. Both can be put in the refrigerator and then put in a toaster when one wants one. Tonight we had corned beef hash (the left over corned beef from St. Patrick's day), homemade sourdough english muffins, apple pancakes and I put out some orange and some grapes. Left over is english muffins and apple pancakes. Yummy.
