Finally losin’ it

I think I need to stretch more after my next training run. I tend to skimp on that aspect when doing regular workouts, but tonight my quads hurt. I’m pretty sure it’s the run and not the softball, because I felt fine when I woke up this morning (after the game).

The good news is I managed to keep the food under control for the rest of the day. For dinner, I tried a new recipe from the WW “5 Ingredient, 15 Minute” cookbook mag I picked up at Wal-Mart Monday. The Chicken Marsala was pretty darn tasty — and only 5 Points! (I did the non-alcoholic version, with balsamic vinegar and extra chicken broth, because I had those things on hand, unlike the wine.)

I think tomorrow, I’ll try Roni’s Mexican casserole recipe. I’ll fix it at lunchtime and take a serving to work for dinner. I had a bit of trouble finding the spaghetti squash, though. The first store I went to said they were having trouble getting spaghetti squash. I actually called ahead to another one to make sure they had some, prefacing the call with “this might sound like a crazy question, but …”

Honestly! I’ve never heard of a spaghetti squash shortage before!

I consumed a total of 31 1/2 Points today, then subtracted 4 of the 7 APs I earned for the workout to bring my total to 27 1/2 — a half-point under! No FPs today. Hooray!

Now it’s time for bed. Gym time tomorrow will be spent mostly working out with weights (I’ll probably spend a short time on the treadmill or elliptical, but I’m not going to do another training session!) Saturday, it’s Zumba time … and on Sunday, we may or may not have another softball practice. (After getting our butts kicked Wednesday, we need one!)
