Update post by the afternoon 🙂

Thursday was a PV day.
Daily Weight Loss: 0.4 lb/0.20 kg
Total Weight Loss: 75.7 lb/34.41 kg
I only had to work half a day on Thursday because of International Women’s Day… which was kind of cool. I got to take the morning off and worked the afternoon. I got a promotion at work, which is kind of cool. I have been asking to do the work I will now be doing since I got there in September.
Walked home from work and straight to the gym across the lane from my building. I can see the people working out from my bedroom balcony, but didn’t want to start there too soon in my weight loss. Besides, I’ve been doing my own stuff, C25K, the swiss ball, wii yoga and the exercise bands. I tried to do C25K on the treadmill, but that ain’t happening. I felt confined and not in a good pace. So I did the machines and worked on my pecs, the back of my legs and my triceps.
Then home to make dinner. I thought I had chicken to make the Lime Chicken and Shrimp, but I didn’t, so I just made it with shrimp… Yum!
1 Tbs olive oil
As much shrimp as you want
1/2 onion, I chop mine in biggish pieces
A handful of fresh mushrooms
1 lime, cut in quarters
1 small chili pepper, diced small
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
A dollop of Fat Free Greek yogurt
I threw all of the ingredients, except the lime and yogurt, in a hot pan with the olive oil, stir fry 1 minute and then squeeze the juice of all 4 quarters of the lime on the cooking food. Throw the lime rinds in to the mix and stir fry all of it another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and plate. Take the rinds and squeeze the rest of the juice out of them… mmmmmmm, and then put a dollop of yogurt on top… YUMMY!
Lime & Chili Shrimp Stir Fry

After dinner, went out for a 35 minute run… in, you guessed it, the cold friggin’ rain… LOL
Ciao!
Sounds sublime 🙂 couldn’t resist that one. Dang that rain. But running in the rain beat the pants off not running at all. You’re SO da bomb. Thanks to you and some other bloggers I’m just now catching on to the idea that onion is allowed on pp days. Nice.

LOL, Anna… I love your sense of humor!
Glad you figured out the onions… AND you can have garlic on PP days, too! I eat onions nearly every day of the week… My momma always said that onions keep your skin clear!
Love all alliums… We grow a lot of both garlic and onions. Sad to cook meat without either, what was I thinking. Glad the bulb is outta the bag, so to speak.

will p/u ingred. and try. Sounds great,
It was yummy and simple, Mom 🙂 Love you!
Funny it doesn’t sound like a diet. I’m getting more psyched about this everyday. I think I can Dukan!!! LOL
You totally can, Dukan!
That looks and sounds really good. We’ll have to try this..with chicken due to allergies. Thanks for sharing and good job on the exercise!
Let me know how it turns out! I’m sure your pics will be prettier 😀
That looks delicious!
You have got the running bug…. although I tend to shy away when it is raining. The recipe looks very tasty, I’ll need to get some shrimps in my next shop.
That I do 🙂 I find running in the rain cathartic! I took last night off and went mountain hiking today, so back at it tomorrow 🙂
