First things first I had a lovely breakfast! Spinach, egg, turkey sausage frittata bowl! Delicious.
Lunch was leftovers from this lovely recipe below.
I went for a walk that turned into a slower pace jog and my foot didn't start bothering me. I did ice it Thursday twice and Friday beforehand. So maybe that is what helped. I know I still need new shoes. Actually went looking today but didn't have my size in my running shoes so will order online today. I can't wait to get new shoes *does my new shoes dance*. Getting back on my good foot. I also did Insanity Day 5 - Pure Cardio. It was intense but I enjoyed it.
Oh oh and look at my shoulder muscles!!! Popping out like the HULK! LOL!
Well here is the recipe as promised...

What is Spaghetti Squash? An edible squash of a variety with slightly stringy flesh which when cooked has a texture and appearance like that of spaghetti.
Ingredients:
- 1 small to medium sized Spaghetti Squash.
- 6 to 8 oz of chicken breast (I used 3 oz per shell)
- Seasonings of your choice for chicken (I used salt, pepper, parsley, basil, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, and worchisor sauce)
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (optional)
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup of Pasta or Marinara sauce (I used 1/2 cup of Pasta sauce per shell)
- 1 cup of part skim shredded mozzarella (I used what I had at the time which was Sargento Mozzarella & Provolone. I only used 1/4 cup per shell)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven to 350.
1) Wash then cut the Spaghetti Squash in half length wise
2) Remove the seeds (middle section)
4) Season to taste with salt and pepper
5) Roast the spaghetti squash by placing them on a foiled baking sheet/pan with the opening down. I did it in my oven (about an 1hr - 1hr and 15 mins - once the skin get nice and soft and inside is tender) but you can also apparently - though I never have - use a microwave.
6) While that is roasting, season and grill the chicken then set aside. (I used my lovely George Forman)
7) When the Spaghetti Squash is done, take it out and let it set for a couple minutes. Don't turn off the oven)
8) Take a fork and fluff the spaghetti like strains around, leaving the squash in the shell
9) Season with a little bit more salt and pepper then fluff a little more.
10) Cut the chicken breasts into little small square chunks and place on top of spaghetti squash
11) Top with marinara or pasta sauce
12) Top with cheese
13) Put shell(s) back into oven and let it cook until the cheese has melted nicely.
14) Take it out and enjoy !!! Feel free to top it with some basil or parsley!

The idea of this recipe was from Skinny Taste. I did a few minor things differently and used a few different ingredients as mentioned!
