Healthy Food, Happy Life

I’ll be quick today. Heading out the door to my Weight Watchers meeting this mooring. Yay!

Instead of Jazzercise class yesterday, I went to Hot Yoga last night. I love both of my classes, but I’m going to try to alternate them. That Hot Yoga class really makes me feel awesome, strong, happy, so many good things…..it was a great way to end my WW week.

Last night’s dinner….Grilled Chicken Taco Salad. Mike requested Grilled Chicken Salad all week, to which I replied….”That’s dumb.” I like to mix things up and I get bored easily. I had no desire to eat the same thing for dinner every night. Then I thought, let’s just see how many different salads I can come up with this week!

This Weeks Salads

Greek Grilled Chicken Skewers served with salad. 

Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken Salad

BBQ Salad

Cobb Salad

Here are yesterday’s eats….

Breakfast – 7 PPV

Un-Pictured Frothy Coffee, Blueberry Oatmeal topped with 1 tsp Almond Butter, Scrambled Egg Whites with Salsa

 

Lunch – 8 PPV

Market Salad with a little Chicken Salad at the food truck.

 

Snack – 0 PPV

A handful of humongous grapes!

 

Dinner – 10 PPV

Grilled Chicken Taco Salad. I chopped up some leftover Grilled Chicken and added water and homemade taco seasoning and simmered it for a few minutes. I added 3 oz of that Chicken to a bed of mixed greens and topped that with 30 g of cooked, diced potato, 1/4 C. Kidney Beans, 30 g Avocado, Cherry Tomatoes, Cucumber, Bell Pepper, 14 g Cheddar Cheese, 1 T. ff Catalina Dressing and 1 T. Light Sour Cream.

 

Snack – 1 PPV

3 Dried Figs. These look disgusting, I’m aware. I’ve never bought fig’s in any form other than a Fig Newton. I saw them in the bulk bin and I was curious. Yep, tasted just like the inside of a fig newton! I would try these again if they weren’t so dry. It’s always good to try new things.
