So, I'm working at this thing called healthy living. It's rough. I'm not always on track. (In fact, I'm often off track.)
This blog will have to evolve with me or go away—so I'm gonna go with evolve!
For now I'll be journaling, and sharing recipes, and they won't all be 27g, but I promise they'll all be healthy. That said:
Today is day 2-in-a-row of eating super healthy. I feel good. When I woke up I weighed myself and was down 2.2 lbs, so that's a good start. Later I ran for about two minutes while walking the dog and it actually felt really good (whereas usually when I try to run for two minutes I'm hyper aware and bothered by my excess self, and I feel like I couldn't possibly stand running for a third minute).
I had the same salad for two meals today, because it was easy and fast to do so—work was crazy and I was fueled by lots of coffee, so I was anxious to just get things done, not mess around cooking myself fancy meals. Luckily it was pretty good, too, so eating it twice was actually enjoyable! Here's what that salad consisted of (apologies, I forgot to take pictures. I know, it's shameful.):
1c red leaf lettuce
1c romaine lettuce, chopped into thin strips
1/2 a grilled chicken breast, sliced
1/4c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 scallion
3 grape tomatoes
3T sliced black olives
1/3c Fage 0% plain greek yogurt
2T salsa
lots of cilantro
Franks Hot Sauce
I like to do my taco salads as a chopped salad—chopping all the lettuce into thin strips, and dicing all the vegetables into small bits—then everything mixes well. Just chop everything up, dollop with the greek yogurt and salsa, and top with as much cilantro and Frank's as you like.
Enjoy!
