I have decided to do a salad week. I am going to have a different salad each day for lunch. I will try to include some protein in it too to make it last me till supper. If anyone has any good salad ideas I would love to hear them. Or if anyone knows of any good blogs with salads worth checking out I would be interested in looking.
Today was a kind of clean out the fridge salad.
The greens were spinach & mixed baby greens, some carrots, a couple of strawberries, some cut up cauliflower, some leftover salmon on top a bit of crumbled feta and 2 tsp of hummus. For the dressing I just sprinkled some balsamic vinegar on top. It was very good. I am so loving hummus in my salad. It adds so much flavor for a small amount plus it adds an interesting texture.
For breakfast I was craving some oatmeal after seeing all the great oatmeal bowls over at Lighter Portions and Kathy Eats Real Food.
I added a couple of strawberries, a few almonds and pumpkin seeds to top it off. I like my oatmeal with a little 1% milk. I LOVE oatmeal.
Supper was leftover coleslaw, some watermelon and some pasta with homemade spaghetti meat sauce. I tried to fill my plate with more salad and fruit than pasta and sauce. These plates are small size dinner plates.
Monday Workout (today):
Did a great walk with Tessa today. It was 1 hour. I tried to walk fast to get the heart rate up. Still testing the running but not quite there. Had a great session at physio and I am on my way and I know I will be able to start my run program soon. Also did 4 sets of 20 bridge exercise & shoveled rock for 3 hours.
I am moving my official weigh days to Fridays as of this week so I will not be weighing in this week on Tuesday but I will weigh in on Friday. It makes more sense for me with how my week is structured to try it this way.
It was a good day. Feeling focused and like I am moving forward.
