Embracing the veggies

I used a ton of veggies when I made lunch today. And what I made was really pretty healthy! I made the spicy southwest chicken (but i doubled the amount of tomato and jalepeño) from the recipe tab and served it over lettuce and cucumber to make a very tasty salad (the leftovers are going to work with me tomorrow). I also made sweet potato fries!! They were so good!! I'll include the recipe under the tab, but I'll share the picture here too. Don't they look divine!?

After the week I've had, it's been very hard for me to do anything but want to sleep. Hopefully tomorrow will get me back into my routine!

Grocery Shopping

Tonight was the night to grocery shop... ICK. I'm not a fan of grocery shopping. I'm especially not a fan of leaving my new car in a parking lot full of buggies and random driving strangers, but anyways.. I learned a very valuable lesson tonight, HEB in Taylor has crap for produce. The tomatoes are gross (fruit flies! EW!) and everything is over priced... There is also a certain time of the month that a woman shouldn't grocery shop... I'll let you get what time of the month that is! Oh well, lesson learned.

I found this awesome recipe at this blog here. It's primarily Weight Watchers based, but the food looks amazing. For dinner tomorrow night I'm making the chicken taquitos that are from her April 11th post. It looks really easy and super tasty. I'll be sure to update tomorrow with how they turned out..

Zumba earlier today and it looks like I'm about to do some Yoga.. Have a good night everyone!

Important lessons and healthy meals.

I learned a very important lesson today.. One that I don't think I'll be forgetting any time soon. The lesson is the utmost importance of drinking enough H2O. Yes my friends, water. After today's slightly whacky schedule, I walk into Zumba and quickly realize that I haven't had enough water..

I never believed everything I heard about be dehydrated slowing you down and the importance of being well hydrated before a workout. Today my body made a believer out of me. Not ever half way through Zumba I was stopping for a water break. Lesson of the day? More water...

I made an amazing dinner after Zumba and felt the need to share it with everyone. I diced 2 chicken breasts and cooked them with tomatoes (Romas), half an onion and some squash. I seasoned everything with a little olive oil, pepper, a small amount of salt, Italian seasoning, and spicy Italian dressing. I served this with grilled zucchini and a small serving of whole wheat pasta. James loved it and it was pretty healthy. Over half of what we ate was veggies and we had leftovers of everything except the zucchini.

I will try and add the recipe to it's own separate recipes page.
