Hi there! I wanted to share with you the yummy foods I ate today...

For breakfast, I had a bowl of high fiber cereal and added raisins.

For my 1st snack, I had blueberry-flavored Greek yogurt and a handful of almonds. For lunch, I ate a Caesar salad wrap. Here's how I made it...

I took a fat-free tortilla...

...added some baby spinach.

Then I cut up the leftover pesto chicken I had from last week and put it over the spinach.

Then I drizzled on some Caesar dressing and added some parmesan cheese. Then I rolled it, cut it and...

Voila! A tasty Caesar salad wrap!

For my 2nd snack, I had an organic cereal bar and some pudding to satisfy my sweet tooth.

I had to stock up on some household stuff at Sam's Club, so I picked up one of their yummy rotisserie chickens while I was there. They have the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had! What did I have for dinner with the rotisserie chicken?

Brown rice & lentils, along with a tomato and lettuce salad. Generally, I don't eat the skin of chicken. Yes...the skin is very caloric, but that's not the reason I don't generally eat it. I just don't want it most of the time. But I have to admit that I eat a little bit of the skin when I get a rotisserie chicken from Sam's...it's got so much flavor!

So that was my day of eating. All-in-all, it was very healthy and tasty. I try to do a couple of things to get my metabolism going...I try to eat at least 30 to 45 minutes after I get up in the morning AND I try to eat several small meals a day. I aim for eating 6 meals a day, but it's difficult for me to get that many in. I normally make it to 4 or 5 meals. I also try to drink lots of water throughout the day and get in a good amount of fiber. And because I'm severely anemic, I try my best to fit in several energy-promoting foods. Today, it was spinach, lentils and almonds. I'm so proud of myself for walking on the treadmill for an hour. I normally only do 30 minutes, so an hour is a big deal for me! Trust me, I don't always stick to this healthy lifestyle. But one thing's for sure, I get right back on the wagon if I fall off. I'm not hard on myself and I don't give up. I try to keep a positive attitude because I know that I'm not perfect. And I've noticed that the not giving up has really helped me form healthier habits. So the more healthy I eat, the more of a habit it becomes. I really look forward to the day that I'm at my healthiest weight and that I'm physically fit enough to run a marathon...gasp! I'm tellin' ya, one day I'll be able to do it! Thanks for checking in with me today. Be sure to bookmark my blog, check back daily and tell all your family and friends to check it out daily as well.
