Day 2

Day 2 got off to a good start.  I woke up energized and refreshed.  I threw on my running clothes and stepped outside to find it was COLD.  Like, for real freezing.  So I decided to use my Wii to workout, which totally kicked my butt.  Afterwards I made myself a smoothie.  I added vanilla greek yogurt, V8 Splash Light, frozen mangoes, and frozen mixed berries.

 It was actually kinda hard to get it to blend.  I think next time I will add fresh fruit too.

 The result!  Very tasty, and filling too!  Plus it's a pretty color :-)

 After I had my breakfast I decided I needed to make a list of grocery store items. I wanted to try making a salad with quinoa as I heard it is really good for you.  I made my list and got all my groceries!





Now, who wants to learn how to make quinoa?  You do.  All you do is put it in a sifter,

Run it under cold water,

 add it to boiling water, and cover.

It was super good! Now, what protein do I want in my salad?  Chicken of course!  I marinated it in teriyaki sauce and put it on the Foreman for 7 minutes.

Perfect!

I added almost everything to this bad boy.  Spinach, mushroom, tomato, egg, feta, craisins, radish, quinoa, and chicken.  I am calling it "Kitchen Sink Salad." And it was gooooood.

All mixed up!

If I could eat like this every day I would have no problem dieting!
