At home due to the ice today and made the most fabulous salad!! Thought I would share with you all.
Spinach and mixed greens
1 apple diced
sprinkle of dried cranberries
Topped it with:
Canned chicken breast with a TBL of light mayo, red grapes and chopped celery mixed into it.
YUM! YUM!
Think I will try this again soon. I calculated it at around 300 calories. Very filling for that amount. Not sure what I could use instead of the mayo.
Be safe and keep warm!!

Week 2
Week 2 has gone well - stayed away from the burgers, fries and cokes that I would have had prior to starting the project. We traveled a lot this week and boy there sure aren't many places that offer healthy food for those on the road. I did pick salads and bottled water at the places we stopped. Now my next goal is the preplanning. I am a working mother of 3 and think it would really benefit me to pre plan all my meals for the week. I have heard of people doing this and know that there are companies out there that allow you to go to their business and do it. I would just like to start off at my home. This might be something we can get a few members of the project together to do. Not sure how to put something together like that, but I know it would help me. I just need healthy recipes. I have noticed as I go through my recipe book - those recipes passed down from family etc. are all horrible for my family. YIKES! So anyone who has recipes for a family of 5 that are healthy but kid friendly - I am all ears. Hope you all had a great week and I look forward to making even more progress this coming week!!

Week 1 down
Wow - what a week! Even though I didn't accomplish all as planned this week - what a transformation I have experienced. As I look at my nutrition journal, I noticed some pluses and deltas as we use in the administrative world.

Another great thing happened this week - it was stressful, but I was successful!
I defended my PhD proposal and have passed. :-) Now on to the actually study and data analysis and then by May - Dr. Rinehart ;-) YIPPEE
