Planning Ahead

I stopped by Whole Foods today after bellydance class to pick up some ingredients for Trina’s supergood fun salad that she made us last week, but I had to kind of wing it because I couldn’t remember what exactly was in it. I added spinach to the mix, some dried cranberries and now that I think about it, I’m missing the bell pepper that was in it. Oh yea, and I added some of whole pecans in lieu of walnuts (I think that is what was in Trina’s, but I’m not sure).

Another thing that I took heed from our Total Body 12 week kickstart program at Bodyworks Studio is to pre-package and stay organized, ahead of the game to fight the last minute ‘grab a bite to eat’ routine that never seems to work in my favor. I made 2 salads and pre-packed them for quick and easy transport to work, so I’m good until Saturday.

I also made some chicken and black beans and tomato dishes for dinner. I’m pretty glad that I can eat the same thing for a few days in a row without any problem with variety – it makes things SO much easier and way more convenient.

“If you want different results, you have to try different things.” I’m in a good space tonight.
