Lunch – Grilled Fish w/ Salad

Snack – Almonds

Supper – Salsa Chicken Wrap w/ Spinach

 

Not an exciting Monday, thankfully.

When I got to the office, I took my Catalyst and ProBiotic Restore Ultra while I mixed up my Strawberry Mango Spark. 

Meanwhile, I was mentally preparing myself for the Fiber drink.

I have the Peaches & Cream flavor, so it really isn’t all that bad. I’ve heard that the Citrus is pretty atrocious.

Following my Fiber drink, I heated up my Egg White muffins and sliced up a banana. I’m not sure what it was, but something about the egg muffins smelled funny. I am a person that has always been weird about eggs. They smell funny to me, and I normally can’t make myself eat them. Today was one of those days. So, I didn’t eat the egg muffins and I actually threw them away. I ate my banana with a little extra peanut butter to make up for the muffins.

Every Monday during lunch, I have a Rotary Club meeting. Most Monday’s it’s held at the Buffet at the casino. I know what you’re thinking — danger!! But on the contrary, it’s actually pretty easy to eat healthy there if you use will power. They have a great salad bar! So, I grabbed a plate and filled it with mostly romaine lettuce, black olives, cucumber, mushrooms, a dash of sunflower seeds, and some vinaigrette. I also selected some delicious baked fish and some chopped cucumber and tomato salad. I pretended that the dessert bar was disease-ridden, and I smiled as I enjoyed my healthy lunch. I almost died when the girl sitting next to me walked in with a caramel cheesecake, but I didn’t actually.

The afternoon passed by quickly, and before I knew it – I was on my way home to greet my fur babies.

While I finished watching the first season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians on Amazon Prime (still no Dish receiver), I ate a few Almonds.

For supper, I made something pretty delicious!

Salsa Chicken

Pre-season your chicken with the spices of your choice (I used Mrs. Dash). Spray your skillet with EVOO cooking spray. I put 4 chicken tenderloins (so I could have extra for lunches) into the skillet. I covered each tenderloin with a tablespoon of Salsa Verde and regular salsa. Put the lid on, and let them simmer. Keep checking on them. As you turn them on each side, the salsa will slide off. But, that’s ok. Once the chicken is cooked, use a fork and shred it up. Then, stir the shredded chicken around in the salsa. Let it simmer on low for a few more minutes. Done!

I put half of the shredded chicken into a whole grain tortilla with spinach. Delish! And kind-of Cinco de Mayo! 😉

Not an exciting day, but I’m almost done with the Cleanse phase!
