Breakfast held me over until about 2pm. For a split second I considered going out for lunch, but quickly realized that I could eat something a lot better from home. I’m glad I went home because I forgot about the two bags of croissants and Polinesian chicken salad in the refrigerator.
So that was lunch, and it was delicious. If you’re a fan of chicken salad, you can find the recipe here. I love chicken salad; top 20 favorite food item for sure. I estimated about 500-550 calories for the sandwich.
I recieved an email from the folks at Laughing Cow asking me if I’d mention their Life Well Laughed campaign and thought, why not? I knew I was going to the store this evening, so I decided to pick up a pack of their cheese wedges. Disclaimer: I was in no way compensated for this mention. I was hankering cheese and it sounded like a good cause.
The Life Well Laughed Project makes it easy for people to give back to their communities through delightful snacking. From April 1 through July 15, you can visit LifeWellLaughed.com, enter the UPC code found on the outside of the packaging of The Laughing Cow cheese wedges and/or Mini Babybel® cheese, and The Laughing Cow will make a $1 donation to support health and wellness programs. The Laughing Cow has committed a minimum donation of $250,000, but with enough people participating, the company hopes to realize a maximum donation of $500,000.
The Laughing Cow®’s mission is to make healthy living more delightful. Inspired by the First Lady’s Lets Move initiative, they’ve taken that one step further to create the Life Well Laughed Project, which seeks to motivate, educate and support communities across the nation to live healthier lifestyles for our kids.
I chose the queso fresco and chipotle cheese, a new one to me and it was pretty good. I enjoyed the creamy texture and smoky/spicy flavor. I’m already coming up with ideas for it. My snack was 100 calories- 35 for the cheese and and 65 for the rice and nut crackers.
I’m making an effort to drink lots of water today. I can’t seem to get enough.
Total calories so far today: 1,060-1,160
Going to do Insanity soon, today is pure cardio (one of the hardest sessions- hoping to burn 400-500 calories) and planning some steak stir-fry with peppers over rice and a salad for dinner.
What are you having for dinner?
