143.0…Greek Quinoa Salad

I really enjoyed last night’s dinner. It was filling, delicious and good for me too. Feel free to play around with the veggies in this Greek Quinoa Salad.

I served it alongside grilled chicken breasts but it would be tasty on it’s own too!

This morning’s breakfast was scrambled egg beaters, diced turkey, salsa and a half of a grapefruit.

I went to a school meeting at Starbucks so I grabbed my favorite Skinny Vanilla Latte.

I went to Cardio Muscle class and had a great workout. You know you’re going to be sore when you leave the class with already sore muscles.

Next was errand running and a quick stop at Subway for lunch.

Turkey and ham with avocado and lots of veggies.

I just got back from taking the kids to see the movie “Planes”. It was cute. :) Enjoy your Friday night!
