This eating plan is kickin my booty, but I must say I feel so good, and am doing a lot better this second week than the first! I am on day 9 and haven’t slipped once! I also can already tell I am losing weight. The hardest thing for me this time around is the snack food I am surrounded by. I only buy two snacks for my kids, Motts Fruit Snacks and those Organic Animal Crackers from Costco, and having those around has been the hardest thing for me. I also really miss Peanut Butter sandwiches! Anyway, onto the purpose of this post…
I have tried to be a little more creative this time around with my meals. On Thursday, I was making Pesto Pasta for my family for dinner and I decided to try it with Spaghetti Squash for me! It turned out so good!! So I thought I would share with you how I made it!
Pesto Spaghetti Squash
1 Spaghetti Squash – about 1 1/2 cups
1-2 T of Pesto {Here is a link to my homemade Pesto}
4 oz of Chicken
Cut the spaghetti squash in half, scoop out the insides and place face down in microwave safe baking pan with a half inch of water. Cook in microwave on high for 12 minutes. Scoop out insides.
Mix in 1-2 T Pesto {I used this as my fats and Salad dressing for dinner since it has a lot of Olive Oil in it}
Add chopped chicken. You could also top with fresh cherry tomatoes, but I didn’t have any.
My kids even tried it and liked it! Let me know how you like it!
Have an awesome Tuesday!
I’m grateful for all this info you’re sharing. I’m seriously considering following in your footsteps in the next week or two. I wish I had the willpower to start before Halloween. Please keep sharing. I’m reading and learning from you. Thanks!
I do think your plan is really a good one. I am staying with some grandchildren who already eat basically like this; so hopefully this won’t be hard to follow. There really aren’t many treats around until Halloween. Thanks for sharing this recipe and way to go for week two.
Blessings!
