Well; hello there! How are you??
So, I'm needing your help with today's topic. As many of you know; I hurt my knee as I've been training for my half marathon...which is on May 16th (12 days and counting). So, this week, I need to the swelling (size of a melon now down to an egg) down...which means; NO working out & rest, ice, tylenol, elevation; baby my knee! Which means...this week for weight loss, I really need to focus on what I eat; which I find is the hardest part! I can run for miles to burn off a blizzard...but now I can't! Sooooo....I can write down what I eat to be aware- but I'm too lazy;or well; am lacking that desire...so, I'm asking you for help- any easy-to-make meals that are filled with fiber and protein (I'm a meat hater) that you can share with me and the group?!?! HELP!!!
I hope this week life is treating you well; and I hope you meet the challenge I set (of course I won't be now-phooey!) Take care all!

Lynsey...I have had this wonderful little wrap that I just love to death. I know you will also enjoy it and for you I will even add in some tomatos. They sell these lovely wraps called "flat outs". They have them in different flavors like sun dried tomato. The wrap themselves have at least 9 grams of protein in them and they also have lots of fiber (but since they are not in front of me right now I can't quote how much). Anways here is what i do...
ReplyDeleteTake the wrap, microwave it for like 20 seconds. Put on some hummus (usually sun dried tomato hummus) then I add the combined below mixture.
Blackened corn
Black beans
Red Onion
Cilantro
Tomoatos (this is added for you)
Mix all that together with some lime juice and you have a great little salsa spread
I add this mixture the wrap and hummus. It is so good!!!
Hope this is helpful for you :)
I have a wonderful recipe that I LOVE! It's so refreshing with summer coming...although it doesn't appear to be getting here anytime soon based on the weather this past week.
