Plan for the week:
Add veggies. Eat 1 cup of beans daily. Get in more steps every day - goal is 10,000 per day and I am going to try to get steps in every hour, even if it is just jumping jacks in my office. (Thanks VeggieJunkie for the idea!).

Very easy bean recipe: 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained. 1 can of green beans, rinsed and drained. 1 small jar of salsa. Dump all in a bowl, mix. Makes a great side dish and no cooking. I might also add a can of chickpeas rinsed and drained.

Very easy chicken recipe: 2-4 pounds of skinless boneless chicken breast. 2 lemons, sliced thin. 2 oranges slice thin. 1 onion sliced thin. Put the chicken into a baking dish. Top with the lemons, oranges, and onion. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil if you want. Salt and pepper. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F until chicken is a;most cooked through (this will depend on the size of your chicken pieces. Remove foil, turn the chicken so it is on top of the flavoring. Pour 1 or 2 cups of broth into the bottom of the pan. Bake another 10 minutes or so to heat up the broth. Remove the chicken, strain the liquid.

My trainer has gone AWOL physically but he texts me almost every day and checks online for my attendance at the gym and has his staff watching out for me (he makes sure I get water, towel, and treats for my workout!). He is also cooking for me, 4 meals a week.

The best thing so far is that he signed me up for physical therapy and my chronic back pain is going away. I used to wake up every morning with an ache, and now it comes up later when I am slouching in my office or dancing without paying attention to my posture.

Have a great Monday!

Great planning. I usually toss beans in my salads. I keep a bowl in the fridge full of beans. Easy Peasy.

I do love beans <3 White beans make a nice color contrast in salads. Can't make a pot of hearty chili without kidney beans and can't live without my hummus w/garbanzo beans!!

Add a little Italian salad dressing to your bean mixture. So good!! I make big bowls of it with lots of different kinds of beans and let is sit in the fridge for a go to dish. It's called Cowboy Caviar.
