Good morning! How is everyone doing this morning? I'm feeling some fire. And guess what I've decided. I've decided that I am just going to put my favorite mix (you know the one - dried cranberries, chocolate chips, almonds and/or sacha inchi) in my plan on a weekly basis. Why you ask? Well, because I LOVE the combination and the reality is that it's not that bad for me and it's a really good TREAT. Dark chocolate is good for you as are dried cranberries due to their high volume of antioxidants. And of course the good fats from almonds and sacha inchi are awesome too. So I have decided to have that once a week. Unless it starts adversely affecting me then I think I'm good. I'll keep you posted on that. And the truth of the matter is that I really, really enjoy that treat. With it in my plan I can fully indulge and enjoy! Whew! Glad I got that off my chest and out there so you all are in the know!
So I'm off to a great start today. I had a killer workout this morning and a great breakfast. And soon my second meal will be ready for my big ol' mouth! Ha ha!

Home for shower and food. My first meal was 5 egg whites and 1/2 cup oatmeal with HOMEMADE salsa!! Yummy! I haven't made salsa forever and let me just tell you how good it was and is and will be since I made a TON! DELICIOUS!! And I love that salsa is so freezable. Oh, yes, there will be many salsa meals to come. In fact I think I'm going to make a bastardized Pescado Veracruzano for dinner tonight. Yummy and perfect for this rainy weather! If I do, I will definitely post the very easy recipe. I'll post my salsa recipe later today as well. It's so rustic and just bursting with flavor. Ooh, I need to take a picture of it. Note to self! Hahahahaha!!!
Have a great day today!

Can't wait for the salsa recipe! I love salsa, although I have to say I've never had it in oatmeal. I wish I had a trader joes or whole foods close to me. You have some great meal plans with interesting foods.
