Time to give the muscles a little break and a little nourishment. Make a healthy meal for yourself, your family, or significant other. Explain what you made and why it's healthy.

Healthy meal = one large

I really don't want you to think that your Don is getting soft, so let's add a two-mile run walk jog for an extra-large.

Bon appétit.

The Don

    Chicken quesadillas with tomatoes, usually I have cheese with them too, but will omit cheese for today, to be more diet-friendly.:flowerforyou:

    We eat breakfast together as a family (hubby and I and 4 teenagers) almost everyday. Usually it is eggs (fresh fromour chickens), with veg's and toast (fresh baked from my kitchen) or steel cut oatmeal with our own canned fruit. We also eat supper together almost every night. We are working hard to not only cook healthly meals but raise our animals in as healthy as possible scenarios - grass fed beef (fed on healthy grass) , no chemical feed for chickens, we are starting to raise pastured pork this year also.

    I also did the bonus of a 2 mile walk this morning while checking calves!
    GO team Paulie!!

    Sorry but this challenge is not working for me today. I have the stomach virus that has made its way through my house now. Yesterday I was doing good getting 1/4 cup of chicken noodle soup in me for the entire day. I still don't have an appetite today and my daughter is also home with me because of the same thing. Everyone muscle in my body is aching right now so I am not sure what I will be able to do today.

    Made two scrambled eggs and two slices bacon for breakfast. Healthier than my usual choices with more protein and less carbs. Will take care if the walk this afternoon.

    Turkey Meatloaf, kind of invented my own variation of it. Used lean ground turkey and added chopped up black beans for nutritional value. Also, baked sweet potato fries. http://stephandclinteatvegetables.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/338/

    Also completed the 2 mile jog (slowly, bahahahaha)

    Fruit salad!
    As long as you do not mind the natural sugar that is coming along!
    Put in what you like and just workout the numbers, also great for breakfast, lunch, snacks or under müsli/ cereals!

    Also notice bananas do not really work in this, at least not in mine *lol*

    Edit: I shared the fruit salade with the In-Laws!

    Made some homemade chicken & rice for dinner tonight minus my usual cream of chicken soup...lowering the already low-cal dish into an even lower calorie one. Kicked it up with some natural herbs and spices. It's actually cooking right now...I think I'll accompany it with a small salad in an olive oil and red wine vinaigrette. Much better than my usual and feeding it to my hubby too. :)

    ***TEAM SACRIMONI***

    All 18 team members walked/ran at least 2.5 miles per person

    Everyone cooked or purchased healthy food choices and explained to me what they made and their interpretation of its nutrional value

    (I apologize for the vague post as copying and pasting 18 responses to message board time consuming & I had a family emergency last night that kept my brain like mush :( )

    I had a friend come into town for a couple of days. We cooked flank steak, honey ginger carrots, ranch vinegar cucumbers, and a small baked potato.

    I was only able to do 1/2 mile walk but it is up from a lot less =)

    I like to keep it simple since I'm the only one who's really trying to eat healthy here in my household. My dinner the last few days has been a BIG salad with a handful of diced ham and a little bit of shredded cheese. Also been eating a TON of fruit lately (bought to much and have been eating it up before it goes bad, that goes for the salad fixing's too.)

    Managed to get in a total of 10 miles walking (most of that was done at work).
