Tonight’s Workout, My Obsession of the Week and Morning Smoothie

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!

 

Last night I finally got back on the treadmill. Like I had mentioned I kind of slacked off with my running during the Holidays. So I decided to start back slow and just jog a mile. When I started I was pretty nervous but as I kept going I remembered why I really do love to run. It is such a stress reliever. I am glad I am back to it! Here is my workout for tonight. ( I am keeping my running this week at just 1 mile)

 

 

Now to my obsession of the week!

 

Whoever came up with yogurt dressing is just brilliant. I was nervous that they would taste like most low fat dressing but they taste like the real deal and ONLY have 45 calories.

 

As you can see I enjoyed the new ranch dressing on my salad with my dinner.

I had spag squash with low sugar marinara and ground turkey. The salad of course was my favorite part. I think I was a rabbit in a past life.

 

Now to my morning smoothie. I sure have missed these. I'm not really sure why I haven't made them lately, maybe because it is FREEZING outside. But this week it hasn't been bad so I have been whipping up some yummy smoothies.

 

Here is this mornings.

 

What you will need

handful of spinach

1 kiwi

2 1/2 pieces unsweetened pineapple

1/2 of a lemon (juice)

1 banana

1 cup of light vanilla almond milk

ice

 

 

It hit the spot! I can't wait to come up with new ones! I will definitely be sharing these more often!

Something Important & Mediterranean Pasta

I have been wanting to post about something very important lately and I feel like I have so much to say but yet when I begin to type what I want to say nothing comes out. Since I have started LittleBlueDress I have been able to express many things but it takes a while for me to be able to find the words. I pray that my words come to me soon because nothing beats the feeling than getting it all out. But for now I will share a new recipe

Mediterranean Pasta

 

What you will need

spag. squash

3 chicken breast

reduced fat feta cheese

rotel tomatoes (with juice)

onion

rep pepper

oregano

parsley

crushed red peeper

Tuscan seasoning

extra virgin olive oil

1/2 lemon (juice)

3 garlic cloves (minced)

Fresh spinach (not pictured)

 

 

Start by cooking your spag. squash on 400'

 

Then begin by cooking your chicken. Season your chicken with the Tuscan seasoning.

 

 

While that is cooking chop up you veggies

 

Once my chicken was cooked I shredded it and cooked it for a few more minutes to make sure all the pieces were cooked. Then I set aside in large mixing bowl.

 

 

Then I mixed my olive oil and garlic and began cooking until garlic was browned,

 

then added my veggies and oregano.

 

Once they were ready I mixed the chicken, veggies, parsley, and lemon juice.

 

After my spag. sqaush was cooked I lined my baking dish with it.

 

Then added a layer of fresh spinach,

 

rotel tomatoes with juice,

 

then my mixture, and topped it off the reduced fat feta cheese.

 

I let cook for about 45 minutes

 

Then sat back and enjoyed. This is perfect for my work lunch!!
