After a fantastic massage, my legs are great but my back is still a mess from my neck to my lower back. I got super lucky and was able to get in a chiropractor over lunch....let's pray this is the last doc for awhile!! I gotta get this spine figured out cause it's giving me migraines with the pain at the base of my neck.
COOKING AROUND THE WORLD
Inspired by all of your blogs this week... it was time to cook up some Mexican and Chinese. First up black bean enchiladas! D wanted chicken in his, well lucky dog that he is I cooked up some chicken for stiry fry. I used these fantastic whole wheat tortillas that are only 50 cals, but lots of fiber! Stir fry was super easy with baked chicken, a bag of mixed frozen veggies and Kinkoman Stir Fry sauce.
I wasn't super duper creative with the cooking, but we have some good eats for this week! I also picked up a spaghetti squash and some mushrooms for a meal later. I have managed to stay around 1800 calories the past couple days, so I guess my appetite did indeed drop.----------------------------
MORNING TO GO
I started today with a new mix to my Green Smoothie and this one was electric green, finally! 2 cups spinach, handful romaine, 1 cup cucumbers, 1 cup frozen mixed fruit (pineapple and cantalope mostly) 2 tbsp Coconut Mix from Matilida's Kitchen. I mixed it up and brought it along to work, boy I love starting my morning this way it keeps me from snacking on other things!
GIVEAWAY REMINDERSDon't forget to enter the YouBar and YouShake contest...I am in love with these bars! Had another one this morning since I am still woefully without my Naturally Nutty...and mmm mm it was good stuff!
Matilida's Kitchen giveaway also ends at 6Pm!

Glad you went to the chiropractor. I always find I need 2-3 visits before it really helps, so hang in there!
glad you had a good massage and chiro visit! Anything to heal up :)
I am in KC and a runner (lol - I still laugh when I call myself a 'runner') and would love to know who does your massages since you always rave about her....
thank you!
Hehehe to "I may love her more than my husband." If only they (husbands) knew how important those magic words are to the health of a relationship. ;) Are you sure you're not losing weight? Seems she would definitely notice, and sometimes that happens to me when I can't run (oddly enough)-- esp. since your calories have dropped.
Aren't "You've lost weight" comments the best? hehehe The enchiladas might not be "super duper creative" but they look FAB!
Wow nice green smoothie! :) Ps. I love massages, and I want to go to your girl if she said that you lost weight. ha ha. The other day my grandma told me I was looking frail I was like THANK YOU Grandma! :)
The enchiladas look fantastic! Yum!
I love the "You've lost weight" comments... especially when I'm not trying.
I'm glad your chiropractor visit went well! Up in no time!
The Green smoothie fits nicely into a St Pats theme (but I dont know about the enchiladas)
:)
Haha, sounds like you've lost weight ;)
Delicious looking enchiladas!
Man, i want to go to your massage therapist!
That's the prettiest one yet!
I love they "have you lost weight" question. I always throw it out there when I suspect someone has.
Sounds like you have a good thing going with these green monsters :)
Wow, that one was green!!
Isn't flattery the best!
Nice smoothie and even nicer is a compliment about weight loss! I love those!
my kitchen is painted the color of that smoothie. are they filling?
I am still trying to wrap my mind around the smoothies with romaine and spinach. I know it is healthy, but just doesn't sound that appetizing. I should give it a try as I know you've loved them. The enchiladas, on the other hand, look awesome!
I hope you gave your massage therapist a big ol' kiss! Ha!
Here's hoping the chiro works!
Cucumbers in smoothies! If that's not creative, I don't know what is...
I've got to get in on the daily green smoothie. Maybe you should have a month long challenge see if we could stick to it!
Glad you have a NN replacement! Love those compliments, that's great to hear! Smoothie looks refreshing for sure! Haven't switched it up yet.
I think I'm the one who needs to be asking you for smoothie recipes :) Lately I have been staying with the boring basic spinach/banana/water concoction...I've tried adding strawberries/romaine/almond milk, but nothing that I like really. I'll have to try your recipe - keep 'em coming! I have added some mint to my spinach/banana smoothies and that tastes pretty good. I need to experiment a little more!
I'm going to have to look for those low-cal tortillas. We wouldn't eat if we didn't have tortillas!
I'm glad your massage was great and up-lifting for you!
That is a great-looking green smoothie... just in time for St. Patty's day! Do you juice your stuff, or do you put it in a blender, or...??
Well I love your massage therapist too!
Stop reminding people about your contest. I want to win!!!
Who doesn't want to hear about weight loss? Great job! Love food posts. Yum...spagetti squash
Wow now that is a super green smoothie!!!
Hope you feel better soon! I love your massage therapist too. I need to give mine some pointers! :)
Congrats! It isn't surprising that you've slimmed down (although you always looked fabulous). You PT hard and eat well.
You've inspired me to get a juicer. With summer produce right around the corner it is impossilbe to resist the call. Any reccomendations?
what a nice comment, and a great way to make you feel FAB :) love it!
I love it when I get comments like that...even if they aren't true!
Those green smoothies are looking better and better — yours sounds wonderful !!
omg my neck and shoulders are SO SORE from my massage yesterday... he totally beat me up :) i didnt realize how many knots i had in my neck - yikes!
Yeah, that is definitely the way to make customers feel better about themselves. Every massage therapist should say that!
