I like the chicken, salsa, and quacamole idea !

 I use a fresh salsa that I pick up at the grocery store (because I'm to lazy to chop veggies). Its not cooked, its just finley chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, red and green peppers, onions, cilantro and lime juce.....I buy it by the bucket (or would if they sold it that way) and use it on salads, meats, everything.....I'll post a picture tomorrow.....its delish!!

 What store do you buy that at and whats the name brand?

 I get it at Stop & Shop, its actually the store brand

 Did you make the BBQ if so how?

 It was left over BBQ ribs and chicken, just the usual thing, nothing special. Well, special cause I didn't have to cook it! :)

You are doing so good!

I had some carbs today but not really over the top.
I get up early every morning to work out.
I just cant seem to get it in gear after my day starts.
this morning I ran 3.5 miles and walked on incline another 1.5
then I did a series of upper body weight lifting.
Not bad for being in a hotel.

Sticking to protein first, then veggies, fruit and then carbs if I have room.

Drank a ton of water today mostly at my workout but also during the day had about 24 oz more.

Vites in the morning before work out and more calcium during the day.

Water: 40oz so far, but the night is young!
