Going out challenge....easier than I expected :)

Breakfast started off with Oatmeal, cinnamon, flaxseed and a little sprinkly of raw sugar...then we were out of the house!  I had errands to run and was nervous about being out and driving by fast food and such...temptation?  NOPE!  I looked at those places totally different driving by....so I think my mind is catching up to what I should be eating and feeding to my girls :) 
For snack, I brought some almonds and grapes....for Lunch, since we were so far from home, I planned to go to Whole Foods in Roseville and I got a very healthy salad (made at the salad bar) with balsamic vinaigrette...although the dressing looked creamier..so i'm wondering what kind it was (bottle was white and had nothing on it except a label that said what dressing)....it was probably the super fatty one...great!  I didn't notice the consistency until I had poured it on my salad....oh well-again, I tried!
Came home and put girls for naps and popped in Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD...Day 1.  Alyson came out when I was starting it and as I was doing the cardio circuits...she would run around me and say, "Go MAMA, GO MAMA!"...cute :) That 20 min routine kicked my bootie (in a good way of course), but I do find it hard to do the jumping jacks since I live in an upstairs apartment.
For dinner (pictured above), I shredded chicken and mixed it with salsa...put on those thin whole wheat buns with some spinach and fresh tomatoes...I also diced up fresh beets (thank you Beth!) and laid those and baby carrots on foil lined baking sheet and spread a bit of balsamic dressing...baking was a bit tricky for me...but after about 45 min (at 350 and stirring around every 5-10 min) they were about done....the girls LOVED the Beets!!  I did, too....they taste like candy...so sweet!  As for the chicken sandwich...I loved it...Molly tolerated it (taking a few good bites upon my insisting) and Alyson didn't touch it...I told her she had to at least try one bite and if she didn't like it, then she and I would know and I would try something different next time..she tried a bite...guess what??  SHE LIKED IT!!  Had 3 more good bites....yay :) 
I'm amazed at Alyson actually....she LOVES McDonalds...and not once has she asked me to stop there when we drove around today...we even talked about it and she said it's not good for our bodies and I told her that's right...once in awhile we can have little treats...but day to day-we should be making the best choices that we can!
