Weigh-in and Chicken Salad on Tomato

by

Chicken Salad on Tomato 700x400

It’s another Saturday and another weigh-in. Ye old scale awaiteth. I’m on my next goal run which is to lose 5 pounds by Thanksgiving. That’s 13 weeks to go and of those 13 weeks, five weeks include trips. So there are challenges ahead to get even 5 more pounds off. Ideally I’d like to get 6 pounds as that would greatly affect my BMI. But I’m taking one day at a time, one week at a time. The scale sits poised ready to tell me the good news for this week.

Hey, did you see the delicious looking salad in the picture above? It makes a good lunch. I’ll give you the basic ingredients.

Large Tomatoes cut almost to the bottom so they flare out

Chicken chopped in a chopper fairly fine. Probably one chicken breast for two tomatoes.

Mayonnaise amount to your liking

Onion – diced

Celery – diced

Salt and Pepper

Any other spice you like – I think Charlene put some oregano on this batch.

Mix the ingredients and put a scoop in the middle of the tomato.
