Staying on track when super duper stressed

As we enter these final couple of weeks before the wedding, I find myself getting more and more stressed. Everything is just being difficult and not going as planned. I am trying to keep myself on track as much as I can

Monday Breakfast was at work on Monday because of an 8:30 AM meeting. I had a yogurt parfait topped with granola and strawberries and some coffee. For lunch I brought a salad topped with salmon salad. I made the salmon salad with diced pickled jalapenos and Trader Joes Jalapeno Greek Yogurt Dip. This was a great alternative to mayo, but still added a creamy texture. For dinner I made a veggie wrap and roasted some broccoli.

Tuesday For breakfast I made a smoothie with blueberries and protein powder. Lunch was the same salad as Monday's lunch. For dinner I ate leftover Caribbean Stew and some salmon salad.

Wednesday Breakfast was a ham, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. For lunch I roasted potatoes, asparagus, onion and pepper. Once the veggies were roasted I put them on top of a bed of arugula and brought some pomegranate vinegar. I brought a side of watermelon also. For dinner I had the rest of the Caribbean Stew that I made with a small salmon wrap.

Thursday Breakfast was another breakfast sandwich with coffee and 2% milk. Lunch was roasted veggies over arugula and balsamic vinegar. I paired it with a side of watermelon.  For dinner I grilled chicken breasts seasoned with Northwoods Fire.  I also make cauliflower puree, roasted onions and spicy baked beans.

Friday Breakfast was a breakfast sandwich and Lunch was another salad. Not overly exciting or worth noting. For dinner we took the leftover chicken and made Asian Salads. Cabbage base with carrot, mandarian oranges, water chestnuts, cucumber,  wonton strips and asian sesame dressing. It was such a delicious meal!

Saturday Welcome to summer! Andy and I got to running errands early after I got home from my weight watchers meeting. Breakfast was an iced latte at my favorite coffee shop. When we got home I made another asian salad similar to Friday nights. Andy and I decided we wanted a real welcome to summer meal for we decided on turkey burgers.
