Apple Cranberry Chicken Salad

So last night I thought I'd try to make my favorite salad that I get from multiple restaurants (Not to mention fast food :S)...
Red Robin calls it "Apple Harvest Salad"
Wendy's Calls it "Mediterranean Salad" (I think)
And Sonoma Chicken coop Calls it "Cranberry Apple" (not sure about that one either)

But either way, I love this salad so much because it's so juicy, sweet and has so many flavors to it that mix so well! So I made it last night...

1 head of romaine lettuce (chopped)
Half a bag of Cherry Craisins
1 6oz packet of Pine Nuts (roasted in the pan until golden brown)
One 6 oz packet of Feta Cheese
3 Fillets of skinless boneless Chicken (cooked in a pan until brown)
4 Apples Cut and diced
Balsamic Vinaigrette (However much you like to put on it)


This salad almost made me go into a stoma coma.. ALMOST but instead it made me pleasantly full! My protein shake I had for dessert on the other hand, Had me laying on the couch because I thought liquids couldn't get you full. Boy was I wrong! Maybe it was the combination of that and the salad.. who's to know? I'm trying to do better at that!

Tuesday I started back On Sparkpeople.. I love that site! It keeps me so accountable and it helps me log my food in for the day. It's like facebook kind of. A social network, but with a health aspect to it. I hope you join me on there. We can be accountability partners on there ;) My username on there is Melitriot.

Still at my Dads work -_- This place is a tad bit depressing... He's dead and gone and I'm still here doing absolutely nothing...

Money is grim. And I so badly want to start looking for a CNA position somewhere in the bay area... I want to have a stable paycheck... It's terrible here.

I seriously need to do yoga and meditation.. My mind and body is so out of focus...

I'm doing better at taking my vitamins though. That's helped me feel better by a whole lot!

But it's not enough... I need to start exercising!!!! gah!
