It has now been almost two weeks of this current “anti migraine” diet. Much to my surprise, I have not keeled over yet. I have had to become creative with my meals, however.
Plain Greek yogurt with honey and pumpkin pie spice
Lentil Wrap with Beef Pho
For dinner this evening I made a great marinade for some chicken kabobs.
Chicken Kabob Marinade
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp crushed red pepper (I like it spicy, if you don’t do less)
- season with salt and pepper
Mix all ingredients together in a container. Add 1 lb of diced chicken. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours. Add to kabobs with red peppers, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Grill on medium-high for about 10 minutes. (If you are using metal skewers be careful taking them off the grill. Chad burnt himself. He also has reminded me about this five times since dinner 🙂 ) 
We supplemented these tasty kabobs with some kale chips, a roasted tomato and sweet potato gnocchi. I’m not a potato fan but I like sweet potatoes. These things kinda rocked. 
I have gotten in a rut with my workouts and running. Although I was a trainer for years sometimes I find it impossible to get motivated to do what I know I need to do. It’s a good thing I have an ex-personal trainer for a husband. Chad wrote me a fun little plan for this week. Day one was a two-mile run at a quicker pace (I’m trying to get faster) followed immediately by 20 minutes on the step mill (I’m also trying to continue the meltdown). I ended with some abs an foam rolling. Tomorrow is leg day and I am already feeling sore just thinking about it!
