'Detox Day'...

"Monday night/salad night" has been a long standing tradition in our house.  I've always felt that it was a good way to 'detox' from any extra weekend calories and to get the week started on the right foot.  Salad night took a weeeeeeeeeee bit of a hiatus during my "carbs-only" days (and *ahem* a few months after), but I think we're finally back on scheduleJ  And last night was one of our ALL-TIME FAVORITES: Grilled Chicken Club Salad with Guacamole Dressing...

Besides lettuce, you've got your:

• Grilled chicken coated in Montreal steak seasoning...

• A couple crumbled slices of bacon... 

• A few extra veggies...

• And of course, the yummy guacamole dressing (1 avocado whirled up with 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, a squirt of lime juice & salt)

Crisp, crunchy, cool & creamy describes this salad perfectly.  Nothing beats the sorta-spicy chicken combined with the coooool avocado dressing mixed with the smokey bites of bacon bits.  Just divine!

And since we're talking about all things 'detox' this morning, I thought I'd show you my recent Pinterest trial. (yes, welcome late to the party for someone who JUST figured out Pinterest about a month agoJ)

This water mixed with cucumber, lemon & mint leaves is suppose to help you loose weight as well as detox the body...

And better yet?  It's ACTUALLY TASTY!  I know!  I was surprised myself.  But by steeping the water & 'fillers' overnight, it gives the water a cool and refreshing taste.  And if not for anything else, it helps you down A LOT of water a lot faster.  It's so easy to get bored with plain water and drinking nearly 2 liters of it daily will DEFINITELY help you loose weight...cucumbers or no cucumbersJ

What are some of your 'weight loss tips & tricks?'

Have a great Tuesday, everyone!
