Basil Chicken Salad Wrap

The last few months I’ve written about the Countdown to a Better You program, which has helped me stay on track with diet and fitness, and has kept me motivated for summer! A few things, along with taking good care of my body and exercising, has been  making good food choices. I’ve set some goals with fitness, drinking more water, hula-hooping 10 minutes a day, and regular weight training at the gym. My workout partner and I just celebrated 1 year with weights at the gym. I made a yummy juice consisting of pear, celery, ginger and cucumber. Delicious!

So when Tyson Foods asked me to team up with their Tyson® Grilled and Ready® brand to participate in a Countdown to a Better You program, I jumped on board. I’m already disciplined with a workout plan of weights and cardio 3x a week, and then running the other 2 days, but any kind of NEW accountability helps! Plus, I like to encourage others with a healthy lifestyle.

If you’re motivated by reading blogs, working out with your friends, new healthy recipes, or the fact that summer is coming – then head over to the Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Facebook page and check out the Countdown to a Better You tab. You can follow along on their page with guilt-free meal ideas.
