Happy Healthy Monday
Another week has passed and I still feel I am playing catch up. Good news is that my knee is starting to feel better. Yeah. So this week I hope to do something light, like my Wii or some WAH stuff. I really need to get that WAH kit. 
Somehow since I last weighed in I have lost 4 lbs. Don’t ask me how because I have no clue but I will take it and run. I have joined the Shrinkvivor challenge on Shrinkingjeans so I am excited to do this challenge. Hope it will keep me motivated and not get kicked to Exile Island. LOL
This past weekend I wasn’t well at all. Had all kinds of dizzy spells so I didn’t get a chance to get to the store. SO my goal this week is to find at least 2 recipes to make, new ones, and get to the store to stock up on healthy foods. Our house is pretty bare.
Also this week is get back to drinking that water. I miss my Kim, although I dont’ have as much time to Twitter with this new job but I do get on a time or 2 or 3 or 4 during the day so I don’t feel so out of the loop.
Okay back to work for me.. Here is a recipe for you.
Pesto Chicken & Vegetable Kebabs
Grill up some wholesome fun with this flavorful recipe for Pesto Chicken & Vegetable Kebabs. If you are a vegetarian this would be easy to make all veggies.
Marinated in a robust pesto sauce, these skewers of tender chicken pieces and seasoned vegetables make a colorful and appetizing entrée.
Served with a fresh salad, these kebabs are a perfect addition to the summer season.

I think I gained 4 pounds just looking at that meal. Take care of that knee. I hurt my knees and shoulders in college and the only good thing I can say about it is that I know when a cold front is coming before the weather man does.
Take care.
