Hi Healthies ♥

Today is day one of operation "off hiney"..
Ridiculous how much more energetic i feel once i have gotten myself out there exercising.. And my eating has been on target too.

my daughter & i just got home from a walk around the lake.
We gabbled, took pictures and i really loved getting that time with her.
And this is one foot in the right direction for getting back on track.

i CAN do this!

PS - lusciouskiwi i love shrimp in my salads, it's yummy!
But i would love some healthy shrimp recipes as well if anyone has any.

I got the above recipe from Cooking Light. I've had a similar dish that was really good, so that's why I chose that one to post.

However, if you go HERE you will find about 20 more quick and healthy shrimp recipes. There's even a dish with grits! Click on the name of the dish to link to the recipe.
