You know what I love? Not paying for shipping or delivery charges. Luckily, I’ve got a ShopRunner membership that I snagged last year. That little membership gets me unlimited free two-day shipping from tons of online retailers. What I didn’t realize when I got the membership, however, is that I can also get free delivery from Domino’s!

I know it sounds like something so negligible, but something just gets me about paying to have pizza delivered to me and then having to pay a tip to the driver on top of that because they don’t get any of the delivery charges. I know it’s silly – just let me be! It doesn’t matter, of course, since I have ShopRunner and get free delivery now.

So, let’s keep this short and sweet. I want to share this goodness with you. First things first – hop over to ShopRunner.com and get yourself a 30-day free trial (not required for the giveaway) so you don’t miss out on the free shipping! Next, let’s have a giveaway to show off some of the great retailers that work with ShopRunner!

Throughout this past week, I have found that making wholesome choices is harder than it sounds. Not because the options aren’t available – because I have little self-control. I have big-time trouble saying “no” to things that I really like. For example, McDonald’s offers a variety of whole-grain oatmeal choices on its breakfast menu, available all day. The Fruit & Maple Oatmeal and the Apple Cinnamon Walnut Oatmeal are both 100% natural whole grain oats, rich in fiber and freshly prepared for you. But, what do I pick? The Bacon, Egg and Cheese Bagel…..twice in the past week. Ugh. It’s so tasty and toasty and it’s so hard to say NO!

I can report, however, that this morning when my mom and I took the girls out for breakfast before church, I made a wiser choice and had an Egg McMuffin (which is equally tasty and toasty). I also had the delicious Fruit & Walnuts on the McDonald’s menu. You can’t tell from the picture, but the walnuts are candied! That’s great for me because I generally don’t like walnuts at all. Even with the candied walnuts, it only weighs in at 210 calories and is definitely filling enough for breakfast.

One of the greatest things about the “Wholesome Choices” Blogger Program is that I was provided with a month of membership to LA Fitness. So, I’ve got the resources now to get rid of my excuses for not exercising. I will say that I re-sprained my left ankle (minor) earlier this week (curbs are dangerous), but I’m not going to let it get me down. I have a workout buddy (Shylee) who is going to help keep me accountable and get me moving.

So, I’m doing my best to make wholesome choices throughout my day. I’m finding it very hard to say “no” to all of the food that I love so much, but I’m working on it. Really working on it.

What are some of the wholesome choices you’ve made this week?

Ingredients

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (cubed or bite-size pieces)
• 7-inch Whole Wheat Tortillas
• Black Beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
• Whole Kernel Corn (frozen)
• Vegetable Oil
• Non Stick Cooking Spray
• Red Gold Tomato & Green Chiles (canned)
• Shredded Lettuce
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• Sour Cream
• Fajita Seasoning

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place your tortillas on a cookie sheet and coat both sides with the cooking spray. Bake for about 10 minutes or until they start to crisp up. You’ll notice they get nice and puffy, too. {Traditionally tostadas are fried – we just cut a bunch of fat out!)
2. In a non-stick skillet coated in cooking spray, cook your corn (still frozen) until you start to see it browning. Don’t let it sit too long or it will burn! Just keep the corn moving and let it brown up real pretty. Remove the corn from the skillet and set it aside in a bowl.
3. Put about 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in the pan and let it heat up. Put in your chicken (4 ounces per serving) and fajita seasoning to taste {I made my own fajita seasoning using chili powder, paprika, a crushed chicken bouillon cube, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and cumin – check out this fajita seasoning recipe for the proportions).
4. Once the chicken is cooked through, add the corn back in, along with the beans and the Red Gold Diced Tomatoes and Green Chiles (drained) and let it heat through.
5. Now that you have nice crispy tortillas and a yummy chicken mixture, put them all together however you’d like. I tend to put my tortilla in a bowl and then put the chicken mixture on top and then just mix it all together (the tortilla will break up really easily at this point).
6. Top with 1 tablespoon of sour cream and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese and voila! You’ve got yourself a Chicken Tostalada!

Don’t mind this picture. I made this on a whim and didn’t have frozen corn or lettuce on hand, so I threw in some green pepper for tastiness!

And, to the very best of my ability, here is some nutrition information (as it was logged in MyFitnessPal). This is my slightly modified version, but you get the idea.

I was provided with Red Gold Tomato products to incorporate into my food choices. I was under no obligation to write about them or use them. I just happened to find the perfect way to use this type!

A few weeks ago, I told you that I had signed up for the MapMyFitness Quaker Challenge to complete 15 workouts in 30 days.

To be perfectly honest, I haven’t come anywhere near that goal…YET. I have definitely fallen off the wagon, but I know I can get back on it and start kicking butt again. Tomorrow, I’m starting the MapMyFitness Quaker Challenge again and I’m going to really work hard to hit that goal of 15 workouts in 30 days.

The best part about this challenge is that it syncs with my iMapMyFitness app that I use every time I go walking. So, when I go out to take a quick walk, I just tap “Record Workout” and it automatically tracks my distance, duration, pace and calories burned. Then it updates the MapMyFitness Quaker Challenge, so I don’t even have to remember to log it there, too!

So, will you join me in this challenge? If you joined up last time I wrote about it, how did you do?

February is National Heart Health month. Even if it’s only 5 more minutes a day, what extra step will you take to stay fit?
