Chicken Caesar Lite Pita

I'm starting to feel a bit "soft" in the middle.  This is not a good feeling.  Normally, running sheds those unwanted areas in a jif.  Cycling outdoors can normally take care of anything within 2 days.  However, it's still freezing out so no outdoor biking (unless I want to kill myself on the 2 inches of ice on our roads).  Plus, I've been taking it easy since the Goofy's Challenge.  My body needs the rest to recover from the stress I gave it a few weekends ago.  I've been attending my normal spin classes, kickboxing, strength training and doing pilates, but it's not the same... *Sigh.

Fortunately, 18 weeks of Half-Ironman training commences this Monday.  Phew. 

But, "my recovery period" is no excuse for my eating habits.  Honestly, I've slacked with intuitive eating.  I've grabbed chocolate moreso than normal.  And, I'm stressed.  I'm stressed because of effing school.  It's ALREADY taking its toll on my sleep and eating habits.  However, the second that training starts, I hope to be back on board within a week.

Tonight I decided to make up some chicken caesar pitas.  Technically, they are chicken caesar "lite" because I use the "lite" pre-packaged mix.  You can basically use any wrap/pita bread that you want.  I love the Flat-Out variety.  They are incredibly good and I probably eat a wrap 6/7 days for lunch.  I've used them for pizza before.  They are so easy to pile veggies in and take on the run!  Plus, they have tons of awesome recipes on their site for different kinds of wraps.

Someone was moody because they did not get any Fancy Feast tonight.  Someone is starting to get a little bit spoiled... and "soft" in the middle.  So, someone is also going to need to slim down and lay off the Fancy Feast.
