I just made the best lunch. You can probably tell by looking at my blog that Im an avocado lover.
To make this healthy, yummy lunch you will need:
1/4 of an avocado
2 slices of tomato
1/2 of a chicken breast
mayo
red pepper
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
salt/pepper/garlic to taste
whole grain bread
Cook the chicken in a little bit of oil and balsamic. Sprinkle with salt pepper garlic. Slice avocado and tomatoes. Toast the bread and spread with mayo that has been mixed with a little bit of red pepper. Pile tomatoes, avocado and chicken on bread and enjoy.

 Wall Pushups: If you’re just getting started with pushups, the wall pushup (or, as shown here, on a stair railing) is a great way to give your body support while you practice your form. By staying upright, you don’t have to lift all your body weight. Once you perfect this version, you can move on to a more challenging version below. |
 Pushups on the Knees: For this version, you’re on your knees with the back flat and the abs contracted. Being on your knees makes the move easier than when you’re on your toes. |
 Modified BOSU Balance Trainer Pushup: This pushup is shown using a BOSU, which adds a core challenge but also can make the move a little easier, since your upper body is elevated. You can also do this on a step or platform. |
 Pushups: Traditional pushups are done on your hands and toes, a real challenge for the upper body as well as the core. If you having trouble doing full pushups, try keeping one knee down for support. |
 Pushups on the ball: Decline pushups are more advanced and placing your feet on a ball will add even more intensity. You can always put the knees/thighs on the ball to make the move easier. |
