Italian Feta Cheese Pasta Salad

As the weather changes and spring time approaches, I enjoy eating salads. I have been going to the Fresh Market and purchasing their pasta salad. 
Once I performed a quick inventory of my pantry, I realized that I had all of the ingredients to make some pasta salad. One of the reasons why I go to the Fresh Market to purchase my pasta salad deals with portion control. I only purchase a small serving, and this helps me stay on task. However, whenever I make it at home,which is extremely rare, I take all of the pasta salad and place it in individual containers. I also add some type of meat so that the pasta salad will have some protein added to it. In the salad that is pictured I used:
2 cups of spiral pasta 
1/2 cucumber diced up
1/2 cup of olives 
Italian drsssing
1 small container of feta cheese
1 /2 package of mini pepperoni

However, I will continue to put one foot in the front of the other one and continue to move forward‼️

Lately my favorite veggie has been zucchini squash and yellow squash. I take  a little bit of olive oil,a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper and sauté it... Yummy! I take the squash,and I put it in half cup containers. Therefore, I have my Veggies prepped for the week. Do you meal prep? It save me a lot of time, and also assist me in making healthy choices.

Weight gain

This week I have been off track, eating out due to vacation, not limiting portion sizes, not drinking all of my decaffeinated tea, coffee, and water. So this morning, I got up drank 8 ounces of water, took my vitamins, and headed to the gym. I am going to call this: # operation HELL no move that scale!!!! I have gained 5 pounds! I am sure is water and sodium retention! However, I am back on track. I will: drink at least 64 oz of water, up my protein intake, get in all my vitamins, and measure my portions. I will not eat out all week! #operationHELLnomove that scale is in full effect.
