I have decided to keep my goals the same this week. My thought is that I should master these and have them be habits before I move on.
1. Drink 8-8oz glasses of water.
2. Eat breakfast and lunch at the table with no distractions.
3. Cardio 30 min x3 – T, Th and Sat at the Y 3:30, if J can’t go with me then at the Y 6am.
4. Journal food/calories. This keeps me grounded and it helps me to eat more balanced.
5. Take 5 mins a day for me, meditation or just peace.
I wish I took some pictures, last night I made the best pasta dish. At least I thought it was the best! Frank liked it, but not as much as I did.
OK I made this up so there aren’t any real measurements. I’ll call it:
Yummy Raspberry Turkey Pasta
- 6 – 8 oz ground turkey
- 1/2 a large onion
- non-stick spray
- portabella mushrooms
- frozen broccoli
- cooked whole wheat pasta
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- marjoram
- garlic powder
- oregano
- olive oil
1. I sprayed the pan with no-stick spray, threw in the ground turkey, onion (for the onion I just cut it in half and then pushed the circles out, but you can cut it however you want) and mushrooms. Cook until turkey is browned.
2. Add the frozen broccoli, salt, pepper, marjoram, garlic powder and oregano. Put a lid on it and let the broccoli cook, stir a couple of times.
3. When the broccoli is cooked put the past on top of the turkey mixture. Pour some raspberry balsamic vinegar and olive oil (it was prob 1 T of balsamic Vin and maybe 1 1/2 to 2 T of olive oil) on top of the pasta. Cover and let it warm up (my pasta was cold). Toss to mix then serve!
Makes 2 – 4 servings.
I don’t know calories, but you could plug it into spark people with your measurements.
Salad sounded good with the above dish so I pulled out a bunch of romaine lettuce and it was totally wilted, I almost threw it out, but then I cut off the bottom and set it in a deep dish bowl with cold water. Came out this morning and it is so crisp! I knew that this trick worked with celery, happy to find that it works with the romaine lettuce too!
My back is starting to have a twinge. Left side with a bit of pain down the back of my leg. Yup I believe it’s sciatica. It started last night, but fortunately this morning it feels better, but it still feels like it could go either way. I have to go to Orlando today and I’m hoping that the car ride doesn’t aggravate it!
