I went to the gym this morning getting there a little later at 5:30 rather than 5. I put in a pretty good workout focusing on Abs today (posted below). I'm going strong jogging at 4 minutes a day this week. We'll see about adding another minute next week, considering I haven't had a full week of workouts just yet. I'm going to go tomorrow of course and try to go on Saturday morning as well.. but since they don't open until 8am on the weekends, we'll just have to see how Nora/schedule is.
Workout today:
| TIME | EXERCISE | REPS | WEIGHT | SETS |

The past 2 weeks have felt really crazy at the gym b/c I'm not really following any routines. Last week, I knew I wanted to focus on cardio.. so I kind of threw the weight training out the window. This week, my schedule/routine has been all out of whack and I've been thinking about the beach so I've been focusing on arms/abs/cardio. This weekend, I'm going to re-do my workout from 2 weeks ago and add more cardio in place of some of the weight training so it's more balanced. Then maybe, just maybe, I'll start regaining a bit of sanity. (You may have noticed by now, but I'm a little OCD and anal retentive.. and when things go off course, it throws my whole life out of balance!)
Dinner last night:
I made Turkey Burgers with sauteed eggplant and mushrooms (recipe below) and sweet potato fries. I made the simple guacamole to go on the burgers and I was bad and had like 10 tortilla chips with guac before dinner. I ate a turkey burger patty (no bun) with a slice of tomato and some fresh guac on top with the eggplant and mushrooms. No sweet pot. fries.. still trying to stay low carb.
Recipe:
Eggplant and Mushrooms
1 Eggplant, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
1c Mushrooms, chopped
1tbs Red Wine Vinegar
1 to 2tbs minced garlic (I used about 2)
1tbs EVOO
1/2c Fat Free Feta Cheese
Squeeze of Lemon Juice
S&P
Dash of Dried Oregano (optional)
-Peel/chop the Eggplant and chop Mushrooms and put into a large bowl.
-Squeeze juice of 1/2 lemon over veggies
-Heat EVOO in large skillet/saute pan and add veggies
-Season with S&P, Oregano and vinegar and let cook (stirring frequently) for approx 10-15 minutes, until veggies are tender (eggplant will be a brownish color)
-Remove from heat, add Feta and toss to combine
-Serve warm!
I thought it was yummy and Nora ate it too!
