Tired Thursday

Well this is day 2 of sleepless nights from a sick little girl.  Last night was particularly worse, the poor little thing was coughing ALL night and kept waking up crying for me. 
Needless to say, I didn't make it to the gym this morning.  I also didn't get to take a walk last night, as Nora didn't go down for her nap until right before I got home from work yesterday :(

I'm not feeling good today.  I need a good night's sleep, a kick-ass workout and a solid day of great nutrition.  Last night, I had some chips and guacamole before dinner.  Dinner itself was good.. I made ground turkey tacos and I ate mine as a salad with Romaine Lettuce as opposed to tortillas. 
Recipes:
Turkey Tacos
Meat:
1lb Ground Turkey, thawed
1can Diced tomatoes with jalapenos, drained and lightly rinsed
1tsp Cumin
1tsp Chili Powder

3/4c Cherry Tomatoes, chopped
1tbs Garlic, minced
1/4lg Red Onion, diced
Handful of Cilantro, chopped
Zest and Juice of 1/2 Lime
Salt & Pepper

Toppings:
Fat Free Cheddar Cheese
Fat Free Greek Yogurt
Romain Lettuce
Fresh Guacamole

-Brown Turkey in skillet (no oil needed, meat is moist)
-When 3/4 cooked, add seasoning and tomatoes
-Continue to cook until fully browned and most of the juice/water has cooked out

-Combine all ingredients for salsa - season to taste

Serve:
If using tortillas:
-Spread Greek Yogurt on tortilla, sprinkle cheese, then meat mixture, salsa, lettuce and guac.
-Then eat it!
If not using tortillas:
-Put a handful of romaine lettuce in bowl then a scoop of meat mixture, salsa, sprinkle a bit of cheese and dollup of greek yogurt and guac.

It was yummy and relatively easy.

I feel really.. well, fat, today.  The lack of exercise this week is killing me.  I know that I have no one to blame but myself - if I wanted to do it that badly, I would get to the gym regardless of how tired I was... but I haven't.  I came in to work today determined to re-focus on everything.  My work, my workouts, my nutrition - everything.  I think sometimes I let the fun take over my brain and then I'm right back in party mode.. The weather is beautiful and it's making me want to plan tons of outdoor parties and just have fun - but I need to balance that with my task at hand: bettering myself. 
SO - no chips and salsa tonight.  I'm going to try to go to the gym after work today ( I just feel like jogging - very strange for me!) and/or hopefully take a walk with Nora when I get home.  I need to, again, re-focus and use any available time for burning calories and continuing my progress.  I fear for my weigh-in this week, as it's already Thursday and I've only exercised once.  Oh well, nothing I can do about the past days, I just need to work harder for the rest of the week. 

Re: Bootcamp.  I thought about it and I talked with my mom and Branden about it and I think I'm going to pass for now.  Branden suggested that I continue with my routine as it is, since I'm having so much success (when I stick to it), and if/when I hit a plateau, then re-approach the Bootcamp idea.  Right now, it's just a little too much money to justify my participation. (we're trying to pay off a bunch of debt so we can buy our house)

Okay, I think I'm finished for the day.  Sorry this post isn't as chipper as normal, just not feeling it today.  Hopefully, tomorrow I'll be back to the self that I like.. the positive one :)
