So, I lost 3 pounds last week...felt awesome! I ate healthy, BUT I worked out. And it paid off. However, this weekend was a BBQ and I came home to a fridge with no food. So, I really haven't eaten right since yesterday.
Time to grab a few things tonight to get me through this week before I move...WOO HOO!

Delicious & Healthy 'Burgers
So, I'm a big burger girl. I don't really like red meat a lot UNLESS it's in a burger. But I can't eat red meat all the time.
As an alternative, we've all had the turkey or chicken burgers. BUT...I took it to the next level this evening. I made a sweet & spicy turkey burger.
Serves 4
1 package 98% fat free ground turkey
1 small can roasted diced green chilis
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
1/4 cup cilantro
4 whole wheat buns
Put chilis, pineapple & cilantro into processor. Pulse to break up pineapple & then blend for 5 seconds.
Put turkey into large mixing bowl & add chili mixture to ground turkey. Knead into meat, but be careful NOT to over-knead. Mixture will be wet, but you need this as turkey dries out.
Form patties. Salt & pepper top side. This S&P'd side should go down first. Then add S&P on the other side once on the gril. Cook on each side for 4-5 mins on grill.
I used Heinz57 as my condiment but you could use a chipotle-lite mayo, mustard or BBQ sauce.
I also made my spiced sweet potato fries as a side. Which is just 1 sweet potato cut into fries. Put into a bowl and then dust with your favorite spices. (I use chili powder, cumin, onion POWDER, garlic POWDER, paprika & ground mustard.) Bake 30-45 mins @ 400 & then turn the broiler on to fully crisp-up the fries.
ENJOY YA'LL!

Motivation
As with most things in life, there has to be some self deprecating thoughts to actually psych yourself out of something. And I believe this is what I did with this little weight loss competition. I really haven't dedicated myself to this as I should have nor as I wanted.
This is pissing me off, and it's my own fault. I read another health & fitness blog where a woman was having the same problem until she signed a contract for herself. She made copies of that contract, posted it around her house and lost the weight she wanted.
Worth a shot...only thing I have to lose are a few sheets of printer paper...and some L-B's.
