Partial Brain Function

Well, I did not get to post my 2nd part to my last post. I will soon. I was having computer issues and then lost my train of thought.  It is Friday and as promised here is my weight, 146...  I did not maintain my loss from last week. I know that I am giving it the best I can right now.  I have a busy schedule and a tight budget for groceries that does not really permit me to go completely and uberly healthy. Basically I am maintaining my weight with my diet.  But I have children and i will not force them to eat uber healthy.  Our diet is not bad and I am happy with it. 

I want to share with you a recipe that I used tonight.  Its delicious. 
Turkey Chili Burgers

1lb ground turkey
1 cup cooked or canned black beans
half an onion
1 jalapeno
however much garlic you want
2 tbs chili powder
1 tbs thyme
1/2 tbs cumin

saute onion till soft add chopped jalapeno, garlic and cumin
after that is done add to the beans and mush mush mush
next, add seasonings and turkey and mix well
shape into patties and broil
make sure you cook both sides
enjoy with a whole wheat bun some spinach and salsa is recommended (but I don't use  it)

I paired it with a broccoli salad recipe I got from a friend.

half an apple peeled and chopped into small cubes
1/4 cup of raisins
1/4 onion chopped (optional)
1 broccoli head

next mix 1.5 tbs mayo with 1.5 tbs orange juice dab of salt and pepper
throw this in and mix

This dinner is quick and healthy and delicious.  Love it!

Here are a few more goals

11. Wake up 3 times a week at 530 am to get my exercise on.
12. Only get on the computer once a day unless absolutely necessary. (i usually jump on when I have a free minute, and then do nothing on it but check facebook or email)
13. Read one book a month

Only 3 this time, I am losing my concentration. I always think of more and I have more written down I just forget to bring them with me to the computer.
