Health Kick

Ever since last Friday when my trainer yelled at me for not coming to the gym once last week, I am on a semi-permanent health kick. This means I am trying to work out 5+ days a week, eat healthy, and avoid drinking alcohol.




The first meal of the week on Monday was turkey burgers, faux macaroni and cheese, and grilled potatoes. Pretty health right?

It seemed like hours that I slaved over the burning stove last night and when we sat down to eat all this food, we weren't even hungry. By the way, when I say burning stove I literally mean burning stove. Something on the bottom of the oven caught on fire and I had a small meltdown. AFTER i turned the oven off, I ran to get my superhero and he saved the day. Thank you Bryan. Needless to say I have quite the task of cleaning the little booger ahead of me.

Anyways, I am unable to tell you how the turkey burgers turned out since I didn't eat mine but hopefully they make good leftovers for tonight! The macaroni and cheese was simply rotini pasta mixed in with frozen cauliflower and cheese and 3 melted Laughing Cow cheese wedges. It actually was quite good and much healthier than regular mac and cheese. The potatoes were nothing special, just sliced and thrown in a foil pack on the grill.
