I'm reinstating some of my healthier eating habits. This weekend, I made my favorite chili with turkey burger. It was yummy, as I had it for lunch and dinner on Sunday, and then lunch yesterday, and finish the little bit left for a snack last night before the gym.

Yes, I DID go to the gym last night. I did both weights and cardio. I hit 2.86 miles in 30 mins at level 5 on the eliptical.

For dinner, I had this garlic pineapple chicken stirfry that I totally made up as I went along. Basically, cooked the chicken with a little bit of garlic powder and olive oil, then dumped in whatever frozen veggies I felt like, which ended up being carrots, peas, broccoli, and spinach. Then I added chunks of pineapple, and before I added the juice from the pineapple, I mixed in a little bit of cornstarch to thicken it while it cooked. It was good over rice (though I know the rice and cornstarch added bad carbs). I'm having the rest as lunch today.

I have a trainer appointment on Feb 4. I guess I'll find out how much damage I've done to myself with my crazy work schedule which prevents me from going as much as I would like to.

My goal this week is to go to the gym at least two more times by weeks end.
