So All day I was in a frump mood... I forgot to start drinking water until around noon and just was lagging feeling... almost grumpy.  I did the work I needed to at work and headed home... on a side note I enjoyed lunch I got two slices of the Cooked Turkey from Spencer's had two spoon fulls of Beets and a String Cheese... pretty good ... Breakfast was a Cliff's Bar at 11am... I gotta start eating Breakfast earlier! That is my goal this week! I was rocking it with the Oatmeal a few weeks ago.  I am trying to back off the nuts a little... and raisins (once I saw how many grams of sugar were in that tiny little box... I was in shock! I could have like 5 sodas for that amount... of course I get the natural vs added sugar cane... but wooo I think raisins are way to high in sugar for the taste)... once I got home I started making Turkey Lasagna with Whole Wheat Noodles - It came out Delish! I used 1/2 a box of Noodles and boiled them.  I put 1lb of ground Turkey in a pan and cooked it with 1 diced onion (medium), 1 diced Red Pepper (large size), 7 cloves (Average) if Garlic Diced Up, 1/4 tsp of Sea Salt freshly ground, 1/4 tsp of fresh ground pepper, 1 table spoon of Basil and Tyme (dry mix), and 3 leaves of Basil diced fresh (I would have put more but that was all I had left in the container), and 1 Tomato (medium) diced and 1 package of Mushrooms... I cooked together until the Turkey was cooked and the veggies were soft -> I started browning the Turkey 1st with Onions and Garlic for about 5 minutes so as not to over cook the veggies.  I got a square baking pan and put 1/2 of the Ground Turkey on the bottom and pour 1/4 of a jar of Spaghetti Sauce (I used a low salt one from Trader Joes) then I topped it with a layer of noodles... next I put a THIN! layer of Low Fat Riccota cheese (and I mean Thin... other wise you begin to loose the healthy side of this recipe -LOL) and then another Layer of the Noodles I topped that with another 1/4 of the jar of Spaghetti Sauce and sprinkled 1 cup of Low Fat Mozzarella Cheese on top with 1 tsp of Basil.... I counted everything out and it makes 6 servings and the total calories for the entire dish was 1100 so approx 185 calories per serving - It was low in Sugar and Low in Fat grams.  I served it with a Salad made of just Romaine Lettuce, Cucumbers and Tomatoes.  It filled me up even after a pretty intense Work out today.  I was in a Frump mood when I got to the gym... and I kicked it on the Eliptical for 15 minutes before my work out - I ran 1.33 miles in 15 minutes on the Eliptical... I was happy.  Jason had me do Mid Back, Upper Back and Triceps, Biceps and Ab work today.  I smiled so big when I did 15 full sit ups without having to stop once... that for me is a big improvement - sad... but again a big improvement - but by the3rd round it was getting hard - I needed help the last 5-8 ish I was blacking out...LOL ... after 30 minutes of weights I got to have some fun on the Eliptical more - busted it out for 1/2 an hour! :-) I got home ate Dinner and walked Keyanna 1.5 miles and let her play at the Dog Park for while - All and all a nice DAy!
