About this blog

This is a new decade for all of us and will be a new journey for me as I turn the corner on my forties into the realm of my fifties. Hard to believe. I invite you to follow my health and fitness journey as I reach my goal of wearing a size 10-12 while I am 50 years old. I know this will be a blog filled with joys, accomplishments, and probably even some setbacks, but the over all goal will be to keep going, keep moving, keep releasing weight to be a fit and healthy 50-year-old.

Chinese Fire Drill this morning...and a recipe

My workout is at 7:15 every Tuesday, Thursday and some Fridays - but today I woke up at 7 a.m. That didn't give me enough time to even wake up - I usually get up at 6 a.m. to have some coffee and read my emails, and now do my gratitude journal, intentions and declarations. But, some how this morning I slept through not one, but two alarms! I woke up at 5:45 and thought, I have 15 more minutes of sleep - yippeee! But, I guess I ignored my two alarms. LOL! Anyway, I did make it to my workout, but I was tired and groggy - not the best way to workout. I guess I need that time to wake up in the morning. LOL That was about the excitment for the day. I did make some awesome turkey chili for dinner though.

Here is the recipe (I made it up!):
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
1 15 ounce can black beans
1 15 ounce can kidney beans
1 15 ounce can cannelli beans (white kidney beans)
1 pepper diced (I put in two peppers from my garden one purple and one green. Told you I'd find something to do with them.)
1 onion diced
About 5 cloves of garlic, chopped (I love garlic.)
1 shallot, chopped
1 T Chipolte Chili Powder
1 T Chili powder
1 t Oregano
1 t Cumin
1 t Corriander
1 t salt

I put it over 1/2 cup of brown rice and topped it with a little soy cheese.
It was pretty spicy - it need the rice to calm the spice down. Steve, loved it - it made his eyes water. So, if you don't like that much spice cut down on the Chili powder. Enjoy!!! Delish! - as Racheal Ray would say!
