Gym, Dinner and Evening Walk

Hey NeverEver's!

I made it to the gym again this morning! Yup, second day of working out in the morning...which means I am waking up early in the morning! They say it takes 3 weeks to make something into a habit so lets see what happens the next three weeks.

Anyways, this will not be a super long post. I am way to distracted by the really nice walking weather outside. But, I have to let my food digest and I really wanted to show you my cooking tonight!

I call it...Turkeyburger Helper! Okay, its a horrible horrible name but I got the idea from hamburger helper as you will see ^_^.


I had some Turkey left over and I didn't want to make turkey meatballs so I decided to go simple. A healthy version of Hamburger Helper and above is what I came up with!

The pasta was left over, I seriously can't remember what this type of pasta is called, but it was wheat. And the sauce I used sun-dried tomatoes and basil with EVOO. It was a really tasty combination and something that I shall be cooking again!

The family loved it, even my father in law who doesn't like ANY greens on his plate. Plus there was enough left over for lunch tomorrow! 

Which is good because apparently my temp assignment might be lasting longer then the original 2 weeks. Of course this is awesome because my 24 Hour is literally 2 exits before work or 2 exits before I get on the freeway home. I can't miss it even if I wanted to!

Daily Stats Day 63:


Look at those stats. Second day back in the gym, after a LONG hiatus, and I make it in there two times in one day! Have to say that those stats look pretty good! This is a really good start to the Fall Season! 

Okay NeverEver's, sorry if I rambled today...I re-read what I wrote and fixed things up and I STILL feel like I am rambling, possible its a mood. Anyways, I am leaving you with this as it is time for my Evening Walk. I found it and it really hit me:

Tuesday Morning Workout + Weigh In

Hey NeverEver's!

Okay I am exhausted...okay a little more then exhausted. Hubby has a new work schedule, has to be in at 6:30, so it means we wake up around 5:30. I usually just turned around and head back to sleep. However, I was so tired of just wasting my time in the morning, feeling rushed and still sleepy. So I begged the hubby to wake me up with him.

So of course, as we are heading to bed all I can think about 'You have 7 hours before you get woken up better get to sleep' or 'Why aren't you asleep yet'. I didn't get much sleep of course, poor Hubby had to deal with me tossing and turning the whole night.

But I woke up this morning AND I went to the gym! I know, not a morning person at all...but here I was heading to the gym for a workout before work. Not 100% certain if it kept me awake the whole day or if I felt like I had any more energy, but I will keep you guys updated!


So besides my new wake up schedule (I do hope I keep it ^_^), my temp assignment ends this Friday. Not sure how to feel about it ending. This really has brought me back into the working world. I do miss being at home all day at times, being able to work on this blog or reading my books whenever I want.

But, it is necessary to work. I like meeting new people or landing feet first in a new environment to see what I can do! So, I will continue to get new temporary jobs while looking for a job that is just right for me. Haven't found it yet, but it is out there!


Okay so I weighed myself last night. Before working out and I am so excited, okay BEYOND excited, I lost weight!!! 2 pounds! I am still trying to wrap my head around this awesomness!

Daily Stats Day 62:


Look at that, down 12 pounds in 62 days! If I didn't weigh myself and I didn't know that I worked for that weight loss (on most days) I never would have thought it would be possible. Did I mention that my tight pants are looser? I think I did...but if I didn't, well my pants are looser as well!

So NeverEver's, have you ever lost weight that surprised you?
What is your dream job?

Till next time NeverEver's I shall leave you with this!
