Fitness Friday!

Yep that it is! Fridayyyy! I have so many plans this weekend I just don't know if I will get around to blogging. But I HAVE to leave with some encouragement for the weekend!

Do not let your weekend make you lose track of your fitness and healthy lifestyle.
I admit sometimes I let my weekend interfere. It is just so easy to go out to eat, sit on the couch watching lifetime and do absolutely nothing. DO NOT DO IT!
In one weekend by not eating healthy or exercising, you can counteract all the work you put into this week. Get off the couch and go outside for a walk, play with the dog, anything to get you moving. And cook healthy!

I will leave you with a 4 minute work out video that is designed to boost your metabolism for 12-36 hours after you do it and can burn as many calories as a 40 min jog. I do this workout every morning just to get up and moving (get the blood flowing). But this is a great weekend mini workout just incase your schedule is packed and doesn't allow you to perform your normal workout routine.

Here is a recipe for my low calorie pasta.
Eric does not eat healthy at all..but he LOVES this stuff. He actually requests it often ;)
It is one of his favorite meals of mine.

Low Calorie Turkey Pasta
2 Turkey Breast (found near ground turkey it looks just like boneless skinless chicken but it is turkey)
1 can 98% fat free Campbells Cream of Chicken
1/2 can diced tomatoes with Garlic Basil & Oregano
1/2 Bell Pepper Seeded and Chopped
1/2 Onion chopped
1 Cup wheat Rotini noodles

Cut turkey breast into square bite size peices.

Spray a skillet with butter flavored cooking spray.

Put bell pepper and onion in the skillet and heat on medium heat until bell pepper and onion are transparent (about 5 minutes) stirring occasionally so they don't burn.

Put turkey breast in the skillet with the onion and bell pepper. While cooking season the turkey. ( I season with garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper, and cajun seasoning).

Cook turkey until all peices are white.

Put can of cream of chicken and half can of tomatoes in the skillet.

Fill the cream of chicken can halfway with water and pour in skillet also.

Cover skillet and let simmer for 20 minutes. Stirring occasionally. ( when finished turkey should be tender and cut easily with a fork and be white all the way through).

Cook noodles according to package and add to skillet for another 10 minutes.

And there you have it yummy, low calorie pasta! Pair it with a salad or wheat rolls :)
 I hope you enjoy!
Believe in yourself.
