This morning called for a bootcamp style workout. I needed a workout that was fun, free spirited, and was whatever I felt like doing.
I started with 30 min. on the spinning bike to bring my heart rate up, get my body moving, and get the sweat rolling (I know gross, but true). I then did some resistance training using only my own body weight and working upper body. I also did some kickboxing, plyometrics, intervals, running in place, jumping jacks, and so on in between each set. I finished with 15 min. straight of high intensity intervals. In all it was 1.25 hrs of working out. I wanted to finish with some yoga but I had to get ready for work.

Dinner tonight was layered taco bean casserole. I seem to be on a casserole kick, it's just so much easier sometimes.
I started with cooking some Tj's ground turkey with diced onion, salt, pepper, and chili pepper. Once cooked I added some diced roasted red pepper, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, salsa, and 1/2 cup water.
In a pan coated with non stick spray I begun layering.
Layer 1: Tj's whole wheat flat bread
Layer 2: Non fat refried beans
Layer 3: Turkey mix and topped with some salsa
Repeat layers two more times
Topped with Tj's spicy non fat black bean dip, salsa, reduced fat cheddar cheese, and cilantro.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min. Let rest for 5-10 min. and then serve.
Girrrrl, you were bustin' some moves today! That looks like one intense (and butt-kickin') workout! :) The casserole looks yum too! I've made a similar recipe before, but I've never thought to use flatbread. Nice suggestion!
ReplyDeleteThe layered bean casserole looks delicious!! You're welcome to bring it over anytime now :P
