It's Only Monday??

It was hard being back at work after such a great weekend.  I had a bit of a slow day at work, so when I got out I was ready for a good workout! I decided to do an interval workout on the treadmill along with some arm and abs exercises.

The treadmill can be anyone's worst enemy.  It's hard to stay interested when you are looking at the same thing for 45 minutes.  That's why I love to do interval workouts.  Here's the one I did today.

Warm up:

Walk for 2 minutes at 4.0

Run 30 seconds 5.0

1.5 mintues 2.0 incline

1.5 minutes 3.0 incline

1.5 minutes 4.0 incline

I finished out with some sprints and ended around 4 miles in 40 minutes. I headed home to cook my dinner. Tonight I cooked Blue Cheese BBQ Turkey Burgers courtesy of Bethenny Frankel http://www.bethenny.com/2011/03/16/barbeque-bleu-turkey-burger .  I cut this recipe in half and served mine over some spinach leaves, carrots, snap peas, and pinepple. I love this recipe because it is simple and only requires a few ingredients.

I used these four ingredients and 1/2lb ground turkey

Then I cooked them on the stovetop and chowed down

YUM! I also had a small slice of great harvest dakota bread.
