Not your momma's meatloaf!

Today I want to start with dinner. Why? Because this is one of the easiest, healthiest, and yummiest meatloaf recipes out there! I've adapted this recipe from one I found here. But my version is made with lean turkey (could use breast if you'd like) instead of beef. This will save you about 100 or so calories and 20g of fat per serving! NOTE: I only use Foster Farms brand ground turkey. Please feel free to add any vegetables you want into this meatloaf. I've added zucchini, bell peppers and even grated cauliflower before and the hubby never even notices. :)

When it's fully cooked pull out
Spread mustard mix and cook 5 more minutes
Today's workout:
-12 minute treadmill warm up 6.4mph @ 1.0incline
-20 minutes cycling alternated with 20 minutes various weight machines
The above workout was in my fitness class. Coach had us doing intervals. So all was non stop.
10 minutes of various ab workouts. Especially, scissor kicks, leg lifts, and my fav...toe touches.
Abs definitely sore!

My meals:
8am Breakfast: Low carb bar
10am Post Workout: Low carb vanilla protein shake
12p Lunch: Bean-less turkey chili w/3 added turkey meatballs (from frozen)
2p Snack: Chocolate protein shake
5p Dinner: Turkey meatloaf and roasted vegetables

My plate, yuuuummy!!!

8p Dessert: sugar free cherry jello

Roasted Vegetables Recipe (great vegetarian recipe as well):
2 zucchini's
1 med sized white onion
1.5 cups of cherry tomatoes
1 yellow bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
olive oil
sea salt and pepper, to taste
Wash all veggies. Cut zucchini in half's then chop (not too small or they will disappear), quarter onions, and slice bell peppers.
Toss vegetables in roasting pan with olive oil.
Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
Cook in preheated oven (350F) for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them and toss while they cook about every 5 minutes.

Add color to your plate with these roasted veggies!
Enjoy!
