I feel like people always say this, but how is it already the end of February?  Time is flying!  I’m honestly a little overjoyed that the month is almost over as this is a crazy month for me, but it also means that it’s almost spring, almost football season, and another month into 2013.

This month I feel like I’m just spinning through, but I’m on a good track and am making the most of such a busy time of year.

7:35PM – For dinner I made taco salads!! I first browned 1 pound of grown turkey in a non-stick pan. To the meat I added 1 jar of William Sonoma’s Fire Roasted Corn, Chili, and Onion Frittata Starter.

Now don’t let “Frittata Starter” scare you.  You can use this stuff in SO many ways.  I’ve added it to grains, rice, meat, stir fry, etc.  It. Is. Awesome.

To a bowl of butter lettuce I added 1/2 cup of the meat mixture, 1 scoop of Greek yogurt, and 1/8 a cup of cheese.  It was wonderful!

9:00PM – I joined the FitBlog chat on Twitter!!  If you haven’t checked it out, every Tuesday night at 9PM FitBlog hosts a twitter chat that focuses on health and fitness related topics.  Its a great way to connect with others and to talk about topics such as dieting, running, fitness, new workouts, and the like.

10:15PM – I wrapped up a little blogging and headed to bed.  My goal was to get 8 hours of sleep last night.

It wasn’t all that exciting of a day but it was a good one!  I was on target with my calorie goal, got in a great workout, and in the end burned more calories than I took in!  Success!
