I tried a new recipe today.. Spaghetti squash w/ ground turkey & mushrooms. Basically I sauted half an onion with 1 cup of mushrooms (in a little butter and salt), browned some ground turkey, and mixed it all up with spaghetti squash after 15 minutes in the instant pot. A little salt & pepper added and vwalla! It was pretty good. Some recipes call for cheese and cream and other toppings, but I'm trying to be low carb and healthy, not low carb & high fat. (Pls don't assume that means high fat = unhealthy, I just don't like practicing high fat. When I fall off the wagon I start eating all the high fat with high sugar which is generally a bad idea!)

I've been successful about keeping the calories low this week despite life getting in the way. Taco Bell one night, too much wine on another... oh boy do I love my wine. :) I've also picked up my running again. I'm feeling pretty tired lately. I'm wondering if I need to eat more. I've got myself trained to eat small, it takes so much work and will power to get to that point where I don't crave big meals and feel hungry. I don't want to overeat and get hungry again. Next week I'm going to add some more protein on my run days. Let's see if that helps.
