Hit 10,000 Views and Skinny Sloppy Joes

I am super excited about this post can't you tell!!

 

(Ya'll know I'm cheesy ha)

 

Today I have hit over 10,000 views on my blog. (actually 10,085 to be exact) I am so happy that people have actually taken an interest into my journey to becoming a healthier version of myself. When I think about how far I have come I hope that I have inspired at least one person to change their lifestyle. When I started out I really just wanted to lose weight and get skinny. But after I lost that first 20 pounds, it really hit me that my goal shouldn't be to just get skinny (my head is wayyy to big to get too skinny ha) my goal should be to get healthy and fit. After that moment it really changed my outlook on my journey. My journey will never be fully over (who knows I might be 80 and still have this blog ha) I will continue to travel down this healthy, happy, road that I call my LittleBlueDress Lifestyle.

 

Okay enough sappiness.... Now who likes Sloppy Joe's?

 

 

Every time I think of Sloppy Joe's I think of a crazy lunch lady. But did you know that they can actually be very healthy and tasty. Well until last night I didn't know either.

 

What you will need

Lean sirloin ground beef

Low sugar ketchup (75% less sugar)

Organic tomato sauce

1/2 red pepper

1/2 green pepper

minced onion

garlic salt

 

Start by cooking your ground sirloin. While that is cooking chop up your veggies (very small)

 

 

( I forgot to show garlic salt and minced onion in my ingredients pic)

 

Once meat is fully cooked add veggies, mined onion and garlic salt. Cook on high for about 5 minutes. (You might want to add a little water)

 

Then add your sauce and ketchup.(1/4 cup of ketchup)

 

Cover and let cook on medium for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 

While this was cooking I made my side of asparagus.

 

What you will need

Asparagus

Minced onion

Garlic salt

Extra virgin olive oil

Crushed red pepper

Italian seasoning

 

Add 1 1/12 tbsps of olive oil and all of your seasoning. (I'll let you judge how much seasoning you want)

 

Cook on 375' for about 20 minutes.

 

Once everything is ready,

 

Get ready to fill like you are back in a high school cafeteria but not eating the magic meat. So yummy and healthy!

 

Now to the workout this morning.
