Turkey and Sweet Potato Skillet Hash

Ahh since being diagnosed with celiacs Im on a mission to find yummy recipes I can make that the whole family will love and this one did just that!

The yummy combo of sweet potato, cheese, cilantro and turkey sounded odd at first but they all blended so well together. Next time I would double the amount of protein though so that there would be more meat than carbs in general.

Ingredients

US CUSTOMARY - METRIC

•  2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
•  1 lbs grass-fed extra-lean ground turkey
•  1 tsp garlic clove — minced
•  ½ cup onions — diced

•  1 ½ cups sweet potato — diced
•  Salt and freshly ground black pepper
•  A pinch of smoked cumin

•   ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2. Add ground turkey and garlic. Use a wood spoon breaking up the turkey while it cooks. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5 minutes.
3. Add onions and yellow peppers and cook until onions are soft.
4. Add the sweet potato and other spices.
5. Cover the skillet and cook until they are tender. Don’t forget to stir occasionally. If necessary, add more olive oil or a little bit of water to cook the sweet potato faster.

How do you find the time to workout as a busy mom?

AM Workouts
Try to complete your workouts first thing in the morning. Not only will morning workouts jumpstart your metabolism to help you get through the day, it may be the only quiet time you have. For most parents, there is simply too much to get done after work. I know that when I get my workouts done first thing in the morning it sets the tone for a great day!

Lunch Workouts
If early morning workouts are not your thing, try to get a workout in during your lunch break. If you work close to a gym try going during your lunch. Or, start a walking group that walks for 15 to 30 minutes each day during lunch. Not only will this help you stay accountable but it helps to break up the monotony of the typical work day.

Write It Down
Schedule it! Integrate your workout into your daily routine and let the family know that this appointment is set and it is a priority. I like to think of it as a special appointment that I can't miss! I follow a calendar when Im working out print it out and put it right where I can see it every day on my refrigerator! I love that it takes the guess work out of what to do! I used to walk around the gym with no clue! Now, I get in and out and Im done in 30 minutes!

But I just don't have the time!
Keep track of how you’re spending your time and figure out which activities you could eliminate time from in order to use that wasted time and put it towards a workout. I know for me I had to cut things out such as watching tv and scrolling social media! When theres a will, theres a way right?

Use What You Have
While not making it to the gym or a spin class is a convenient excuse, the truth is, you don’t need special fitness equipment or a gym membership to work out. A simple set of weights, a chair, or your own body weight can be used to workout.

Don’t Go At It Alone
Like anything else it is a process. Don’t go at it alone. Find a partner or support group to help you stay on track and hold you accountable. I run challenges every month to help you stay on track and keep you accountable, whatever your goals may be! If youre ready to get started lets chat! My next group starts Sept 26th! Are you ready?

I've helped hundreds of others get started on their fitness journey including myself and thought it would be helpful to you if I put together some tips to help get you started on your journey!I know when I first started I had a TON of questions and Im sure youre wondering a lot of the same things I did. Before you get started I want you to remember this is a change your are doing and for some of you a BIG change!

Will I need any equipment ?

You're going to need a set of heavy and light weights. When I first started I was a Crossfitter and into heavy lifting and 5 and 8 pounds were more than enough! You can also buy resistance bands which are great for traveling.

21 Day Fix App

 Download the 21 Day Fit Tracker app or download the tally sheets to help you keep track of your containers. The app is easy to use and tells you how many containers you have left after you mark each one off as you use them. Before you know it you'll be a pro and know exactly how much to eat!

What happens if I fall of track?

If you fall off track, don't beat yourself up about it! Jump back in as soon as possible and re commit. You don't have to start over but can pick right up where you left off. If you need some accountability and would like to be in one of our upcoming online accountability groups, message me me so I can help get you started!

What if I can't do the workouts do to an injury?

How often should I drink my shakeology?

EVERY day! Shakeology isn't just a protein shake. Yes it has protein BUT it's filled with over 70 superfoods, probiotics, adaptogens and more! It's going to help curb your cravings and give you energy as well as maximize your results! In order for it to work, you have to drink it EVERY day! 

What can I add to my shakeology?

You can pretty much add whatever you want! But with that being said whatever you add it does count towards your allowed  container count. 

Here's my favorite recipe:
1 scoop of chocolate
1/2 a frozen banana
8 ounces of water
1 tablespoon of PB2
6 ice cubes 

What kind of snacks can I have when following this plan?

You can pretty much have anything! One thing I love about this plan is that it's not restrictive and whether you are a picky eater, paleo, whole 30 or gluten free--you can follow this plan! I like to keep things simple with my snacks with always having a variety. Here are some of my favorite go to snacks. The key to being successful is preparing your snacks ahead so you're not stuck HANGRY!

What does a typical day of eating look like?

I like to keep things a simple as possible for the most part and once a week I like to try one new recipe. I measure all of my food out before I eat to make sure I am eating according to my goals. Every Sunday I plan out my meals for the week to make sure I stay on track. If you want to know a little bit more about what I eat in a day check it out here or watch this quick video on how I meal prep each week.

                   

I finished a round! What's next?

Well remember I said this is a lifestyle right? So you finish your first round and what should you do? KEEP GOING! Some people do another round of the 21 Day Fix till they reach their desired weight and then pick another fun program like 22 Minute Hard Corps or if you loved the 21 Day Fix you can kick things up a notch with 21 Day Fix Extreme. If youre into dancing theres also our newest program Country Heat. All programs can be used with our awesome nutrition plan and the containers.
