Week 1- Greek Burger and sweet potato fries recipe

Last week, I made protein smoothies every morning, drank at least 100 oz of water a day, made dinner every night, and worked out 5 days.

I honestly never felt hungry.  I made healthy snacks like hummus with cut up veggies, and zucchini chip(which didn't work out too well). I never counted one carb or calorie.

I'll admit the water intake was the most difficult to keep up with.  I usually ended up adding sliced cucumber, tea or the strawberries and blueberries that I froze in ice cube trays of water.

What was my favorite meal this week? Greek Burgers with spinach/ cucumber/ tomato/ mushroom salad, my own balsamic vinaigrette, and sweet potato fries.

Yes there is no bun and aside from the dressing I didn't use one condiment
