The below nutrition plan is what I eat Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday during the day I still eat clean but will eat whatever is left over or what I have around my apartment. Two nights a week I have "treat" meals - whatever I choose. They are usually Saturday and Sunday night, but it does vary. I switch up my eating every week. I plan the week before what I want to have for meals, make the grocery list, and prep the food on Sunday's. A lot of times people will ask me if I get bored eating the same thing everyday. The answer is no. It is only 5 days a week that I eat the same thing. I eat to live - not live to eat. It took me a long time to come to that. I also do this to save money. I live alone so I can't really cook tons of different things during the week because it's too expensive and will go bad. There are also ways you can switch up your eating day to day. Like my Quest Bars for instance; I eat a different flavor everyday, same with my yogurt. You can read here for meal prep ideas!
Total down (since 11/25/13): 46.6 pounds!
Meal 1 (7:15 AM)
3 protein muffins
Meal 2 (10:30 AM)
Quest Protein Bar (the flavor varies day to day) and a large apple.
Meal 3 (1:15 PM)
Meal 4 (4 PM) - [Pre-workout]
1 Light and Fit 80 calorie Greek Yogurt with a tablespoon of chia seeds and plain sliced almonds.
Gym: 5-6:15(30)
Meal 5 (7 PM) [Post workout]
3 oz of top sirloin with homemade red mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli/mushrooms.
I poked holes in the sirloin (because it has no fat, it can be tough) and marinated them in balsamic vingerette for 24 hours. I cooked via stovetop and sprinkled Carolina blackened seasoning. I do not prep these all once. I made the mashed potatoes by boiling baby red potatoes until soft, placed them in a big bowl, sprinkled Garlic and Wine seasoning, melted 1/4 coconut oil and poured over potatoes, and 1 cup of plain Almond Milk. I then blended everything together with a mixer. I will have the recipe up soon.
Meal 6 (8:30 PM)
1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese and a 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate morsels.
Bed time: 11 PM

Back in February, I wrote about my "at home" workout that I created since I was snowed in for two days and could not go to the gym. I call this "The Hot Mess Express". I was incredibly sore for days after this work out, so I decided to do it once a week because it was so hard. My heart rate was through the roof and it worked every muscle in my body. My shoulders, abs, and thighs were the most sore. It is a little difficult to explain, but I will try my best. I hope to do a full blog entry and YouTube video for this soon. It truly is AWESOME.
I created a playlist on my Iphone that is an hour and 10 minutes of upbeat pop and rap songs and I blast that on my blue-tooth speaker while I exercise. It's about 12 songs, so I do 12 different routines. I repeat the routine for the entire song then switch.
Below are different routines I do during a song. I repeat the exercises for the entire song then I will move onto the next routine. I did this for 30 minutes:
-Mini suicides runs:
-Kickboxing cardio routines (I have 3-4 different routines for this. I do not know the names of the exercises so that is why I am not listing that out right now)
-10 Jumpsquats, run in place, then 10 jumping jacks
-10 regular jumping jacks, 10 scissor jumping jacks, jog around the living room
-10 pushups, jog down the hallway, walking lunges back to the living room
-20 burpees, 10 high kicks
-10 pushups, jog around the couch, 10 jumpjacks
50 minute jog on the greenway behind my apartment.
