Weekly Follow up & Meal Plan

It has been SUCH a busy month (I'm sorry for the lack of posting!).

With Summit, new trainings, enjoying the heat, it's been a lot of fun, but I need to get back on track!

I'm going to start off with my victory of the week! (LOL At least there is ONE!) This week I stuck to my workouts, doing a hybrid of Turbofire & T25! I swear, I can't function without a proper workout each day. Turbofire can be really long, so on days I just couldn't fit it in, I did T25 for a shorter one. Variety of different workouts can definitely come in handy. ;)

For nutrition, well, let's just say I was not prepared, at all. Preparation is KEY if you want to be successful, and I ate whatever was around and convenient through the busy-ness of the week. 

This has led me to CRAZY cravings, my blood sugar is all over the place, and my waistline, well, let's just say I refuse to step on a scale!

The good thing is, last week is water under the bridge. It's OVER, done with, and there is nothing I can do but look to today to do my absolute BEST. I feel completely motivated to get back up and do even BETTER than I ever have. NEVER let "failure" define you, it actually makes you BETTER. Through my failures, I have learned SO much, and this is no different. It has validated that I do need to plan, and I need to seriously gain control of my cravings.

But, how?

I have created a meal plan below, and am planning on eaten every 3 hours. When I eat every 3 hours, I feel in control of my cravings. Yes, of course, I still want pizza if it's in front of me, but I don't need it. See the difference? 

Now, WHAT do eat every 3 hours? It's not about your calorie intake over the entire day, but at each MEAL. I am shooting for 250-300 calories at each meal, and a balance of protein, fats, and carbs. My goal is for my body to be a fat burning machine! For my body to be able to continue building muscle, instead of depleting it from not eating for hours and hours at a time. The more you feed and work your muscle, the higher your metabolism, if and only if, you're feeding your muscles on a proper interval, with sufficient nutrition. By eating like this, and fuelling your body, you won't FEEL the need to give in to cravings, but you'll be able to control them. 

You will be in control.

THAT is what I've always struggled with. Below I am sharing my meal plan. Feel free to work off of it, or if you need help, email me at mskfitness@yahoo.ca and we'll get you going on YOUR goals!

This week I am also starting PiYo, so I want to make sure I MAXIMIZE my results. Eating fuels the fire, your exercise will burn off the fat and build muscle! PiYo is incorporating strength, flexibility AND cardio, I will be sharing this week how I am liking it! 

Stay tuned for the review!
