How was your weekend?  As usual mine went by WAAAAY too fast.  Friday we had a Whole Foods date and picked up our first farmbox from Sunizona Farms.  Then we came home and watched Nonstop - a plane hijacking thriller which was awesome.  I do a lot outside of my 8-5pm job, but I don't work Friday nights, it's my little rule to keep my sanity.  Then Saturday I went to Zumba, did some work, and then cooked literally all afternoon from 3 to 7pm.  Some of it was for the hubby and his friend, but most of it was for our first Glow Nutrition Party which is happening THIS afternoon, I'm super excited!   Anyways, I didn't really do any personal grocery shopping outside of Whole Foods (the rest was for Glow).

Farmbox- more details to come!

Meal Plan (6/22)

I haven't really been prepping ahead of time lately.  I think when you have time to prep ahead of time it can help and make things a lot easier during the week.  However, if you don't have the time on the weekend then you don't have the time, but there are some things I do that help me stay  on the healthy track all week.  Here is what I've been up to:

1. Buying pre washed ready to go veggies (like salad or other stuff)
2. Prep one time once it's open.  I typically take baby carrots with me to work, so the minute I open a bag of baby carrots I split it into 6 ziplock bags so I don't have to do it every night before work.  Or, in my farmbox came some microgreens which the first time I opened them I washed and dried all of them (instead of just what I wanted to use), then bagged the leftovers.
3. Making extra at dinner for lunch, prep lunch as I put dinner away.  There are very few exceptions to food that can't be thrown into a salad to make for lunch the next.

Breakfast Options

- Smoothies

- Chia Protein Pudding 

- Banana and Sunbutter Quesadilla's

- DIY Green Chile Frozen Breakfast Burritos 

Lunch Options

-  Ground Turkey Taco Salads

-  Chicken Sausage or Deli Chicken Salads (my favorite is date and goat cheese)

-  Dinner leftovers

Dinner "Plan"

I try to stick to my plans as best as possible, sometimes I end up up switching things around but at least I always have some go to meals ready in my mind.

• Sunday- Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry with Shrimp

Fitness Plan

Since the injury, I really listen to my body and don't push through anything that doesn't feel right.  Sometimes I still get frustrated if I can't work out but I always make sure to do some upper body strength or something to keep my muscles working.  Here is the plan for this week:

• Monday- Physical Therapy
• Tuesday- Summer Shape Up Workout #2 & 15 minutes Elliptical
• Wednesday- 3 ish Mile Run
• Thursday- Physical Therapy
• Friday- Summer Shape Up Workout #2 and HIIT
• Saturday- Swim
• Sunday-  Summer Shape Up Workout #2 & 15 minute steady run
