Weekly Nutrition and Fitness Plan

September 16, 2013

I hope I can stay on track with my weekly health plan as closely as possible. My mother is coming into town Thursday and staying with us until Monday. Homegirl LOVES to cook so I can only imagine what she is going to fatten Marquis and I up with! But I don't hate it.

Nutrition:

Meal 1 (7 AM): 100 calorie Greek Yogurt and Vanilla Almond Granola


Meal 2 (10:30 AM): Half of an acorn squash with sugar/calorie free syrup, and ground cinnamon


Meal 3 (1:30 PM): 2 MorningStar vegetarian chicken patties with a side of steamed mixed veggies


Meal 4 (4 PM) : 1/2 cup of oats, blueberries, one tablespoon of Peanut butter, and 1/4 cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. (I call this peanut butter and jelly oatmeal. The perfect prework meal! for tons of energy)


Meal 5 (7:30 PM): 2 pieces of GardenIn vegetarian chicken scallopini with a side of mixed veggies, and half of an acorn squash with ground cinnamon and sugar/calorie free syrup.


Meal 6 [optional]: Fiber One Protein Bar


*I am not vegetarian, I just love vegetarian products
* I have a slight addiction to squash. It is SO healthy for you. 
*Fiber is an ESSENTIAL part of weight loss. It is the best form of carbohydrates for your body to intake. Ensure you are eating enough! 

Fitness:

Monday:
  12:30 PM - 20 minutes of Lateral cardio
  *This is very easy, low impact cardio I do on my lunch hour at my gym. I sit at a desk all day and do not move around a   lot so I need this as a mental break and to get my blood flowing.

    1. I find that a lot of cardio machines really work your calves. And I hate that. I can make any cardio machine work for me, it doesn't really matter what it is. I like the Lateral BEST because I like the side to side motions. I really push hard on cardio to work my quads, glutes, and hamstrings. The Elliptical works fine, I just use a the highest incline so I can really target my legs!

  5. Do you eat the same thing every day for the week, does that get boring? I think it's a great idea you plan it out, though :)

    1. It's so easy:

      Cut it in half
      Put the halves on a place (face up or face down)
      Wrap plate in saran wrap
      Microwave 10-15 minutes. I usually do 15 but check on it after 10
      Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and syrup and you're done :)

      Butternut squash is the same way but usually takes about 5-10 minutes longer to cook - depending on the size.

  9. I LOVE gardein products (though I am a vegetarian). I like your "PB & J oatmeal." That sounds really good. I'll have to try it!

    I wish I could eat more healthy than I do. I get stressed at work and eat such terrible junk food. Bleh.

  16. Wow squash with cinnamon and syrup? I've never heard of that. I'll have to try it out, along with the morning star patty (not together of course lol).

    Is there a difference between lateral cardio and the elliptical?
