Happy Labor Day everyone! I hope your weekend has been going pretty well.

I have been doing a lot of thinking and I won’t be doing the Urban Cow Half Marathon this year. I haven’t been training well for it at all and it is best to just do their 5k run, if I do decide to sign up for their Urban Cow run. In the meantime, I am trying to build up my running base again. The problem is that I haven’t been in a running mood lately (partly due to my mom’s comments on it but that’s another whole story).

Anyway, here is my plan for the week.

Breakfasts- egg+sausage scramble, pizza toast, or whatever I find in the house

Lunches- whole wheat spaghetti OR leftovers OR chickpea curry

Dinners- rice, protein, vegetables

Snacks- apples, nuts, whatever I can find

Workouts

Sunday- Jillian Michael’s Extreme Shed and Shred

Monday- 2 PIIT Workouts

Tuesday-  4 mile run + abs

Wednesday- rest

Thursday- 4 mile run

Friday- 4 mile run OR Jillian Michael’s Extreme Shed and Shred

Saturday- rest or Yoga

My plan is to start running again. Let’s see how that goes this week.

Anyway, I know I always have these plans made for my meals. However, I never actually explain or give tip on how to do it.

• Basically, it is easy to have breakfast that you can just heat up and take on the go. I know that many people are busy and it’s just easier that way. You can heat up something frozen you have made ahead of time (like on Sunday) while you are getting ready in the morning.
• For lunches, leftovers are your friend! Cook a lot on Sunday so that you can have food for the week or make extra during dinner to have leftovers for lunch the next day.
• Snacks- pack and portion out snacks for the week. It makes things a lot easier when you are on the go!

That’s all I have to say. I hope these few tips help out a little.

What’s your plan for the week?
