This week I dusted off my Well Fed and Whole30 Cook Books
Breakfasts- From the Whole30 book: Spinach Fritatta (I know what you're thinking, does this girl ever get sick of eggs? and the answer is NO #TEAMEGGSFOREVER) Not as pretty as in the Whole30 book, but not bad for the first time ;)
Lunches-
Since I will be increasing my exercise this week, I am adding an extra meal. Previously, I had a small snack about 30 minutes before my workout, then had dinner 30 minutes Post Workout (PWO). Now that I am planning to move in the morning and evenings I will NEED to make a 4th meal vs just a small snack. I've heard the common, eat every 3 hours to keep your metabolism up, but Jillian Michaels recommends that every 4-5 hours gives your body the chance to burn off the fat, and I am much more successful with this approach. I've been following this routine for about a year now. So, if I eat breakfast at 7, I aim to eat lunch between 11-12 (this really just depends on how I feel that day, sometimes 11 takes forever to get here or it's already 12 and I wasn't even thinking about it- really it is all about your meals and activities. If you feel like you're starving by 11 everyday you may need to reevaluate your breakfasts.)
For first lunch, I made the Classic Chili recipe from the Whole30 book, but with ground turkey instead of beef (because I have a lot of turkey, not because I don't like red meat) and I added potatoes as suggested if you are more active. For second lunch, from the Well Fed Cookbook: Waldorf Chicken Salad, I have been craving chicken salad for a couple weeks now. I am throwing this over a bed of spinach. This has a good source of protein and fat which I will need before my afternoon workouts.
Weekly Workouts: Kayla Itsines BBG Week 8
I made my goal for the week to workout 4 mornings this week, next week goin for 5! Since I'm starting week 9 next week, I will also be increasing my LISS/HIIT workouts during the week (as recommended in the guide.) I have also started to read the Tone it Up girl's book, and will be incorporating 28 days to Fit, Fierce, and Fab into my daily routine for this last month! What's motivating me to amp up my fitness goals this month? It's exactly 1 month until our 1 year wedding anniversary! We have a beach weekend getaway planned, and I couldn't be more excited!
