Another Successful Week in the Works!

Since the meal and workout schedules are locked down for the week, I thought I would share with you what is in store...it is already Tuesday afterall!! Oopsie!



Food Plan
SUNDAY: Texas Caviar
MONDAY: Cottage Cheese Alfredo Sauce with Broccoli (I doubled the recipe & added 2 cups of broccoli and put over 12 oz of brown rice noodles)
TUESDAY: Beachbody Easy Meatloaf
WEDNESDAY:  Avocado Mac & Cheese
THURSDAY: Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
FRIDAY: Homemade Pizza 
SATURDAY: Taco Burgers with Salsa (Coming soon...maybe!)

I decided to explore meal options outside of My Whole Food Life, SkinnyTaste, and the Runner's World Cookbooks. I thought after a month, it was time to try some other sources. But, I did use My Whole Food Life for a very last minute Superbowl snack idea.

A couple of the recipes I included were given by friends out who are involved in my accountability group. When I saw their suggestions and drooled, I immediately added them to my list of meals I needed to make. That included this week's Cottage Cheese Alfredo and Chicken Tortilla Soup.



I also decided to take some of what I learned from past recipes and alter them to make something new. Let's consider SkinnyTaste's Taco Stuffed Zuchinnis. I LOVED the meat mixture so much that I decided I would try to create a taco burger this Saturday! If successful, you should be hearing all about it soon! If not...I'm sure I will still share the story of my disasterous idea. :) Peter and I will be overflowing with the past 3 week's leftovers, so that means no meal planning/prepping next week! I love our freebie weeks! It's not only easy on the wallet, but it gives me back a great deal of time that I typically use to plan & prep! Now, on to the workout schedule!

As I mentioned, I am now on to Phase II of P90X3 this week! If you remember, I was going to reward myself with chocolate after completing Phase I, which I did! I never realized how good 88% chocolate would be! Also, I still have some left! Yay me for having control!



But aside from that, I was really excited to move on to the next phase because I have already earned some great results from the first 28 days.



I can only imagine what these next few weeks will bring!!!

Also, I have finally used my Bowflex Dumbbells since I purchased them!





These dumbbells will allow me to really get flexible with weights. Five to ten pound dumbbells were just not working with me to achieve my full potential. This should allow me to build more muscle.

On to Yoga.

Most of you have seen that I have been arriving to my mat EVERY. DAMN. DAY! With that said, I made the decision to do yoga for a 365 day streak. I figured that because I've come this far, why not make the full commitment!?

As for running, we are taking it down a notch in mileage. This will allow me to repair from my 18 miler this past Saturday, but also prepare for my 20 miler on the 27th! AHH!

So there you have it! The week (at least part of it) ahead! It's going to be a good one!


What recipes are you making this week?

What does your workout schedule look like in the days ahead?

Do you do yoga every day? What did you notice from making that commitment?
