Hi everyone. I hope you are all doing well. Sorry for not posting my meal plan last Sunday. Last week was very busy and stressful. My dog of 11 years died. It was sad and somewhat unexpected so most of my time was focused on making sure my two girls were coping okay with our loss. Anyone who has a pet knows that more than likely we will not outlive our pets but that still does not make it any easier when the time comes to let them go. Here is a picture of my doggy. I will miss her hanging out with me in the kitchen and cleaning up all the crumbs I drop.
This weekend I am little sick but slowly bouncing back. Sometimes you just have to take a break and let nature run its course.
I am going to get right into my exercise schedule this week. I don’t have a weigh in this week but will be back in action with my weigh in next week. Sorry I know you guys look forward to it.
My goal this week is to get in 3-4 days of exercise. I feel so much better after a sweaty work out. As I have said before exercise is just as good for my brain as it is my booty :). Not kidding.
Here is the plan…
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (I need to front load my exercise because I will have a lot going on this weekend)
Cardio
- 45 minutes on the treadmill (10 minute warm up, 25 minute run, 5 powerwalk on an incline, and 5 minute cool down)
Arms
- 16 bicep curls using resistance bands
- 16 tricep extensions using 5lb weights
- 16-24 modified pushups.
Legs/booty
- 50 -75 squats
- 25 lounges on each leg
Meal Plan
My meal plan will be prepped tomorrow. I had every intention of prepping it today but like I said I am not feeling too hot. My husband might attempt to make the mason jar salads but we will see 🙂
Anyway, this is what I have planned for the week. If you are a Plan to Eat subscriber you can view my recipes, meal plans, and print out grocery lists over there. You can find the meal plans under the menu tab (left hand side) in planner section.

I just went to your found your website and the Plan to Eat site and what a great combination to get me on track and thinking healthy.
I, like Mackenzie, can’t figure out how to see your meal plans though. I have you now as a ‘friend’ but your plans on any week aren’t there? What am I doing wrong?
So sorry about your ‘fur-baby’. I know the heart feels that loss no matter how long or short they are in our lives. I hope that your children have wonderful memories 🙂
Thank you for your help

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. That is always hard. But congrats on the e-book launch. That is awesome. I know your site really got me looking into the freezer prep cooking and it has been SUPER helpful in getting myself back on track and getting the kids to eat something other than a pop-tart that they grab as I am feverishly trying to finish dinner. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to be able to see your meal plans. Maybe it’s user error..

Sorry about the loss of your dog. I totally know what your going through having just lost mine last year! Very sad times. One way I coped was writing a letter to her and putting down all my memories of her life to paper . I have pulled it out so many times and just remembered how much fun we had together. I tend to forget the smaller memories so I wanted to have an item to go to when any of my family is down about losing her.
