Hey hey! It’s meal plan time again. Here’s the thing though. My eyeballs are ready to POP RIGHT OUT OF MY HEAD. Seriously! Last week, I spent 3 full days finishing October’s 4 Week Make-ahead Monthly Plan, Exercise Challenge, and Habit Challenge Package. Melissa (OYS writer) and I work on this together. She is the good one that has her section done ahead of time. Me…on the other hand….ummm…I am more like the college student cramming the night before the big exam. You think I would have learned my lesson back in graduate school. Ya know, get er done ahead of time. Anyway, it’s done and fabulous. Check it out here. By the way have I mention that Melissa is the bomb and I could not do it without her. She is like my normal calm professional half. I am like a yorkie that just snorted one of those candy sticks from the 80s. Do they still make those? See what I mean?
Right after the meal plan was complete I had to write a couple blog posts for a few different companies along with just my typically blogging stuff. And hello I still need to keep up to date on what my friends are doing on Facebook. It’s always refreshing to see people enjoying their social lives. Actually, I am sucker for inappropriate memes. They make my life. Hahaha #dontjudge
Enough of my babbling, let’s get to my weight. Cause I know you are dying to see if my jeans are gonna fit this week or not.
Here are my stats.
SW: 177
GW: 130
LWW: 147
CW: 145
PL: -2
Do you see that?!!!!!!!!!! That is a 2lb weight loss. Woot woot baby! I haven’t seen a 2lb weight loss in a long time. Here’s the thing. If I eat portion-controlled meals 5 times a day without picking, stay hydrated, don’t eat after 7pm, and run at least 4-5 times a week I will lose weight. Period. Not to mention I feel amazing. Like beyond amazing.
Let’s move on to exercise cause my eyeballs are burning.
I ran almost every day in September. My plan is to continue running 4-5 times a week. I know there are a million other cardio choices but I love to run so I am sticking with that.
Last week, I did a great job with strength training. At first, I tried to do a toning routine at night but that didn’t work for me. I’m not giving up on it just yet but I need to keep doing the things that work. For me, that was crunches using my exercise ball, planks, squats, and arm exercise using resistant bands. I plan to do the same thing 3-4 times this week.
Now for my weekly meal plan.
