Getting Back On Track

For the last 2 weeks I've been doing zero planning.  And it's really showed...I'm up about 5 lbs since the Merry Sister Weekend.  Today, I'm setting aside time to plan and make meals and workout times.  If I do this for the week ahead, it REALLY makes all the difference I've found...  If I don't keep this in the forefront and make a concious decision to do better, it's easy to ignore and not think twice about the food I eat! 

I'll use this post to document the workout plan and make sure I'm staying on track throughout the week..

Saturday - gym (running and weight machines) - DONE
Sunday - gym (Body Flow @ 11 or running and weights) - DONE (but ran on trail instead)
Monday - 5:30 AM Body Attack -
Tuesday - 4:30 PM Body Pump or run outside -
Wednesday - 4:30 - gym (running and weights) or run outside -
Friday - depends on how I've done throughout the week! :) -

  2. Sounds like a great plan! That is a lot of good workouts!
    We were in Chicago for the weekend because Brock presented at a conference, and we met up with Tori and Doug...so I didn't eat very healthy all weekend, but I also plan to get on track this week.
    I have been reading a lot about gluten sensitivity and how it can cause inflammation in the body and contribute to autoimmune disorders, and will try to post something about it soon.

  3. Katie, did you get off track or forget to post updates? (I shouldnt be talking--just trying to hold you accountable, lol!)

  4. Yes, planning is probably the key. I know if we have nothing in the house, then it is easy to just decide on Burger King. (for a veggie burger and fries...so not healthy).

    I could live on grilled veggies...we have had a lot this week since our grill is now out of the shed. And, Katie, thanks again for all those chopped peppers and onions. I used them on salads, sauteed up to eat with a veggie burger, and also put them into a veggie burger mix of bulghur and chickpeas. It helped so much to have them all precut and ready to use!

    I am tending to pull away from soy, and stick with natural meat substitutes, such as homemade veggie burgers using beans, grains, veggies.

    Another big thing is not to have stuff in the house that is bad. I did just fine during Lent, but then I ate sweets this week because they were in the house and allowable....felt crappy, had sinus headaches, mouth sores, etc. SUGAR is POISON!!! Oh, and Megan, I was scraping plates this morning, and that one of Autumns had ketchup on it, and it was like a gummy sticky candy...probably 95% sugar! You are smart to plan on making your own!
