Meal Prep Sunday|W1D7
I’m going to switch it up going forward. Instead of doing a recap from the day prior I’m going to do a recap at the end of each day. Since I do the recap at night, it just makes it easier for me to recall what I did that same day. So today I’ll do a recap of Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday Recap
Since we had our cheat meal yesterday we decided to do a long run Saturday. We ran 5 miles and the weather was perfect! It already felt like Fall even at 10AM. We averaged about an 11 minute mile. Over the course of these 8 weeks I hope we can shave off some time.
After our run we had a refreshing cup of H2O waiting on us from the best team around, L.A.! It was such a sweet surprise from our favorite girls when we finished our run.
Later that evening we did our 15 minute ab workout and stretched which felt amazing! We both said we need to stretch more! I didn’t feel sore after that long run which I normally would. So that just goes to show how important it is to incorporate stretching into your workout.
Today’s Workout:
- 45 min Intervals Run
- 15 min Core Strength
- 15 min Full Body Stretch
Sunday Recap
After we streamed church at 8AM, Antavis and the girls went to Starbucks while I got a little time to myself. I only spent a few minutes relaxing because I wanted to get started on our meal prep for the next few days. Once they returned Antavis jumped right in and we knocked out about 8 meals each and a few for Amiyah. We’ll have to make salmon for 2 days but we don’t have to do another big prep until Thursday. Teamwork makes the dream work!
I have to give props to Antavis because he made 3 great meals today and one was my favorite of the week. For our first meal he air fried carrots. We saw a post where someone suggested to do this because they tasted similar to sweet potato fries and we have to agree that they do.
The second meal was almond crusted chicken nuggets and he made a cinnamon, chipotle mustard to go with them. This was THE BEST meal all week. I’m not a big fan of mustard but the added cinnamon and chipotle seasoning was amazing!
The last meal to finish out week one was salmon and shredded Brussels sprouts. We ended the night with a brisk 1.5 mile walk around the block and then did a 10 minute ab circuit.
I’m proud of both of us for sticking to this plan. If you know us then you know we LOVE sweets! That’s our downfall but we stuck to the list this week and we can already feel our bodies changing. With the added fruit next week I’m excited about what’s to come! ~Selena
