Planning for Healthy Habits

How has your Monday been?  There are only 4.5 weeks left in the school year, so each Monday has turned in to a celebration for me!


I loved sharing my meal plan for the week with y'all last week, and I want to do so again this week!  I feel like it de-stresses the entire week for me, but it keeps me accountable when I post it!

Monday: Spaghetti Squash with 7-herb Tomato Ragu, Italian Sausage, and chopped vegetables-We'll be having a guest for dinner who is very in to healthy eating, so I thought this would be the perfect dish!  I'm dressing it up as much as possible so Joe will actually think it tastes good :)
Tuesday: Crock Pot Garam Masala Chicken and Chickpeas-Julie from Peanut Butter Fingers posted this recipe during her Crock Pot Challenge, and I wanted to try it out!  We'll have guests for dinner on Tuesday, too, so a Crock Pot meal will be perfect to feed everyone!
Wednesday: Leftovers-we still have left overs from the end of last week, and I anticipate a few leftovers from this week, as well.
Thursday: Boxed dinner-Joe has to ref intramural soccer on Thursday, so I need to make something that'll be satisfying for him afterward.
Friday: Mexican food-as usual!
Saturday: Go out to eat/Takeout-I imagine we'll do something on Saturday night, so I'm planning on not cooking :)  We often will call in a take-out order, grab a movie from Redbox, and eat at home.
Sunday: Baked Chicken with a side of vegetables-My grandmother gave me a great recipe for baked chicken.  I'll be sure to share it next week after making it!

Since I'm sharing my meal plan with you, I may as well share my workout plan for the week with you!
Monday-rest day
Tuesday-Run (either treadmill speedwork or a run outside) + BBB core workout
Wednesday-Cardio + BBB workout A
Thursday-Cardio + Core workout
Friday-Rest
Saturday-Step class + BBB workout B
Sunday-BBB Workout C (+ potential run)

Today became an unplanned rest day.  Errands after school always throw a wrench in my workout schedule!  Tomorrow's run WILL happen right after school, as well as the rest of the workouts this week.

Question for you: What is your meal/fitness plan for the week?  How do you balance getting errands done with maintaining healthy habits after working?

    1. Me, too! And surprisingly, the hubby enjoyed it too! He's not always in to the "healthy stuff"
