Meal Plan Monday + Training Log 8/3

Hey, everyone!  I know it's been a little bit since I've posted, but life just got in the way.  I was busy last week enjoying my last few days as a stay-at-home mom before pre-planning started in Thursday!
My lack of posting (and at times, a lack of a desire to post) got me to thinking about the blog and what to do about it.  I've been a little uninterested in blogging lately and think I figured out why!

I feel as though I've gotten away from my true purpose of starting this blog, which is sharing my pursuit of healthy food, fitness, and faith.  So, I did some reflecting and have some ideas for how I'm going to get back to that!

The first starts today; instead of a weekend recap and training log post every Monday, I'm going to share my meal and workout plan for the coming week and log my training from the previous week.  Of course, I will still share some items from our weekends, but I don't want the sole focus of a weekly post to not focus on one of the food, fitness, or faith categories.

So, let's dive right in to this week's Meal Plan Monday and Training Log!!

Meal/Workout Plan 8/3-8/9
After two failed attempts, I'm planning to fully commit to another round of the 21 Day Fix.  I feel like having a more set schedule with work/day care, I know when I can fit in the daily 30-minute workouts and will commit to getting them done.  My workout plan is to complete the workouts as prescribed by the 21DF, while adding in 2 mid-week runs and 1 long run on Sunday.

I also plan to follow the 21DF meal plan and have already prepped my food for the week!  Breakfasts will be oatmeal with a spoonful of peanut butter and a piece of fruit.  Lunches will be a salad with varied toppings, or leftovers from dinner.  Dinners will look like this:
Monday-Grilled Fish Tostadas
Tuesday-Stuffed Peppers
Wednesday-Crockpot Apple Chicken with Sweet Potatoes
Thursday-Leftovers
Friday-Quinoa bowl with chicken and veggies
Saturday-Takeout
Sunday-Leftovers
I'm looking forward to the new recipes I'll be trying on Monday and Wednesday.  They sound delicious and fit in perfectly to the 21DF diet plan!

Training Log 7/27-8/2
This week was not a good one on the workout front.  In fact, aside from walks on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, they were non-existent!  I'm hoping that I'll have a lot more to share in next week's training log.

Question for you: What's your meal plan for the week?  Share a recipe that you're excited to try!
