My Weekly Clean Eating Meal Plan and The Gamma Workout

Life is super busy all the time.  I swear I never stop 24/7 its either mom duties, wife duties, house cleaning, laundry, errands, preschool, Beachbody or my own workouts! DARN IT I never ever have time to sit down and just CHILL!  Do you feel like that??  Ahhh, so how do we fit in a little "ME" time each and every week?  

This is one thing through my personal development reading that I do each that I have learned is important to our mental health.  While it is really hard to block out time specifically for ME I find that it is also the most important time of my day!  I find that when I have some quiet time to reflect on me and what type of example I want to be I am able to better serve others.  So I continue to make it a priority each week to make a meal plan.  That requires me to get up on Sunday morning 30 minutes earlier than the rest of the family.  I get my breakfast, my cup of coffee and sit at the kitchen table with my computer, my pad of paper and meal plan.  I make up my grocery list, determine what workouts I want to do this week and what other possible obstacles that I will be faced with.  At this time I am PROACTIVE in my strategy about how I will handle the week!  Also, I take into account what I want to splurge on for the week.

Maybe you have a girls night out, a baby shower, a wedding or a family get together.  Is there something that you know you are going to want to eat?  I actually schedule that into my week.  I do this because I know if it's on the calendar then I have to be good all week long so that I can have my 1 cheat meal vs a cheat day and enjoy it without feeling regret!!!!  

This is how I maintain the balance in my life!  Hopefully that tip will work for you!

So now I have included my meal plan for the week below. I went a little off schedule with my workouts.  I started off great thinking I was going to do P90X2 but the workouts are long and my time has been very limited due to other focuses this week.  Instead of not working out at all I decided that I would re evaluate and choose a workout that was shorter in length that allowed me to get the best of both worlds.

So, I chose T25!  I started with Beta on Monday but then Gamma came in the mail so I'm doing 30 days of Gamma! At the end of this 30 days I will re-evaluate and choose what I want to do next!

While I was at the leadership event we were given a copy of one of the new P90X3 workouts to try.  It's called the Warrior Workout.  It rotates between chest, abs, legs and cardio for 30 minutes.  I loved every single minute of that workout!  I'm totally in love!

I am definitely going to be purchasing this as my workout in December when it is released.

If you follow me you know that I have 2 little boys who love to eat!!! This is one of our family favorites and we literally sit down each night and have a bowl together! They really to request to eat healthy.  When Landon, my 4 year old did his "about me" for preschool they asked him what his favorite foods were.  He said Chicken and Broccoli.  Oh it's a boy after my own heart!!!!
