Welcome to the first week of February 2021! My Game Plan goals for this week are all focused on my FASTer Way goals. I would love for you to share your goals for the week/ weekly game plan. Don't forget to tag me when you post them on social media or just share them in the comments here.
I am entering week 5 of my VIP challenge (yup, us coaches are VIP members too and we love challenges) and I want to work on maintaining the progress I've made. I've been doing the FASTer Way workouts for just over 3 months now and I want to push myself outside of my comfort zone. I notices this past week when I did some workouts that I really could have gone up in my weights. So, this week I am making a point to see what I recorded as last weeks weights and go up where possible. If I need to go back down I will, but I want to at least challenge myself. My next goal still focuses on water. My current goal is to get between 100-120 ounces of water in a day. I can really tell if I miss that goal. Ways I've found to make it happen is I fill a large cup up with water before I go to bed (usually 24-32 ounces). When I wake up I drink some water and then work to finish that glass by the time I'm done with my workout. This also helps get my organs refreshed before I add coffee to my system (lol). Sleep it important for soooo many reasons. That's when your muscles repair themselves and for our kids, that really is when they grow! I feel the best when I can get 7-8 hours of sleep a night (plus that's good for your cardiovascular system); so I am making that a goal for this week. To hit 7 hours of sleep, not just on the weekend.
Now lets talk meals. We are back on track with the last 2 basketball games (fingers crossed), so Wednesday is my planned night out for dinner. Typically for lunches, I either make a big salad with Tyson Blackened Chicken or leftovers from the night before. I will use several of the FWTFL meal ideas for lunch and snacks throughout the week.
Sunday: Roast, potatoes, carrots & salad. I've been slow cooking a roast in the crockpot all day. I use 2 heaping capfuls of the Tastefully Simple Magic Chicken seasoning, beef broth and then enough water to cover the roast. Cook it on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-10 hours. It smells AMAZING and I can't wait for dinner. (Here is the recipe I normally use, but I wanted to change it up a little this time.)
Monday: Pulled Pork - I keep this simple. I will put a pork loin in the crockpot on low over night with a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce. It will smell divine when I wake up. I'll use my shredder from Pampered Chef to shred it in the crock pot, then put it in a container on the counter to cool while I workout. Then I'll cover it and put it in the fridge for dinner. The guys will make sandwiches out of it. Since its a low carb day for me, I will just have the meat with a side salad and some green beans.
Tuesday: Pulled Pork Nachos for the guys and Pulled Pork Tacos for me. I use the low cab tortillas from Aldi which also have added fiber and they taste yummy! If I think about it, I'll pick up some Mango Salsa from HEB on the way home (LOVE THIS WITH PORK). I like to add guacamole as well if I'm still low on fats.
Wednesday: Basketball is back so tonight I'll have either Chicken Tortilla Soup from Chick-fil-a or their grilled chicken club.
Thursday: Brinner - a crowd favorite in our house. I will cook the sausage first and then cook scrambled eggs in the leftover grease. I'll also make drop biscuits with Bisquick. I'll cook up some cherry tomatoes and spinach to eat with my eggs.
Friday: Keto Pork Chop and mashed potatoes. I'll use this recipe that my friend Cindy shared a few weeks ago and then will either make some mashed potatoes or roast them in the over while I'm cooking the pork chops. I LOVE this one and the smell is amazing too.
Saturday: The plan is Hamburgers & Hotdogs - I like to use the grass fed beef from Aldi. We use Sopin' Sauce from HEB, salt, pepper and garlic to season. Then grill till desired doneness. We may or may not have homemade fries.....that is still to be determined.
Having a plan helps me out a lot, however I have also learned to be more flexible. Sometimes the plan doesn't happen and I just adjust my snacks and other food accordingly without worrying about it. Be flexible and make choices that you know will fuel your body and help you reach your goals.
Registration for my February 15th Round is OPEN! It's not too late to make 2021 your healthiest year yet!
What I've gained from living the FASTer Way lifestyle for the past 3 months:
Cut my BP meds in half
Better Sleep
More energy
Reduced bloating and stomach
Loss of inches (including 3 inches off my waist alone)
Stronger Muscles (I can even see my bicep again)
This is just the beginning...
The community is a great place for encouragement and learning. Plus, you'll have me right there with you as a coach cheering you on and answering your questions along the way. The only thing I regret is not starting with the FASTer Way sooner. Register today and see how great you will be feeling going into Spring Break!
