Welcome to the last week of January 2021! For those who may be new here, I wanted to share my goal with this blog. Each week you'll see me share my Weekly Game Plan. This consists of my Top 3 goals for the week. They may be FASTer Way goals or just personal goals. It's my way of holding myself accountable. I would love for you to share your goals for the week and don't forget to tag me when you post them on social media or just share them in the comments here. I will also share my family's dinner plans. I look at our schedule for the week and keep that in mind when planning. I usually do a mix of old faithful's and FWTFL meals. My guys don't mind leftovers with some meals and on busy nights I plan ahead for eating out. For me that takes the stress off. When I use a specific recipe, I will link it below and offer notes as to how I make traditional meals, more FWTFL friendly.
Here are my goals for this week. Planning my meals ahead in MFP helps me hit my macros and keeps me fueled for everyday life. I have always liked drinking water, but use to struggle to get it all in. 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). DO NOT PANIC when you see my 3rd goal. In our VIP challenge we are doing a 24 hour fast. I have done them before and it is not as bad as I was expecting. See your 24 hour clock starts when you finish eating the night before, so you end up sleeping through most of your fasting window. Again, those in my new client groups, do not panic, you are not fasting for 24 hours.
Now lets talk meals. Normally Patrick has basketball on Wednesdays and that has been our "eat out day"; however this week's game was canceled so we aren't eating out. I will share my dinner plans here. 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: Burgers & homemade fries (Shone cuts up the potatoes and adds them to flour before he fries them. I think we may tray a batch in the air fryer this time though)
Monday: Spaghetti - nothing fancy here. I'll ground some beef up and use traditional spaghetti sauce from Aldi. Since Monday is Low Carb day, I'll make zucchini noodles for me.
Tuesday: TACO TUESDAY. My guys love the taco seasoning from Tastefully Simple. I'll make the guys cheese dip, but I'll skip that. I use the low cab tortillas from Aldi which also have added fiber and they taste yummy! I like to add guacamole and salsa as well.
Wednesday: 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.
Thursday: The guys will have leftovers (Friday is trash day so this also helps to clean out the fridge). Since this is the end of my 24 fast at dinner, I'll cook a seasoned frozen Salmon, heat up some frozen veggies and have a little rice for my meal.
Friday: Roast, potatoes, carrots with a side salad. This will cook all day in the crock-pot and be ready for whenever we get home. This is the recipe that I've used the past couple of times and there hasn't been enough for lunch leftover.....so I guess the guys approve.
Saturday: Homemade pizza - this was on the schedule for last week but things got moved around and we pushed it off a week. A friend shared this pizza dough recipe (it needs to rise for a couple hours, so that is why I have it as a weekend meal) and it's been one we've all enjoyed. Plus it's fun for the kids too.
Registration for my January 25th Round is closing soon! It's not too late to join as the first week is Pre-week!
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!
