I forgot to post my meal plan last week due to lots going on. I will say the past couple of weeks have been a huge challenge for me to keep to my workouts. It's not usually an issue for me, but due to the passing of a close friend, and a few other things happening within a few days of each other, I suspect/know there is a bit of depression setting in. I've done my best to ward it off, but some days, it does creep in and take over. Exercise is a great antidepressant, but the problem is getting motivated when you are depressed. I'm sure there are a few of you who can relate! So, this weekend an article "found me." It was about how turmeric is as effective as Prozac for treating depression. Double yay- I can use this info to help my counseling clients, as well as myself. (Plus, there are a ton of other benefits to using turmeric. I've even saved you an internet search of the tons of benefits. Don't know about you, but I will be picking up some more turmeric today.)
The plan for this week is all about 21 Day Fix. I needed an interrim workout until my Insanity Max 30 program comes, and grabbed a 21 Day Fix workout on Saturday, mainly because it was only 30 minutes. In the past, I have not loved the Fix workouts, but I took to Dirty 30 and decided to do the 21 day program before I start Insanity Max 30. I am super sore, which tells me I haven't been paying enough attention to strength training. I have also decided to put my 1/2 marathon training on hold because I just think it is one thing too many right now. I may pick back up in a few weeks, but sometimes the most important component of fitness is realizing when you are overdoing it. Below is the meal plan for the week. Nothing fancy, pretty standard. I don't think I've mentioned that Sundays is when I tend to build in a treat or two. I try to eat clean most of the week and save my treats for weekends. The most important reason I do this plan is to know what workouts I am doing and to know when I am going to have a treat. If you wing it, you will almost always make poor choices. Plan, plan, plan!
One last thing to add: I have some excellent challenge groups going on, and this week I have a Goodbye Summer Online Beachbody party. This is a 5 day party where you can win free stuff, and learn more about the Beachbody products and programs. It's invite only, so if you'd like to be added, message me, e-mail me, or post below.
