Weekly Menu Plan & Fitness Recap {12/20}

Hey there!! Its been a busy weekend for us and I'm just now getting time to post my menu plan for this coming week. I went to my first cookie swap last night and had so much fun!! 

Today was spent around the house trying to clean up a little bit and our typical Sunday events: laundry, grocery shopping and food prep for the week. TC had to work today, so it was just me and these two cuties for most of the day.

We had the Broccoli Cheddar and Chicken Casserole for dinner tonight and it was so good!! Addison kept saying how good it was! I'm going to have to make it again to post on here for all of you. 

Here's what I have planned for the week:

Menu Plan:

Sunday - Broccoli Cheddar and Chicken Casserole

Monday - Leftovers

Tuesday - Italian Crescent Bake

Wednesday - Jambalaya Pasta

Thursday - Cocktail Meatballs

Friday - Christmas Dinner

Saturday - Leftovers

Fitness Recap:

Sunday - 7.11 mile run

Monday - 21 DF Upper Fix

Tuesday - 21 DF Lower Fix

Wednesday - Jillian Michaels Body Revolution - Cardio 2

Thursday - Jillian Michaels - Ripped in 30 - Level 1

Friday - 21 DF ABC Extreme

Saturday - Chalene Extreme Burn Intervals

I think I'm going to start the Chalene Extreme program. I love the 21 DF, but feel like I'm a little burned out on it. I've done CE workouts the last 2 days and have really liked them. So, I'm looking forward to trying the whole program out.

I hope you all have a great week! I have 1.5 days of work and then I'm off until after the New Year! Not sure yet what all we will be doing. You never know whose doorstep we might show up on!!

So long for today...

Weekly Menu Plan & Fitness Recap

Hey there!! Happy Sunday!! I'm posting a little late today because we were camping again and didn't have very good service where we were. Plus, I planned our week out on the way home. We had such a great time. My birthday was last Thursday and I decided to make it an extra long weekend and took the day off. I had a wonderful day shopping with my mom and a friend of ours. I also made a trip to Trader Joe's. It's always a good day when I make it to TJ's!! 

It looks like this is going to (hopefully) be a pretty calm week for us. After a week with strep, then the kids being out of school for three days last week due to flooding and questionable road conditions, I'm ready for a low-key week!

Here's what I have planned:

Menu Plan:

Sunday - Grilled BBQ Chicken

Monday - Grilled Pork Chops

Tuesday - Grilled London Broil

Wednesday - Grilled Honey Lime Chicken

Thursday - Grilled Turkey Patties

Friday - Grilled Rotisserie Chicken

Saturday - Leftovers/Contingency Day

Fitness Recap:

Sunday - 3.60 mile run/walk

Monday - Rest

Tuesday - 21 DFX ABC Extreme

Wednesday - Hammer & Chisel - Total Body Chisel

Thursday - 21 DFX Lower Fix

I hope you all have a great week! 

So long for today...

Menu Plan & Fitness Recap {6/21}

Good morning friends!! First, I want to wish a very Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Now, let's get down to business. I've been away for an unintentional break. But we had so much going on. You know how I get when things are crazy around our house and the blog is the first thing to go. We are actually headed back from a weekend away in North Carolina as I write this. The last week and a half have included me wrapping up my real estate training classes, Addison having oral surgery, to be quickly followed by her getting strep throat the next day, me getting strep throat, I'm super swamped at work right now and don't see a light until about mid-August and then this long weekend to Carowinds in North Carolina. I'm hoping the worst is over and we can finally get this Summer going!! We have a few more long weekends planned and a trip to PA later in the Summer, so it looks like we will be busy straight through until school starts (and even after that!!).

We had so much fun this weekend. Camden went on his first roller coaster (and LOVED it), we got to see some family and were able to make up for the lousy weekend we had last week.

So, let's see what meals we have planned for this week, shall we?

Sunday - Dinner Out

Monday - Tacos

Tuesday - Grilled Turkey Brats

Wednesday - Big Mac Attack

Thursday - Crockpot Chicken Parmesan

Friday - Italian Roast Beef Sandwiches

Saturday - Grilled Hamburgers

I'm not even going to bother with a fitness recap. Between our weekend away and being sick, my workouts were pretty sparse. Hoping to correct that for this week.

I hope you all have a great week. I'm trying a couple of new recipes this week and will try to post a new recipe for you if I can sneak it in.

So long for today...

Weekly Menu Plan & Fitness Recap {4/13ish}

Hi friends! Yes, I am a little late getting this posted. But, as the Australians say, I've been, "Flat out like a lizard drinking!!" Seriously, things have just been crazy lately. And not because of any one big thing going on, it's just the everyday life sort of things...like strawberries!!

I love them anyway, but especially like this...

We have been really busy with our day-to-day operations lately and something had to give. So, this time, it was the blog that suffered. I can't promise it won't happen again, it probably will. But that's life, right? I hope we can still be friends. :-)

So let's take a look at what I have planned for the week, shall we?

Menu Plan:

Sunday - Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Monday - Grilled Pork Chops

Tuesday - Grilled Turkey Brats

Wednesday - Spaghetti & Meatballs

Thursday - Grilled Turkey Patties

Friday - Grilled Kielbasa

Saturday - Leftovers/Contingency Day

It's a low prep kind of week for the menu. Sometimes, it's just easier to remember KISS - keep things simple sweetie :-). Yes, I'm aware that isn't the typical saying, but sometimes you need to make your own rules.

I did really well with my workouts last week, too!

Fitness Recap:

Sunday - Yoga Meltdown - Level 1

Monday - Ripped in 30 - Level 3

Tuesday - Zumba

Wednesday - Ripped in 30 - Level 3

Thursday - Rest

Friday - 3 mile run

Saturday - Ripped in 30 - Level 3

I'm definitely starting to notice some changes and I'm really liking what I'm seeing! I'm determined to stick with it and watch my progress!

I had to include a picture of the beautiful sunrise I captured last week!! I hope you all have a great week!

So long for today...

Weekly Menu Plan & Fitness Recap {3/7ish}

Well, hey there and Happy MONDAY night!!! Yesterday was such a busy day, you know, with all the enjoyment of the beautiful weather that was going on!

So, I just didn't have time to post my meal plan for the week. If you pay attention to my posts, you might notice that this meal plan looks like it could be Simply Filling. While, it may fit that plan, I actually started my Advocare 10 Day Cleanse today. I'm really liking it so far. I'm not hungry and I had tons of energy today. I didn't sleep well last night. Pair that with Daylight Savings time and I really thought it was going to be a struggle to make it through the day. But that wasn't the case at all. I'm planning to do a full recap of my cleanse, so stay tuned for that.

Here's what we have planned for the week:

Meal Plan:
Sunday - Leftovers
Monday - Grilled Turkey Patties
Tuesday - Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken
Wednesday - Pasta & Meatsauce
Thursday - Mini Turkey Meatloaves
Friday - Date Night!!
Saturday - Grilled Fish

Fitness Recap:
Sunday - 21 Day Fix Dirty 30
Monday - Yoga
Tuesday - Zumba
Wednesday - JM Ripped in 30 - Level 1
Thursday - JM Ripped in 30 - Level 1
Friday - Rest
Saturday - 3 mile run

Did you see that date night up there? That's right!! We are going out to dinner and a movie. Together. Without kids!! I'm almost embarrassed to say that this has not happened since before Camden was born. And he is almost 2! We are loooong overdue!

I hope you all have a great week! It's a short work week for me, plus it's supposed to be in the 80's this week. So, I'm definitely planning to have a great week!

So long for today...
