Hi everyone! I am going to keep this weekly meal plan post short and to the point. Between finishing up my ebook, keeping up with all things blogging, and making sure my house doesn’t look like a daily bomb has gone off I am exhausted. But I am still plugging away because the light at the end of the tunnel is within sight! My ebook is still on schedule! WOOHOO! I am meeting with my designer again tomorrow to start the fine tuning. What a process! But it is worth it and I know you will think so too. So fingers and toes are still crossed for the launch date of THIS Sunday.
Okay, let’s get to weigh in.
Here are my numbers.
SW: 177
GW: 135
LWW: 147
CW: 145.5
PL: -1.5
Yay for losing 1.5 pounds this week. It is amazing what happens when I am intentional with my food and prioritize exercise. Now I need to keep going because I want to be bikini ready by July. Not kidding! I am turning 40 this summer and it is my goal to wear a bikini loud and proud. Wow I think I am really getting loopy tonight.
Here is my exercise schedule this week.
Cardio
45 minutes on the treadmill (10 minute warm up, 20 minute run, 10 minute power walk on incline, 5 minute cool down). Some people have asked why I run/power walk so much on the treadmill. Honestly, I know I could get more/better results switching up my cardio routine but I love to run. It is good for my brain and emotional well-being. I feel very focused when I get done running. So I run more for my brain than I do my butt.
Core
100 crunches
2 (30 second) russian twists
2 (30 second) planks
Arms
16 bicep curls with resistant bands
16 tricep extensions with 5 lb weights
25 modified pushups
Legs
50 squats
25 lounges on each leg
16 donkey kicks on each leg

Hi there!
Thanks for approving my friend request for the plan to eat service. Do you know how to view a “friends” meal schedule? I can view your recipes individually, but can’t seem to view your calendar.
Thanks!
