What the plan looks like

A lot of people have been curious about what my plan looks like, and what my prep looks like.
I've talked a little about how I prep but I thought I would show how it goes down.

My day is broken into five/six meals.
Meal #1: I usually eat breakfast between 5:30 and 6:00am. This is what breakfast looks like:

Breakfast is one of these three options^^  I mix it up just a little, but this week since I've made the muffins, I will just eat two a day with my eggs. The eggs are 3 egg whites plus one full eggs. Sometimes I make my full egg a hard boiled egg and eat my egg whites scrambled. 

Meal #2: I usually eat this meal when my kids go to specials. That's at 10:15, so usually I get to eat it around 10:30AM. This meal is 4oz. of chicken (baked), 60 grams of rice (Jasmine) and some veggies. When I prepare my chicken breast, I trim the extra fat off and then coat them with Head Country BBQ seasoning. I put them on a cookie sheet and into an oven set at 350 for about 25 minutes. This meal looks like this>> 

Meal #3 is "lunch" I eat at 12:30ish, while my third graders are at lunch and my second graders are at recess. This consists of either one can of tuna or one cup of cottage cheese and a Mozz stick. Looks like this: 

I put a ton of pickles in this and some mustard 

 Meal #4 is 4oz. of meat (chicken or turkey) ... I eat deli meat at this time, easy to eat on the go. And 1oz. of almonds (and honestly some days I don't get to the almonds) >>

<<Meal #5 is 'dinner' and sometimes it is at 4:30 or 5:00... sometimes it's at 6:30, depending on what I have going on for the evening. Dinner is 4oz. of lean beef (ground sirloin 90/10 is what I've been getting)

When I prepare my beef, I put it in the skillet and then sprinkle it with a packet of taco seasoning... gives it flavor and it's not over-poweringly "taco" ... I usually heat it up and throw it into a salad or into some veggie soup I've made....


Last week and this week, I made up veggie soup. I used veggie broth and added in a whole onion, celery, carrots and garlic. Then I put in a package of pre-shredded cabbage, and a bunch of kale and spinach. I dumped in a can of diced tomatoes and mushrooms and let it all simmer together. It's a nice base to add the beef to to make a meal!

I also made the 'muffins' for breakfasts. They're super easy to make!
2 Bananas
2 Eggs
1 cup fat free milk
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup sugar free syrup
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
1 Tbl cinnamon
3 cups Oats
Mix it all together, spray muffin tins really well, fill them 2/3 way full, top with chocolate chips/blueberries/apples/whatever, and then bake at 350 for 25 min. Viola!

 So after doing this for a few weeks, I am seeing results. The major change has been this "diet" and really just trusting it and what my trainer has told me to do. You have to believe and trust in the process of it all, and remember that it will take time. I keep telling myself that I didn't get to that "start weight" by knowing everything. So I've had to re-train my brain and do the things I'm learning that I need to do. With the results I have been seeing I am so excited to see where I am at the end of the year!!
