I squatted my bodyweight!


Ok, actually, more than my bodyweight: last night's workout was 3 sets of 8 reps at 130lbs. Woo!

This week's eats

Since today is a day off from lifting, I thought I'd take some time to plan the week's menus to keep me on track.

I don't mind eating the same things over and over again, but my DH does, so I'll be having lots of repeats for breakfast, but varying my dinners.

I'm sticking with an approximate 40/30/30 ratio target, with a goal of 150g of protein, 200g of carbs, and 70g of fat per day.

I'll be pre-packaging my breakfasts and snacks to make them easier to grab in the morning and keep me on plan.

breakfast: 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1T almond meal, 1/3 c dry rolled oats, 1/2c milk

snack: 1c 2% greek yogurt with 1c frozen berries, 2t honey, 1T flaxseed

lunch: usually leftovers from dinner the night before or a chicken

snack: protein pumpkin bread (yummy!)

dinners:
grilled mahi mahi w/ frozen veggies and sweet potato fries
EFL-style meatloaf w/frozen veggies and baked potato
pulled pork BBQ on ww roll, sweet/sour cole slaw
beef teriyaki w/ brown rice and edamame
marinated chicken breast w/ rice and frozen veggies

snack: 2% greek yogurt w/ honey, flaxseed, peanutbutter
