HOW TO.....Meal Prep for the Week

Every single challenge group that I run, there are a few challengers that ask for help with coming up with a meal plan. It may seem difficult too. You may have to do some cooking, you may be worried about being bored, or you may just feel like you don't have the time to balance it all. Well, no matter what type of lifestyle you have, having a meal plan in place is important. Why? 

Nutrition is key to stellar results and to maintaining them.  Plus, when you have a plan you are less likely to leave your meals up to chance. Leaving nutrition up to chance is almost like asking to fail. I don't want you to fail. So here's a great tool that will help you to succeed and I'm SUPER EXCITED about this!!!

Meal Plan Monday!

This is my mealplan for the week. Friday-Sunday I will be doing the 3 Day Quick Fix so my meals will pretty much be the same all 3 days. I will just be sure to season well. I need a 3 Day Quick Fix considering this weekend I ate out at a seafood kitchen and ordered dessert too and I also had some fresh baked oatmeal pecan cookies. Not that either is bad but I did not keep track of either. And Im not getting on the scale! The Day After I eat a restaurant dinner I am always like 6 pounds heavier. So I will update my weight loss for the 21 Days sometime next week.

Week 3 is double workouts. So starting Tuesday, I will wake up a half hour earlier to get one workout and then get in the other about an hour after dinner each evening.

Here is my simple meal plan. Its pretty straight forward following the guidelines provided in the Fix Meal Guide. I may swap out different veggies and I may also swap out a fish for shrimp as well. 


I will post pics and recipes on FB during the week and then update pics here next week.
Enjoy~

The Listerine Pedicure

"That's right—your favorite mouthwash can double as foot soak that rids feet of dead skin. 
Here's the recipe: Mix a quarter cup of Listerine with a quarter cup of vinegar and a half cup of warm water.
Soak your feet for 15 minutes and then all those rough patches will practically wipe off!"

 So I've seen this all over and I wanted to try it. I figure since I was considering going to get a pedicure on my day off, I may as well give it a good try beforehand. Besides, my heels are in pretty bad condition. (I can't even explain, smh)

I used-
1 cup of Cool Mint Listerine
1 cup of distilled Vinegar and 
2 cups of hot water




I soaked my feet for at least 30 minutes as I finished up some Beachbody work on the computer. After the soak, my plan was to soak in hot bath, scrub my feet, moisturize and polish my nails. Well, my only mistake was using Cool Mint Listerine. I know it calls for the Golden Original but I had Mint Listerine on hand so I used that. I did have a blue tint on the soles of my feet until I got in bath. But once I did, it came off with the loofah and scrub with absolutely no problem. So would I use the Cool Mint again? Probably.

My results....
My feet were easily scrubbed (I used a sea salt scrub) and the dead skin came off fairly easy. I moisturized with raw African Shea butter and polished my nails with a pretty red. It took a little time but its done and Im satisfied.

Have you ever tried Listerine on your feet? Has it worked for you?
