It’s Sunday, which means in true weekend fashion I slept in, ate breakfast, got my butt kicked by Bar Method and then came home to laze around for the rest of the day.

Or so I thought—the only “drawback” to this type of diet is that it does take a considerable amount of prep work and planning in my opinion. It’s probably the normal amount of planning to someone who is used to cooking in 7 nights a week, but as I was averaging about 2 nights of REAL cooking a week (ie not soup or popcorn or other randomness from the pantry) it’s been a huge overhaul for me.

Here’s what’s on the menu for this week:

Sunday-leftovers from last night’s yummy flank steak and green beans combo
Monday- turkey burgers (bun for the boy!) and roasted brussel sprouts
Tuesday-see above 
Wednesday- Green Chicken Curry! and greenbeans
Thursday- see above
Friday-who knows??? I can’t think that far ahead

Ok, so I guess I’m NOT cooking every single night. I’m waaaaay to lazy for that, but I also made the boy a chicken enchilada casserole for him to take to lunch each day (he was complaining about the lack of carbs-guess he’s off the fake diet), a double batch of the Vegetable Egg Quiche cups, AND another batch of the roasted chickpeas. One thing I hate is being unprepared. The upside was that I got to watch about 4 hours of Dance Moms while I cooked—pretty entertaining, if not disturbing if you ask me.

While I was at it, I decided to plan out my workouts for the week, too. I’m hoping that this second week back I won’t decide to sleep through 2 mornings. Oops. I’m totally blaming that on getting “adjusted” back to getting up at 6 instead of 10.

Sunday-Bar Method (CHECK!)
Monday- Bar Method PM
Tuesday- 3.5 mile run
Wednesday- Bar Method PM
Thursday-3.5 mile run AM, Bar Method PM
Friday- OFF!
Saturday- 5 miles
Sunday- Bar Method

Dang that looks ambitious. We shall see, we shall see. Almost a week of no carbs!
