FFF Challenge Update and Plans
It’s Sunday night Monday morning which means I better get on this week’s fitness and meal plans.
Last week, was crazy busy. Between it being our boy’s last week of school, helping Brent with a big video project, training my clients, and my best friend was in town from Austin, I hardly had time to breath much less blog. I managed to get in most of my workouts even if I had to improvise. I only get to see my best friend every few years so I’m not sweating a missed workouts. No put intended. 😉 However, this week I plan to get in all my workouts as planned.
Monday – Full Body Strength Training + Walk + Stretching
Tuesday – Taekwondo + Walk + Stretching
Wednesday – Full Body Strength Training + Walk + Stretching
Thursday – Taekwondo + Walk + Stretching
Friday – Full Body Strength Training+ Walk + Stretching
Saturday – Walk + Stretching
Sunday – Walk + Stretching
Strength training will consist of kettlebells, bodyweight and suspension training exercises. I’m still working on those pistols and pull ups. Along with my regular workouts I’m going to focus on walking more. I’m shooting for 10,000 steps a day. Then there is the extra stretching. My best friend’s husband is a physical therapist and he gave me exercises for my tight psoas and hamstring. (I have lower back pain from a tight psoas and I pulled my hamstring last fall.)
Meal Plan
Monday – I Can’t Believe They are Collard Patties
Tuesday – Beef Broccoli
Wednesday – Going out with Brent
Thursday – Crock Pot Chicken
Friday – Soup using Chicken Broth from previous nights dinner.
Saturday – BBQ at friends (I’m taking this quinoa salad)
Sunday – Lentil Sloppy Joes
Well I’m heading out the door to teach my kettlebell class this morning. I do have more interesting posts for later this week but since I’m working on my Fit(ter) for the Fourth challenge I wanted to get this out there. Posting my plans helps me to stay accountable.
If you want to read something a bit more interesting, I posted more pictures from my trip to Baltimore for Fitbloggin’.
Hugs and High Fives,

My weekly plan for the next six weeks is 5-6x weekly workouts as follows:
2-3x 5k training (walk/running intervals, gradually increasing the running; I’m doing a warrior dash on July 30 and want to be able to complete it without collapsing entirely!!)
2x 30-min strength workout
1x 30-min metabolic workout
Love your meal planning. That’s my next challenge to tackle! Thanks, Jenn. <3
What a fantastic plan! Thanks for sharing and how cool you are doing the warrior dash!
Are you coming to my BBQ on Sat? 😉
How do you make your crockpot chicken? I was dying for some yesterday and my dad just went and got one pre-made from the store. I’ve never made a whole chicken myself. Sad, I know.
I wish I was coming!
I had a chicken recipe in my drafts so why not kill two birds with one stone and post it. Har har har. I also linked to a crock pot recipe we like.
Glad you got to spend some time with your best friend!

Of course, I don’t mind. Those cold Korean noodles with spicy pepper sauce sound really really good!!!
Maybe someday we’ll meet in real life and go on a hike together! I’d love that!
That’s so sweet! I LOVED spending time with my girl. You know I can’t cook, but I have to say I’m totally inspired to try the Lentil sloppy Joes and the Quinoa salad since they totally rocked when you made it. I have my shopping list and everything…You’re the best!
Awwww…I LOVED every minute being with you! Let me know how the recipes turn out. XOXOXOXOXO
Thanks! I’m excited about it. I’ve never done anything quite like that before!
Did my first 5K training session this morning. I think it went pretty well!
