Planning for Monday
It’s Monday.
(Deep breath.)
It’s going to be a good week. Right?
Yes.
I’m planning on it anyhow.
Speaking of plans I’ve made two.
Meal Plan for the Week
(Lunches are leftovers or salads. Almost always.)
Monday – Hamburgers/Grilled Potatoes/Salad
Tuesday – Citrus Chicken/Salad/Grilled Squash
Wednesday – Broccoli Beef (Brent made up a wonderful recipe that I must share soon.)
Thursday – Squash Casserole
Friday – Greek Salad
Saturday – Crock Pot Chicken with Veggies/Salad
Sunday – Roast with Veggies/Salad
Last week, I picked up another quater of a steer and we have SO MUCH beef right now it’s a little crazy. I’m kinda-sorta worried we won’t be able to eat it all before we take off on the road. So if a lot of beef shows up on my blog that’s why.
Training Plan For the Week
My kettlebell class at the gym is part of a functional fitness program. I’ve decided I’m going to take advantage of my instructor perks and take some of the classes. I’ve been working out alone for two and a half years so this means I won’t be counting dew drops on the grass is going to be an adjustment.
Monday – Kettlebell Workout (On my own)
Tuesday – TRX/Taekwondo
Wednesday – Functional Training Class/Taekwondo
Thursday – Sparring (which is really a HIIT workout)
Friday – Functional Training Class/Taekwondo
Saturday – TRX or Rest
Sunday – Rest
********************************
I wish I could report that my Kick Start Kick the Sugar Challenge is going awesome. It’s not. It’s going just ok. I should of called it Kick Start Reduce the Sugar Challenge. 
However, there are two weeks left and I’m planning to finish because that simply finishing (consistency) is more important than perfection.
I’ve just not been terribly motivated in the areas of food and fitness lately. Does that every happen to you?
I’m calling it life. And calling it good.
Do you workout in groups or alone?
“I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel…” but maybe that will change with these classes.
(Oh man did I ever love Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.)
Did you love any dorky movies growing up?
Hugs and High Fives

This is my (almost) sane quest for insane health. Let's 
I love dorky movies NOW. 😀
I’ve not been super fitness motivated lately either. I’m calling it life also – moving to a new place, seeing old friends every weekend, exploring….that will take the motivation to sit in a gym right out of you! Life is more important though, so I’m not sweating it.
I like the idea of a reduced sugar challenge. That I may get in on.
Oh, and I want to dine Chez Jenn all week long, okay? Crockpot chicken? Beef and Broocoli? Squash casserole? YUM
You know if you lived here I’d invite you over all the time!
I prefer to work out by myself, too. But I really really really need to get back to the yoga studio, because I do miss my weekly fix and I haven’t been there since December. Which is hard to believe!
Have a great week, Jenn! Your plan is stellar, yo. <3
Thanks Tamara! I’d like to do yoga someday. I think it would be fun. Maybe I should take advantage of the yoga classes at my gym. If only there were more hours in the day!
I hear you on THAT! I do love yoga. Let me know if you do decide to try it!
I decided today it’s not my lack of motivation, it’s my lack of focus that’s hurting my workouts. That’s why the group workouts are working out for me at this point. I can’t walk out of an hour class just because I thought of something else that I need to get done.
Favorite dorky movie: Spaceballs “why didn’t someone tell me my a** was so big?”
Oh many that is SUCH A GOOD ONE!
Funny, we are switching places. I put my spectrum membership on hold b/c I wasn’t using it- I’ve been working out at home for a few months now (except in Palm Springs- I still go to the two Gold’s there). I actually do love group classes but I enjoy working out alone too- I go through phases.
Give yourself a break on the sugar- I think it’s hard to quit- it’s good at least to cut back- perhaps if you cut back slowly, eventually you won’t miss it.
I’m totally a workout from home person or rather in the park or beach person. However, these are some very intense classes that are mostly Olympic style lifts, plyo, running, pull ups, ect. The girl teaching them is very good, a little intense, but good so I’m hoping she can help me up my game. 😀
Sugar is very hard to quit. I quit entirely for an entire year back in 08. I’d like to get back to that place b/c I felt amazing!
PS I almost exclusively like dorky movies: Airplane is my favorite and The Jerk. I also liked Wayne’s world (though a bit ashamed to admit it) and loved all the Austin Powers movies.
Ha ha I didn’t see this comment until now b/c I was replying to previous comments. Dorky movies rock. I’m ashamed to admit it but I’ve never seen Airplane or the jerk. :-O I do however, think the Austin Powers movies are HILARIOUS!
