Here are the workout guidelines I intend to follow to achieve a healthier me:
*Workouts will last at least an hour and will include stretching, warm ups and cool downs.
* I will utilize my Nike plus, iFit and myPATH apps to track and motivate me in my progress.
* I will workout 6 times a week
*Register for some family 5Ks and other events.

Tuesday: Chest and Tricept workout with light Cardio

Thursday: Back and Bicept workout with light Cardio
Friday: Cardio training
Saturday: Leg and shoulder workout and NO CARDIO
Sunday: REST
In my efforts to be organized and frugal, I plan our family dinners a week at a time. I have revamped our dinners this week to be more clean eating. I have written an example of a weekly menu below:
Monday: Italian Spaghetti Squash: Turkey sausage links with onion, red pepper, green pepper, onion and mushrooms tossed in spaghetti squash and tomato basil sauce.
Tuesday: Healthy Ham Casserole: Diced Ham (Leftover from Easter), green beans, celery, onion and potato drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice and seasoning (garlic and pepper).
Wednesday: Grilled Chicken Salad.. NO Dressing
Thursday: Leftover Night!
Friday: Fresh Veggie Pizza with thin crust
Saturday: Ground Turkey Fried Rice
Sunday: Paleo Shepherd's Pie: I use ground turkey and sweet potato to make it more healthy.
In addition to making our meals with more clean eating foods, I will be following the guidelines below to help me stay on track dietarily.
*Drink only water! With all the cardio workouts (that stimulate metabolism and forces you to eliminate water from the body) you need it and it is NEVER a good idea to drink your calories often. Plus fruit infused water tastes so good :)
* Eat smaller portion sizes but more often throughout the day.
My husband and I are even considering trying out a challenge to be Vegan for a week!
My whole family is always up to a challenge and we love to try new things. If you have ideas, comments or suggestions I would LOVE to hear them!
