Quick check-in with my meal plan for the week ahead along with last week’s workouts. I hope you’re having a lovely Sunday!
This Week’s Meal Plan
Sunday:
One pan roasted dinner with spicy Italian chicken sausage, acorn squash, onions and whatever other veggies I decide to add.
Monday:
Armenian Lentil Soup with Eggplant and Apricots
Tuesday:
Herbs de Provence chicken breasts with and orzo with roasted broccoli (trying this one again from the week I failed my meal plan execution)
Wednesday:
Homemade spaghetti sauce over spaghetti squash
Thursday:
I have an event so leftovers or out
Friday:
Fish or seared scallops (whichever looks better) over artichoke risotto with a vegetable
Saturday:
Out for a Halloween party
Last Week’s Workouts
Sunday:
40 minute walk
Monday:
3.5 miles easy (9:15 pace)
Tuesday:
Hot yoga
Wednesday:
5.33 miles at 8:33 pace
Thursday:
2.25 miles on the treadmill starting at 9 minute mile pace and working to 7:15 + teach Total Strength
My Total Strength class had tons of lunges and squats and the curtsy lunges we did left me sore for 2 days right at the top of my glutes!
Friday:
Hot yoga + 3 mile walk
Saturday:
15.11 miles at 8:54 pace
Sunday
Walk and maybe some yoga depending on how I feel after I teach
What’s on your meal plan for the week?
Best workout last week?

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
