Next Week's Food and Fitness Plan

"A goal without a plan is just a wish.”    ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Ok - my first time writing all of this down this way but thinking it might help me out!


I am going to do a modified 5 Day Fast Forward but subbing out a "normal" dinner(i.e.  husbands term, not mine)!

If you are interested - the typical 5 Day Fast forward from the SASS Diet (formally known as Cinch) by Cynthia Sass.

Scramble – 8am (1 cup spinach, 1 egg, 1 cup raspberries, 2 TBSP almonds)

Parfait – 12:30pm (6 oz nonfat yogurt, 1 cup raspberries, 2 TBSP almonds)

Salad – 5:30PM (2 cup spinach, 1 egg, 1 cup raspberries, 2 TBSP almonds)
Smoothie – 10:00pm (6 oz nonfat yogurt, 1 cup raspberries, 2 TSP almond butter)

This is designed to kick start weight loss and the first time I lost 8 Lbs in 5 days with the majority of the weight coming off in the first 3 days.  That said, IT WAS HARD.  IT SUCKED.  But, it worked and I am keenly focused on making great strides this month....hell, it's march!  Spring is right around the corner and I have 78 days until vacay!  So, it's on like Donkey Kong!

Breakfast:  Berry Smoothie - 1 scoop ISOPure (sue me, I am using protein powder instead of an egg), 1/2 Cup Bluberries, 1/2 Raspberries, 1 Cup Spinach, 2 TBSP Sliced Almonds

Lunch - 1 Cup Fage Greek Yogurt 0%, 1/2 Cup Bluberries, 1/2 Raspberries, 2 TBSP Sliced Almonds 

Snack - 1 Cup Fage Greek Yogurt 0%, 1/2 Cup Bluberries, 1/2 Raspberries, 1TBSP raw Almond Butter

Dinner - 300 calorie Salad based dinner with Protein

I sub out 1/2 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup raspberries for all raspberries since (a)that many raspberries are disgusting and expensive yo!  I also have a snack before dinner instead of a smoothie at 10pm...Otherwise, I would not make it through without  turning into a crazed, starving maniac...oh, and bitchy.

So my day looks like this (minus dinner) -

Yes - I know it is low on the calorie side but with using my salmon, spinach salad as an example I will end up somewhere in the neighborhood of:

I will try to do a daily update to see how I go.  I have a jam packed tomorrow so Monday, it is!  If I am being honest, I am posting this so I will feel accountable to actually DO it.

On the fitness side, I am going to do strength training 3 days and some sort of cardio 5 times for my 5 day fun hell fest. 

Probably looking something like:
Mon - Elliptical 30-50 mins (depending on energy level), Strength Training
Tues - 1 Hour Trail Walk
Weds - Elliptical 30-50 mins (depending on energy level), Strength Training

Thurs - 1 Hour Trail Walk

Friday - Elliptical 30-50 mins (depending on energy level), Strength Training
Almost wish it was Monday already!  :)
