I wanted to talk more about my 7 DAY MEAL PLAN, and what it is about.

In my late teens, and early twenties, I had definite eating problems.  From binging and purging to not caring anymore and just eating and eating.

I finally found my balance, and let me tell you, it has taken a lot of time to get here.

When I say that one day it clicks, I mean it. 

I just finally was sick of my body, and my health, and made up my mind that I was going to change it.

I knew how to eat somewhat healthy, from reading about celebrity diets and blah blah haha.  I know, weird, but back even 7 years ago, I didn’t know what an influencer was like I do now, and of course they weren’t even that heard of.

Anyways, so I started by simply counting my calories.  I stuck with eating 1200 calories a day, and that is what I did for a year. 

I lost 30 lbs.  It was great.  I enjoyed my weekends still and had a good routine going and felt good about myself.

Then when I got married I got more into health, just reading articles. 

I then started to make green smoothies, started looking at labels more and making sure I wasn’t eating food dyes, artificial flavors, and GMOS.

I went to eating 1200, to eating 1500 a day.

THEN I started macros the next year.  THIS changed the ENTIRE game.

THIS is when I started to gain real muscle and get really toned.

Aside from my appearance.  This changed my overall health. I just felt GOOD.  I didn’t feel starving and I didn’t feel crazy cravings like I did before, because I was eating what my body actually needed.

I talk more about the Macro thing in this post on “ITS ALL ABOUT MACROS“.  It will explain it all.

I did this up until I got pregnant. 

Before I was pregnant I was cheating way to much on the weekends though, I will admit.

I still felt good and looked good, but by Monday every week, I just felt crummy, and it wasn’t until Wednesday of each week, that I finally felt better after following my plan for 2 days.

I also drank to much beer on the weekend haha.

So ever since having Oaks I have cut back a lot on alcohol (not that i was drinking it to much before, but I cut it out almost completely)

And I cut back on cheating so much on the weekends.

Now, I have one cheat meal a week and have a glass of wine here and there, and I feel better than ever.

THIS is how I got my abs back and even better.  I haven’t had tone like this.

So, as much as I hate to admit it, beer sucks the life out of your abs haha. At least for me.  So I keep the drinking to a minimal.

I don’t follow this plan really that much on vacations though.

Okay, so anyways.  This EBOOK was designed to keep you healthy and feeling SO Good.  I love this book, every single day of my life.

I don’t believe in crazy low carb diets.  I don’t think it is healthy to eat under 100 carbs a day.

Not bashing on any diet, this is just my personal opinion.

Also, not saying they don’t work, but I believe in something you will do forever.

This will keep you from binging out, and keep you healthy and feeling great all the time.

I have done crazy diets.  They didn’t work for me. I was at my heaviest when I would cut out carbs.  Because I would end up binging out.

To each their own, but this Meal Plan is to keep you healthy and feeling good, and not starved.

If you’re a busy on the go mom, then this will help!  I don’t have a ton of time to cook, so this plan works.

AND not to mention the energy you need to help you get through the day chasing your babies around.

It is not specifically designed for each individual, but it will definitely give you so many ideas, and you can modify it however you want!

Here is the post I did about my 7 DAY MEAL PLAN

Let me knoif you have any questions at all, or if you have it, let me know how it’s going!

I am headed on a cruise this weekend for a week, and I wanted to talk about staying on track with your goals, or maintaining your weight and health when on vacation, while still having a good time.

Now, I like to drink and eat.  That is what vacations are about right?  Not worrying about a thing, because we all need a break from reality every once in a while.

I don’t want to know whats in what, and I certainly don’t track on vacation, BUT I do subconsciously know what I am eating and what I am putting in my body, and I do make sure its not all so terribly awful the whole week.

One week of shitty eating can really set you back sometimes from goals.

Here is some tips It took me several years to kinda figure out.

I like to chose one meal a day that I can kinda splurge on and keep the rest very light.

For me, I cannot start my day off by eating a bad meal and feeling gross.  It really sets the tone for me, even on vacation.

I will have a nibble of TJs sometimes, but I eat healthy for breakfast every time. 

Lunch the same way.  I will order a salad with some chicken, and maybe a side of fries, or chips and guac, nice glass of rose, or red wine, or maybe even a lighter beer.  Keep it on the lighter side with all things.

For dinner, I will chose a protein and some potatoes or fries.  But I will chose what I want and eat what I want, but I won’t scarf my face until I want to puke… unless of course I do ha.

Another thing is try and get exercise in every day.  Find a gym at the hotel, or run on the beach, or run anywhere really.

I get in extra cardio when I am on vacation. 

For me, TJ and I love to run together on vacations so that is what I typically do.

I have never been on a cruise, so I plan to find a gym there and just hurry and get a quick 30 mins in before I start my day.

Most importantly enjoy yourself and try not to worry to much!  Just don’t go absolutely crazy and eat everything in site the whole time.

You will be totally fine, and before you know it you will be back on your routine again.

That is what I have learned from my vacations and what has worked and what has put me off track.

I HAVE gone crazy on vacations and its ended up being just fine, but I did gain a pound or two haha.

If that happens, DON’T WORRY.  Just work extra hard the following week to lose what you gained.  

It’s all fun, until your jeans don’t fit haha.

Also, don’t get me wrong.  Healthy eating isn’t all about appearance, I do it to feel good, and so I can live longer for my family.

Another thing, just LIVE and have fun!
