What I'm Eating this Week

It's no secret I'm continuously changing my eating and workout plan up. I struggle with portion control and just trying to fuel my body with the right stuff.


Here is what I know:

• Whole30 and/or Paleo works for me. 
• On that same note, Atkins or very low carb works for me.
• BIG calorie deficits work for me.
• I'm impatient!!!
• I work out hard - but maybe not hard enough.

So knowing all these, I've devised a plan that sorta incorporates it all.

Going forward:

•  I'm using Fitness Pal to count my calories every day (good and bad).
• I'm upping my running to 25-30 road miles per week.
• I'll do 3 HIIT workouts per week at the gym on the treadmill.
• I'll do 3 weight sessions per week at the gym or at home with my own equipment.
• I'll be eating 1200-1500 calories per day and adjusting accordingly for long run days.
• I'm eating Whole30 style Monday-Friday lunch. Friday night dinner and Saturday and Sunday i will allow myself more freedom. Not crazy freedom but I refuse to believe I can't enjoy social settings that involve food going forward. 

I also know I like routine. Even with my food. So this is what this week's breakfast and lunch look like:

Breakfast (along with iced coffee (from my house) with 2 Splenda and sugarfree creamer):

 Now, I know this might not seem perfect for everyone, but this type of breakfast works for me. I'll be monitoring how my weight responds each week.

Lunch this week:

Grilled chicken breast, roasted green beans and also a serving of fruit.

I'm working on which snacks I consume. I was abusing my raw almonds so those are out!

It's a work in progress. I'm just trying to be more patient. Oh and don't worry, I have no trouble hitting my calories each day - even if these meals don't look like much!
