This is a bit daunting to me because it's rather pricey and we have a contract and well, frankly, I hate commitment. I am hoping, though, that this will work out and I'll be 20-30 pounds lighter by January (which my trainer informed me should be possible as long as I'm "doing my part" and eating right and all that jazz)... I might add that I looooove food so feel free to keep me accountable so that I don't eat crap. I'm trying to get Adam to just not buy it and tempt me by keeping it in the house. We were laying around talking last night after our first workout (which was awesome btw... I'll tell you more about the gym later!) and decided to come up with some form of a more routine meal plan. We're creatures of habit. We go to the same restaurants so often they know us by name. We watch the same shows on Netflix and Hulu. We're a boring old couple and I like it like that. It makes our spontaneity all the more fun. Plus, we're broke college kids so this will help with the temptation to buy random food that we'll never eat because that seems to happen all too often.
Anyway, here is our tentative weekly meal plan. Granted, we have room for change because no one is going to shoot us if we decide to eat something different than what we have written, but we're hoping this will keep us on track and make us healthier. Also, a nice picture of some yummy looking sushi because I sure do love sushi. =]
Monday- Well, tonight we decided to have rice and veggies, etc... but I might just call this our oriental night because I love Japanese and Chinese food and I need to learn more recipes than just rice and veggies. =]
Tuesday- Tofu Tuesday! Haha. This is pretty much just any recipe with tofu. It's hard to not be healthy when you're cooking with tofu.
Wednesday- Adam calls this his "burgers and fries night", but I'm just going to deem it as grilling out night because I don't eat burgers, but I sure do love some grilled squash.
Thursday- We discussed this for awhile and decided that we would allow ourselves some flexibility and have Spaghetti Thursday. If we don't want Spaghetti that night though, we'll go out to eat somewhere healthy, of course... (and if I have my way it will be sushi) and save Spaghetti Thursday for Spaghetti Friday!
Friday- If spaghetti Thursday stays intact THIS will be our going out to eat day. Obviously, if we eat out Thursday then Friday will be saved for Sketti (as I like to call it)...
Saturday- PIZZA SATURDAY! Homemade pizza with our homemade crust and whatever we decide to toss on it.
Sunday- Sunday needs some help so feel free to recommend something... keeping in mind that I don't eat meat and Adam does (or at least isn't opposed to it)... I thought maybe Pasta Sunday or Casserole Sunday.... any thoughts??
Hopefully this will help add some structure to our lives. While we our creatures of habit, with work it is hard to maintain a regular eating/sleeping schedule so that's the real goal here.
Anyway, back to the gym. Our gym has a pool, sauna (infused with eucalyptus!), cycling, zumba classes, weights, treadmills, everything you could think of and it rocks my world! I'm hoping the fun atmosphere will keep us going (or at least the $$ we're paying every month!) As always, I'll keep you updated.
Have a wonderful day. =]
