Where to begin

I am such a creature of habit it's disgusting!! When one thing changes in my life I automatically go into freak out mode of how to make my new schedule work. Even though I literally have nothing but time now I've still managed to overwhelm myself. So I get that it's not always easy to make a change and I understand (kinda) why people get comfortable and don't ever want to try something new. I guess I've been comfortable with being uncomfortable for quite awhile now though so I'll make it work just as I've been doing most of my life now.

I had a few days of fun and to let myself digest the thought of being unemployed (that took a few days of drinking....ha! J/k only one! Lol) but now I have to dive back in and get back in it. Today I'm going to go for a nice little run (just took a shot of ionix supreme and am drinking a cup of coffee as I type this)  and then take a few hours to plan and prep for the week. As if I'm not already in freak out mode, we leave for Vacation Thursday evening.....eek! Not that vacation is a bad thing ....again I'm a creature of habit! Luckily, I should have my shipment here in time to have to do one last cleanse before we hit the road and to have enough shakes to get me through vacation.....,Yes, try to stay 1/2 way healthy on vacation but that's a whole other blog!

So, today I'll take some time and share with you how I go about me planning and prepping. Remember I'm not a nutritionist I'm just a real person sharing how I do things. I'm happy to give advice or help anyone in any way that I can though. It's what I love to do and what I'll miss most about the gym So please, hit me up with any questions at any time!

This week was pretty easy to plan since we have dinner plans Wednesday and leave for vacation on Thursday. Here is peak at what I normally do for the week. Sometimes I'll switch meals through out the week but I'll always stick to the meals I have planned. This also makes it much easier when grocery shopping and helps save money since I know exactly what I need. I'm way less likely to buy junk when I have a plan for the week. (My friends think I'm horrible since I very rarely buy junk food for my house)

Since I make a lot of the same meals often I generally know the nutritional content but if I need to look something up I just enter the recipe in myfitnesspal.com and get the information from there. I always keep track of my caloric intake though. I know some people are against the calorie counting but I absolutely have to watch my calories and what I'm eating. I have a horrible metabolism and gain weight quickly if I'm not conscious of what I'm eating.

In preparation for vacation I also placed another Isagenix order to have snacks to take with me to help avoid the temptation of eating junk the whole time I'm gone. One of my favorite things about this program is that they offer several low glycemic snack options.....even chocolate.(Isadelights are a god send. For real!) so when I'm on the go I can grab a bar to take with me and not have to worry about not having so etching sensible to eat while I'm out. It makes my life much easier. 

So wish me luck as I'm off to the beach for a week. My goal is to have fun but not go completely off my diet. 

I'll let you know how it goes!
