On Monday the DietBet challenge begins! So it’s time to prep for the week ahead. Like I emphasized in my last post/video, you HAVE to prep in order to ensure success. Structure, preparation, these are all things that will help you achieve whatever goals you’re aiming for.

Main workouts for the upcoming week: Insanity Max30 & Body Shred, are each 30 minutes long. Shaun T and Jillian Michaels came out with their latest home workouts at the same time. I am a huge (like MEGA) fan of both, so instead of choosing one or the other, I do both. I sometimes have to change the order of the disks in order to not over train the same muscles. After I finish one workout, BEFORE I begin the second I always have a Vega recovery drink. This allows me to power through my second workout and helps my muscles recover faster and better.

Monday: 90-minute hot yoga class
Tuesday: Max30, Body Shred, & 10-minute abs
Wednesday: Max30, Body Shred
Thursday: Max30, 30 minute yoga, 10-minute abs 
Friday: Max30, Body Shred
Saturday: Zumba
Sunday: Max30, Body Shred, 10-minute abs

It may look like a lot to some people, but I’ve worked for 2 years to build the foundation, stamina and endurance that allows me to handle an intense workout week like this.

Meal planning is key. If you don’t meal prep, when life gets in the way you’ll be tempted to eat shitty food.

It’s about being one step ahead.

Breakfast is always shakeology for me. I eat breakfast after I’m done working out, and I always need to eat RIGHT after I exercise. A smoothie is super quick, and easy to make. My preworkout snack is always the same: tbsp of almond butter, caffeine pill, and a green energizing tonic. After breakfast I eat every 3 hours to keep my metabolism burning hot, and keep me from getting HANGRY.

Meals for the upcoming week:

Monday, Wed, & Fri:
Breakfast: Shakeology Smoothie
Lunch: Egg, ham & spinach pancakes with avocado over kale & salsa
Snack: Cucumber & Turkey Bites
Dinner: Venison burgers w/sweet potato fries

Tues, Thurs, Sat:
Breakfast: Shakeology Smoothie
Lunch: Western Omelet
Snack: Acai Smoothie bowl w/paleo granola
Dinner: Non-dairy Baked Mac & Cheese w/broccoli & chicken

Sunday:
Breakfast: Shakeology 
Lunch: Tofu Scramble
Snack: Homemade Vegan Pizza
Dinner: Spaghetti Squash w/meatballs & roasted red pepper pesto

I eat about 2,000 calories a day and then burn around 500 with my workouts. So at the end of the day I’ve consumed a total of 1,500 calories.

I’m prepared. I’m ready to rock this challenge! Are you? Are you ready to conquer whatever your version of the challenge may be?
