LIIFT4 Meal Plan: Week 8 PLUS Labor Day Recipes!
The final week is upon us, and I am so excited to see everyone’s results! I’ll post a recap next week including tips on modifying the workouts for my fellow pregnant fitness folk. I threw together the LIIFT4 meal plan for week 8 kind of quickly because this week has been a struggle. Nevertheless, it’s one of my favorites because it includes some healthy options for Labor Day.
If you’re struggling to come up with snacks to fill the gaps between meals, check out week 5’s meal plan. I have a long list at the end of the post.
As always, this meal plan works for 21 Day Fix, 80 Day Obsession, or any other program that follows the portion fix system.
