Weekly Meal Plan: October 1 – October 7

Rather than make this program-specific, I wanted to leave it open-ended for people following the portion fix system. These options will work for people following the 21 Day Fix, 80 Day Obsession, and LIIFT4 meal plan. Huzzah! Later this month, I’ll be featuring healthier options for Halloween treats. If you have a family favorite you’d like to see me cover, […]

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 […]

LIIFT4 Meal Plan: Week 5

The LIIFT4 meal plan for week 5 is a little different than the previous meal plans. I didn’t include the flavor of shake I’d be drinking or my snack choice. I was feeling a little too hindered by doing that, so I planned out the main meals, and leaving the rest up to my whims each day. That may not work for […]

Three Cheese Zucchini Bake

This Three Cheese Zucchini Bake recipe was created out of laziness.  Every Sunday, I go shopping for the week, and every Sunday, I buy zucchini and eggplant with the plan of making zoodles and eggplant chips. As of the writing of this post, I’ve made zoodles zero times and eggplant chips exactly once. We’ve been trying to incorporate more meatless […]

Best Chili Recipe EVER!

Yes, this is THE best chili recipe EVER! I’m very humble. I know. It’s taken me a few years to perfect this. In the beginning, I relied on tomato juice for a lot of the flavor. It’s an easy filler and is a cheap addition…it’s also full of a bunch of junk we don’t need. This is how much sodium […]

LIIFT4 Meal Plan: Week 2

As I suspected, Plan C was a little too much food for me most days, so I’ve revamped my meal plan to correlate with Plan B. The great thing about this meal plan is that I can not only do that, but I can move back up to Plan C on days where my pregnancy cravings are stronger than normal. Have […]

Burrito Bowl

A burrito bowl is one of the most versatile, quick-and-easy meals you can make. When it’s time to clean out leftovers in the fridge, burrito bowls are there. When you have a hodge-podge of ingredients in the cabinet, burrito bowls are there. There’s really nothing these delectable dishes can’t accomplish, and they’re super cheap to make! We have Dillons grocery stores in […]

LIIFT4 Meal Plan: Week 1

Simple. That’s the best way to describe the meal plan for LIIFT4: simple. It gives you general instructions on what to eat throughout the day and recommends you stay within a 30/40/30 ratio of protein, carbs, and healthy fats. You decide when those meals occur and how you pair them up. A food list has been provided for the main macros […]

Double Chocolate Cookies

Double Chocolate Cookies are one of the 80 Day Obsession approved foods from the Fixate cooking show. It was my favorite of the treats from our first Refeed Day. They look like the really gooey cookies you get from the bakery at Dillon’s without all the processed garbage in them. Processed garbage is delicious, I know. Most of us will […]

Applesauce & Berry Parfait (with Chocolate!)

My meal planning has been non-existent this week. Perfect for developing a new parfait for week 2 of Phase 2, right? Let it not be said that I don’t do things as ass-backwards as humanly possible. Yesterday afternoon, I prepped my dirty carbs for Refeed Day. I didn’t plan the rest of the meals to complement them. Normally, I’d just saute some […]
