 OK…so it’s kind of repetitive, but it’s all clean food, and it follows Jamie’s phase 1 plan. 

Well, almost.  You’ll notice the blue highlighted boxes are NOT clean.  Friday night/Saturday morning is a good friend of mine’s birthday celebration.  I’m going to try to eat the best I can…but, it is dinner and brunch out.  Some friends of ours do a monthly dinner and this Sunday is our turn to host.  So, I am making Lasagna…already promised before I started this program.     

I could beat myself up about “cheating” already, but life has to go on, and these social occasions are important. 

By the way, I log my food using http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ and my profile is public so you can follow exactly what I am eating each day, including portion sizes there.  (Just don’t look at too many of the diary entries prior to 1/6/14…)

To make this easier, I did a lot of food prep yesterday.  The stuff I prepped should last through the week and keep me from abandoning the plan due to time constraints.

Homemade Pumpkin Protein Bars (Recipe Here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-easons-livefit-recipes-pumpkin-protein-bars.html )

 

These bars are supper yummy!  Even the baby liked them.

12 Eggs White Muffins

 

4 Baked Chicken Breasts

4 Steamed (read poked and nuked) Sweet Potatoes

Steamed Broccoli

 

All stacked up in the fridge and ready to go!!  At least breakfast and lunches are.  I will be making dinner every night…just so we have something fresh and different each night.

The 3 Bean Turkey Chili and Fish in Foil dinners are also Jamie Eason recipes which you can find here:
