Time for a meal plan

I never make meal plans for anyone.  Why? 


I think if I give you a grocery list with "safe" foods and "not safe" foods you'll learn to make better decisions.  If I give you a set list with 7-10 meals on it the majority of people will make one mistake and then trash the whole thing or they will get bored with the same foods and throw it away.

However, I'm going against what I normally do and I'm making a sample meal plan(s) for anyone interested.

Here we go -

Meal 1. 2 Whole eggs, and 3 egg whites plus 3 pieces of turkey bacon. 7am


Meal 2. BCAA powder and creatine (For me this is around 10am)

Meal 3 Lunch.  3-4 pieces lean brisket, 4-5 pieces deli turkey, 1/2 cup green beans, 2 cups of water.  I usually have more veggies here or a huge salad with no dressing.  I use avocado and salsa as a dressing.

Meal 4.  4 pieces of turkey, hand full of grapes or blue berries, or raspberries.  Or I skip this

Meal 5 DINNER:  A huge salad with grilled chicken, steak or tuna or any type of grilled meat (fish, shrimp, chicken breast, steak, lean ground turkey.


That is a typical day for me.

Here are the veggies I always use:  lettuce, spinach, collard greens, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, red pepper, yellow pepper, green pepper, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, celery, sweet potatoes and olives.

Meats:  Fish is first- salmon, trout, tuna, and mackerel.  Chicken Breast, turkey breast, lean ground turkey, lean cuts of pork, shrimp and lean lean cuts of red meat.

Fruit: berries, apples, pears, peaches, plums, bananas, oranges, and grapefruit.  I limit fruit to one time per day.

Choose.

 

I want to lose weight, but I choose fast food.
I want to run a 5k but never run outside of the gym.
I want to leave a legacy but I never do anything to improve myself.


Get out of your own way.

Bellegrass Boot Camp Results

BOOT CAMP = RESULTS
Check out what current campers are saying, who have now moved on to the on-going, Athletic Training Class.













Jenny has lost a total of 17 lbs!
What was your life like prior to VSC? How did you feel emotionally? Physically? Mentally?

"My husband and I lead very on-the-go and social lifestyles. We’re constantly on the road, going here and there. I was guilty of using that as an excuse as to why I had put on weight. I thought since we were never home and were mostly “out” in social settings that I had to eat the way I was eating. My energy level was low and again, I weighed the most I had ever weighed. “I don’t have time to eat right or exercise,” is not a valid excuse. There’s always time to better you."

What results have you seen since joining the VSC boot camp?
"Everyone is so extremely supportive. Just when you think you can’t run another step or do another push up, someone is right by your side encouraging you to keep going and to get the most out of your work out. My fears about participating in the boot camp almost outweighed my want to join, but after I got out of bed and tackled that first day, I knew this was what I needed to be doing! When I began in April, the first time I was challenged to run a ½-mile, I can’t even remember how many times I walked throughout the run. Today, I can run a ½-mile and talk a little while doing it. I even joked about doing a ½ marathon in February. (Hey, who knows how much progress I’ll have made come February!)


In 1 month Stephanie lost 3 inches in her waist and 4.5 inches in her hips!
Why did you join Versus S&C?

I wanted a workout plan that I could stick to and not having to think about what to do at the gym to get results is a big deal to me.

What was your life like prior to VSC? How did you feel emotionally? Physically? Mentally?
I was physically drained all the time, even walking up a flight of stairs was difficult. Mentally I know deep down I can get back in shape but emotionally I felt like it was too hard to obtain my goals.

What results have you seen since joining the VSC boot camp?
My confidence is up and I know that I can do reach my goals. Even though I am not there yet, I am encouraged by the changes in my size. In 1 month I lost 3 inches in my waist and 4.5 inches in my hips! Although I have not lost many pounds...5 lbs total is more than nothing, I know for a fact that muscle is replacing fat and if I stay consistent I will reach my goals. I have WAY more energy to keep up with my kids and have improved my fitness goals.

Has VSC helped you break through any mental barriers?
Absolutely! From being depressed about my weight and size and the worst shape of my life to KNOWING that I can do this.
