Week 1 Check In - Bikini Series Tone It Up 2015

Week 1 Bikini Series

Well here we are… at the end of Week 1. It wasn’t all that bad of a week, but I definitely have some things to improve on next week.

I didn’t start when I was supposed to (it started Sunday) but I didn’t really start following the plan until Tuesday. I haven’t had a problem eating 5 times a day; obviously because I LOVE to eat haha.

Here are my meals from this week.

Day 3
M1: Blueberry Protein Muffins w/ 1 cup strawberries & 1 cup almond milk 
M2: 1 banana w/ peanut butter & chia seeds
M3: Spicy Shrimp Wrap
M5: Coconut & Macadamia nut encrusted tilapia & roasted asparagus

Day 4
M1: 2 egg whites w/ 1/2 plum tomato w/ basil
M2:Chia pudding & small apple
M3: Mixed greens w/ 1/4 cup of blueberries & raspberries & pistachios w/ honey lemon dressing
M5: baked chicken breasts w/ 1/4 cup quinoa & left over roasted asparagus

Day 5
M1: 1 whole egg, 2 egg white w/ 1/4 cup green pepper
M2: 3/4 cup plain greek yogurt w/ 1 tbs of shredded coconut
M3: Mixed Greens w/ quinoa burger and honey lemon dressing
M5: I had a work dinner so it was a catered meal... boy did I splurge lol

Day 6
M1: Blueberry Protein Muffins w/ ACV shot mixed with apple juice
M2: 3/4 cup plain greek yogurt w/ 1 tbs shredded coconut
M3: Grilled chiken wrap w/ provolone cheese, baby spinach, roasted red peppers & tomatoes. added some balsamic vinaigrette the chicken was a little dry.
M4: Couscous primavera with red grains  
M5: 1/2 cup whole wheat pasta w/ turkey meatballs & 1/4 cup marinara sauce

Day 7

M1: Protein pancakes w/ raspberries and maple syrup. Also had the base for the breakfast banana bowl
M2: carrots and sundried tomato/basil hummus
M3: This is DEFINITELY not TIU approved but I had Mac & cheese. I was craving it so I treated myself. I didn't eat a lot just a 1/2 cup
M5: 2 grilled chicken wings and roasted beets

I have to admit that I only started working out on Day 6, so I only got in two days of the workouts. So I’m hoping to get at least 4 days working out next week. I know I have to workout everyday at least a little bit in order to get the results that I want.

My goals for Week 2: 

1. Do at least 3 BootyCalls

2. Try not to stray for the meal plan as much

3. Treat myself to a massage, my aching muscles will probably thank me!

The Tone It Up community is absolutely amazing! I’ve met some very amazing woman who are all about motivating each other and supporting each other as well! It is so nice to know that you have that support. I found a #TIUSister and we text just about every day and talk about our previous day and struggles and our upcoming day.

Going to the grocery store today to get all the things I need for Week 2. I’m on vacation this week so I’m excited to sleep in and get my #bootycalls in every morning (hopefully). I’ll be checking in at the end of each week, and I’ll post pics of me mid-way (Week 4) and then at the end of the Bikini Series.

That’s all for now!
