Tips:
-Change your bread/grain choices this week. It’s so easy to get stuck in a rut, and by varying the foods you purchase, you can get in some different nutrients. Instead of brown rice, go for quinoa or something exotic, like farro or amaranth. If you buy pre-made bread or tortillas, switch it up!
-Experiment with one new type of produce this week. Pick something that looks fresh and delicious, and while you’re at the store, search for a simple recipe to experiment with your new ingredient. One easy way to change things: get some fresh herbs, as they’re a super low cal way to add a burst of flavor and health benefits.
-Prep and plan as much as possible. Set aside some time this Sunday to chop, cook, roast, freeze, whatever you need to do to successfully eat like a PRO (lots of PROtein and PROduce) this week.
-Send in your pics! I always love to see your healthy meal creations and workout pics. Tag me @fitnessista (#wintershapeup #eatlikeaPRO) and who knows.. maybe you’ll win a surprise giveaway ?
Here’s this week’s workout calendar for those who’d like to plan ahead and shuffle this week! If you haven’t joined in, I challenge you to try one of the workouts this week. Just one! See how you like it and how ya feel, and maybe you’ll do Summer Shape Up along with us. If anything, it will be a fun switch-up to your usual routine.
The week 4 workout and all of the challenges for the week will be up tomorrow.
Happy training <3
