This week was a difficult week. My nephew just graduated USMC boot camp and was home for 10 days (he left today) so I was gone visiting him (which makes it harder to eat healthy when you’re not home) and we had lots of yummy fattening celebration food while he was here. I did do some photographs for him though and I got some exercise walking around and shooting!
Then my hubby passed his work certification Thursday so we went out Saturday night with his sister and her man to celebrate. We went bowling (burned some calories) and ate at the Japanese Hibachi Grill where they cook right in front of you.
(Oh and we had a TON of liqueur and cookies at the bowling alley. Calories Calories Calories!)
AND I missed 4 days of working out this week. Yes FOUR.
I said it was a DIFFICULT week!
On the bright side, I did lose 3 pounds this week!
The menu plan has gotten easier. Easier to plan, not to follow. Luckily our “diet” is mostly protein!

Are you meal planning this week? If you love to cook, I’d love for you to do a crock pot recipe guest post. See this post to learn more.
We all have our “off weeks”. The key to success is to not let it stop you. Keep trucking forward. “Do your best, forget the rest”. So far we haven’t missed a workout, and have done really well with our eating. I don’t weigh in until Wednesday, but last week I lost 5lbs!!
Does this High Protein diet warp your body a bit? I’ve started getting “backed up”, and breaking out in places I never have before. The last time we did this program I didn’t have nearly as much protein as we do now. Last time my skin got clearer, not worse. I think this maybe the culprit behind the breakouts. I can’t wait to cut back down on protein!!
Wow you haven’t missed a workout! That’s marvelous! 😉 I haven’t really noticed many changes but I’m sure we are getting a lot more fiber than we were before.
I’m so excited we are doing this at the same time! I’m sure your menu plan will help me find new food ideas too! I really recommend the turkey burgers!
Oh and I’ve seen the Insanity but never actually tried it!
Your nephew looks handsome, and so young! It sounds like you had a busy but fun week.
All of your recipes look delicious. Good luck this week!
You are doing P90X too?! I’m glad I stopped by! My hubby and I are on week 5. Maybe we can encourage eachother!! Our workouts have been good but eating not the best. I’ve done a couple posts about our progress.
That’s awesome! I love finding other couples doing P90X!! Visiting you now…
