Hey there!
It's been a few weeks since sending you a weekly meal plan and exercise routine email. I don't even have an excuse because, truthfully, it seems like June was just yesterday.
The summer has flown by!
I can't believe my girls start school on Wednesday. They have not been full-time in school since March 2020! I loved having them home, but I'm not going to lie; I'm looking forward to getting back into an uninterrupted work schedule.
The last couple of weeks, I've been in back-to-school mode. We have a packed schedule this Fall, so unless I want to have a mental breakdown by the middle of September, I had to take time and get my house and kids organized for back to school.
Not sure if you remember, but in the last meal plan email, I said I was working on a new free meal plan for email subscribers. If you don't already have it, then you can download it here.
Okay, here's the meal plan for this week.

Exercise Schedule
My goal this week is to exercise 5 times. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a workout in this morning. So, I'll need to fit in some time this weekend.
Here's the exercise routine I'll follow:
- Tuesday – Cardio, arms, and core
- Wednesday – Cardio, legs, and core
- Thursday - Cardio, arms, and core
- Friday –Cardio, legs, and core
- Saturday or Sunday - Cardio and combo strength-training
I do 45 minutes on the treadmill for cardio, a combination of running and power-walking at inclines.
I do toning moves like bicep curls, tricep extensions, squats, lounges, and exercise moves like that for toning. I use 5 – 8lb weights.
I follow the exercise routines that I put together for the OYS eBook Bundle.
Habits to focus on
I'm looking forward to this summer being behind us and getting back into a solid Fall routine!
In September, these are the habits I'll be focusing on:
My morning routine. In June, I got up at 4:30 am and got a good chunk of work done between 4:30 and 7:30 am. Then I would work out, get ready, and jump back into work for a 4 more hours or so. It was a great routine that helps will get a lot accomplished. Well, I fell out of that Routine once July hit. I still woke up early, but my morning routine wasn't as a regimen. In September,r I plan to focus on putting in place a solid morning routine.
Hydration is always a focus of mine because if I don't pay attention, I won't drink enough water. So, in addition to drinking a daily smoothie, I want to drink 64 ounces of water every day.
Tracking food. This summer, I got off track with calories. Starting September 1st, I'm going to track every bite, lick, and sip.
No eating past 6:00 pm. I rarely eat after 7:00 pm, but I've been more relaxed with my eating rule these last few months. This month I'm going to be strict about not eating past 6:00 pm.
Okay, that's my weekly meal plan, exercise routine, and habits to focus on.
I want these to be helpful, so please let me know if I can expand or add anything else.
Have a great week!
Talk to you soon.
