Today I guess I go back to work "officially" since having Jackson. Clearly, I've been working for the past 11 months, just predominantly from home with an afternoon of work out once or twice a week.
This week, I start teaching (albeit, part-time) on campus again at University of North Florida. I've been looking forward to having a little more of a set schedule and the opportunity to teach college students. The reality of the situation does hit me this morning though - a little less time with Jack and more reason to stay organized with healthy living.
Meal planning is always the greatest weapon I have for staying on track through the bussiness of life. Remember, that healthy living does not happen by chance but because you have a plan.
This week my goal is to grill as much as possible. I love the flavor of grilling, the act of grilling, and most importantly, the ease of grilling. If the tropical storm doesn't ruin my plans, I hope to be grilling almost every night this week.
On Saturday I went to the Riverside Arts Market and picked up some grass-fed beef from J.D. Beef. I've had his meat before and was very pleased. I was most excited though because he had ALL the cuts of beef, including my favorite, flank steak. So that will be on the grill for sure this week!
I encourage you to take a few minutes this morning and plan out your meals and exercise for the week. Don't let the dreary rain or busy summer get you off track from staying healthy. It must be an everyday decision! You can do it.
Meal Plan for Week of June 25th
Monday: Grilled chicken and potatoes (Wrap whole potato in foil and put on the cooler side of the grill. Turn occasionally. Cook for 45-60 minutes). Salad
Tuesday: Flank Steak Tacos with peppers and onions on corn tortillas
Wednesday: Grilled fish (may need to use a fish rack for the grill), watermelon and grilled veggies
Thursday: Homemade marina with ground beef over multigrain pasta, salad
P.S. I have a few more places to blog about from our trip. Keep checking in for more on my travels.
