Hammer & Chisel Week 5

Week 5 was an interesting rotation of workouts. It was also the week I did a FULL CHIN UP! It was tough to get back to the 5am workout after the holiday, but with Energize I knew I’d be able to rock the workout once I got myself out of bed.

Look who I got to meet during week 5! That was awesome!

My meal plan was not executed well, but I still did a good job with nutrition. I didn’t make all the items I had planned to make because I didn’t want to waste anything. Sometimes I prepare too much food and can’t eat it all in a week. My usual day of packing food had been a veg/ healthy fat, a fruit and 2 proteins, some with a partial veg. This week I dropped taking a protein for the end of the day and ate that when I got home around 4ish. Then I’d eat dinner a little later than usual – I think this helps me snack less at night.

Here’s my schedule of eating:

  • 7:30 shakeology  (❤️protein, 🍇fruit, tsp)
  • 9:30 (💚veg with 💙healthy fat)
  • Noon (❤️protein,💛carb, 💚veg)
  • 2:30ish (💜fruit)
  • 4ish (❤️protein, 💚veg, 💛carb)
  • 6:30 (❤️protein, 💚veg)

This plan keeps carbs and fruits before 6pm. However if I feel snack-y later on I may have another fruit. I figure that’s better than my other sweet snack choices- poptarts and chocolate chips!

I received the recharge performance line product and will try that a couple of times during week 6 – on heavy lifting days. Guess which day of thr week is my favorite?!
