All right! I thought it would be too long of a post to put both my recaps and my plans into one, so I decided to separate the posts out. Here’s my week 2 plan.
Workout Plan
I thought I’d try a little bit of a circuit approach this week. I’ve chosen 6 relatively targeted exercises that I will repeat 3-5 times and I’ve included core workouts in each day. I threw the core stuff in the middle to break up the pressure on the target areas and because I hate doing core workouts so I’m hoping everything else will look easy in comparison.

Meal Plan
So there were some obvious failings last week that I can learn from. First and foremost, I didn’t really stick to my meal plan.
At all.
I prepped the zucchini noodles and pesto, but never actually ate them. I think I would have found this meal more appetizing freshly made versus reheating in the microwave for a lunch. I didn’t even make the stuffed peppers (which means they’ll get recycled for this week) and the southwest hash was actually a pain to cook.
So here’s to week 2 and making things simpler and more tempting!
Breakfasts
- More Cheerios and almond milk
- Overnight oats
Lunches
- Stuffed peppers
- Leftovers
Snacks
- Yogurt and frozen fruit. I really enjoyed this option last week.
- Unsweetened applesauce
Dinners
- Ratatouille (I’ve always wanted to try this and if I chop all the veggies during the weekend prep stage, there’s no reason not to! Although I’ll swap the eggplant for summer squash because eggplant = ick.)
- Butternut Squash Risotto (I’ve never made a risotto either, but it sounds simple enough! I already have my butternut squash chopped up, just need to roast and puree it.)
I’m excited about this week’s meal plan, actually. I like trying new things, but I think it’s best to keep those experiments to dinner time. I get busy at work and don’t usually think about eating until around 1 or 2 pm when I’m suddenly starving. Then, if I’ve brought something new with me, it tends to look unappetizing and I reach for something less healthy. Hopefully these choices will help me avoid this.
That’s it for this week, friends! Have a great week!
I love it, Brynn! That’s what it’s all about right, finding what works best for you? Get it, girl. That butternut squash risotto looks amazing– I’m anxious to hear how it is!

Thanks girl! I’m super excited about the risotto as well. Gotta use up that already cut up squash.
