Week 2: Lean 2015 Challenge
Hi Lean 2015 Challengers! Congrats on making it through Week 1, and welcome to Week 2 of the challenge.
The healthy goals for this week are hydration and sleep! Make it a priority this week to get to bed early and get the rest you need – aim for 8 hours. Also, hydrate with at least 3 liters of water a day to flush out toxins and keep your hair, skin and nails healthy. If you need help tracking your sleep and water for the day consider getting a FitBit or other activity tracker. Another idea is to buy a liter water bottle and refill it 3 times throughout the day – before breakfast, before lunch and before dinner and finish it before each meal! It may sound like a lot of water but your body needs it and will thank you later.
Week 2 Meal Plan
This meal plan has lots of great new healthy options for breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner that you can mix and match. One of my favorites is the apple spice muffins, and the herb crusted pork. Check out the list and plan out your meals and snack for this week! Download it HERE. You can also add in any of the meals from last week that you loved. This is your healthy meal plan and your challenge so make any adjustments you need. If you would like more ideas for vegan or vegetarian meals feel free to comment below or email me.
If you have not yet downloaded your Lean 2015 Workout Calendar – print it out to follow along with the workouts every day. This week we are upping the cardio to 40 minutes so get excited! Try some new cardio ideas to mix and match throughout the week. Group cardio classes like kickboxing, step and Zumba are great fun ways to get sweating and burn off calories. I also love biking or running outside – but be sure to bundle up if you don’t live in Texas like I do. : )
We are also adding in some great fitness videos including one of my favorites: The Little Black Dress Workout – try this one today below!
