I'm on Day Four of the Les Mills Pump Jump Start plan from the Nutrition Guide. While I am following it, I modified it a bit to be more cost effective. I'm not making 7 different breakfasts, lunch, dinners and snacks. Example: Yesterday and today I did the Whole Wheat English Muffin with Almond Butter and Apricot Preserves. It was one of the less costliest breakfasts. I have also done the Spicy Tuna salad (but I have to saute those two cups of mixed greens! Raw greens are just not doable for me!) every other day. I couldn't buy just 3 oz of ground turkey for the Turkey Meatballs with whole wheat spaghetti so I made 18 meatballs with the 19 oz package and cooked up the whole box of wheat spaghetti. I then got individual containers and portioned out the spaghetti, 3 meatballs and marinara sauce among them. Quick and easy dinner for a few nights. The fresh apricots I bought for the apricot and cottage cheese breakfast spoiled so quickly. :/ I am surprised to learn that the Chocolate Shakeology actually tastes GOOD when made with only water! I did splurge and bought a yellowfin tuna steak for the Japanese Tuna dinner. 4 oz cooked for me and the rest was split between some of the kids. :)
I bought a cheap kitchen scale to measure out my food. I ordered a Polar FT4 heart rate monitor that is scheduled to arrive TODAY! *happy dance* I'm contemplating buying a Striiv pedometer because I want to keep track of how active I am during the day and I love the idea that it comes with a built in sim-like game.
Before I forget, here are my photos from the beginning of the month. So after 210 days worth of Beachbody programs, here are my Day 1 Les Mills Pump Before photos:
