Meal Plan 7/7/14-7/13/14

The first week on my PIYO/Paleo inspired meal plan didn't go super great. I was able to stay near to my "allowances" and I kept track of my calories via My Fitness Pal and while I did go over a few days, it wasn't by too much (on average.)

Weekly Planning Recap...Weekend Planning...

Last night, Hubby & I finally watched Lone Survivor. I may be the last person in America to watch this, but I knew it was going to be hard to watch. I knew I would be very emotional. And I was right. It was an amazing film, but I cried most of the way through it. God Bless the men and women who willingly sacrifice and put their lives on the line to fight for freedom, for us and for others.

The beginning of the week went pretty well as far as following my plan. Thursday, Hubby was off work, so we went downtown to the Aquarium and had a late lunch with a friend. After that, we came home and took a nap, then watched a movie and some TV. I have to get better following my daily plan.
