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.)

Meal Plan 7/1/14-7/6/14
I am shopping on Monday 6/30, so this is a Tuesday through Sunday meal plan.
Last week, I received my PIYO challenge box. My lovely sister, Becky, is a BeachBody Coach and she encouraged me to try this workout and to join her 60 day challenge group to kickstart my fitness. I have slacked off immensely since my Half last October and moving in November. I have tried a couple of the workouts already and am liking the program so far. The challenge group starts July 7th and I can not wait!
If you aren't aware, PIYO is a mixture of pilates and yoga designed to be a great fat-burning and toning workout without all the high-impact pounding or complex dance moves. I love yoga although I don't keep up with a regular practice and I've loved any pilates that I've tried, plus I just am not in any motivated state to get back into a high-intensity running program.
I am working on utilizing the PIYO "Eating Lean" meal structure. For my personal calorie target I am "allowed" 5 servings of primary vegetables, 2 servings of secondary vegetables & grains, 2 servings of fresh fruit, 5 servings of lean protein, and 4 servings of healthy fats (including nuts and nut butters). The PIYO workout comes with this Eating Lean plan and lists out for you all the categories to give you ideas. It also gives you the equation to figure out your own calorie target. I am also trying to stick to about an 80% paleo-ish diet. Basically, it's clean eating at it's finest for me right now, I will be staying away from grains, beans/legumes, corn, and white potatoes as much as I can. I am going to allow myself some grace to live life and not be a prisoner of my 'diet.' All meals are served with water (including snacks). My daily water goal is going to be a minimum of 80 oz, but I will strive to hit 120 oz. per day since it is pretty HOT in FL right now.
So here we go, I'm going to break down my meals into my "allowed" categories for you.

I am trying to use up what's in my pantry, fridge and freezer with this meal plan. So, some things are most definitely NOT paleo approved, and some things may be questionable regarding the "allowable servings" for the PIYO plan. I hope to update throughout the week with pictures of the meals and/or reviews of the recipes.
