This is week 2 of my super duper FAT LOSS PLAN.  Yesterday I wrote my meal plan for the week as well as a shopping list.  I already went to the grocery store and bought everything I need for the week.  Today I will make both my Be-Fit Muffins and my Veggie Quiches so that I have snacks for the week.  

Last week I did great and I also really enjoyed all my meals.  That is what is really great about choosing your own meal plan.  Danny is also doing amazing.  I am so proud of him.  Even when we went out for dinner he asked for salad and veggies for his sides instead of french fries and potatoes au gratin!  Gosh, it makes it so much easier when he is on board.  For snacks he has been alternating between almonds and cashews and a few days he had spinach turkey meatballs as a snack.  I normally have eggs with a tad of cottage cheese melted in them and avocado or Be Fit Muffins and Veggie Quiches.  Sometimes I also have left over's for snacks, which I usually really look forward to cuz they are so yummy!  I made some unbelievable Asian Turkey Meatballs last night!  I will unveil this recipe at cooking class which starts on September 1st.  Email me if you are interested in reserving your spot for Eat to be Fit Cooking Class.

My weekend was not so bad, all my meals were perfect but I did indulge in some wine and chocolate chip cookies, but all in moderation, of course.  You see, you can still get amazing results and not feel deprived.  That is the trick!  To not feel deprived and enjoy what you eat.

Yesterday was a protein day (Fire Meal Day) and today is a Fuel Day, which means I get to eat carbs today.  My snack is right about now and I am going to have my son Nicholas' favorite new concoction, we will call it Nico's Creamy Chicken Bowl.  I urge you to try it!  It sounds super weird but it is DEELISH and ridiculously easy to make.

Healthy Recipe:  Nico's Creamy Chicken Bowl:

In a bowl mix cooked brown rice (prefereably short grain), grilled or baked chopped chicken, shelled edamame, a tablespoon or two of cottage cheese and avocado.  Mush it all up and enjoy!  Its creamy, delicious, filling and healthy.  Let me know what you think.

My workouts have been kicking my butt!  I have been super sore but I love it!  Here is day 2:
