Weekend Photos and Post 4th of July Meal Plan and Prep

After a great (but indulgent) 4th of July weekend, I wanted to come up with a meal plan that was simple but healthy  for the upcoming week. Before I get to that, I’ll share some pictures from the weekend.

So onto the meal plan…

That’s the plan for the week, and you can find the form I use here.

You can also find most of the recipes on my Pinterest Board.

These meals didn’t involve too much prep work, so hopefully they will still come together quickly during the week!

What are you planning to cook this week?

What did you do for the 4th of July weekend?

    I’m so glad that you had such an awesome weekend! I’m glad that the storms didn’t affect you too much. I spent the majority of my fourth on the couch with a fever. WOOooohoooo. I did make an amazing recipe though, so I am chuffed about that. And did a good (but TOUGH) long run. But I have no idea what is in the cards for us eating wise this week!

      We got really lucky with the weather this weekend! It rained a little Friday morning but by Saturday there was no humidity! Sorry to hear you were sick, but at least you eventually got your run in!

    I felt the exact same way this morning, ready to detox all the goodies of this weekend and get back on track!

      Exactly! Weekends like that are fun but I always feel better when I get back to my usual eating habits.

    We had a full weekend of family friends and bbqs too, it was fun but I’m exhausted today and so are my kids! I’m actually doing the cpr training tonight from 6-10 and that is definitely not good timing, but just need to get it done with. I also have no clue what I’m making for dinner this week! Hope you enjoy the chicken thighs, they are so easy and good 🙂

      Im excited to try your recipe!
      Hopefully the CPR training won’t last the whole time!

    I know what you mean about having a good, but indulgent weekend! Holidays are good and bad like that! A trip to Atlantic CIty definitely did me in. Your family pictures look great!

    Looks like you had a great weekend! I love your chevron skirt. I ran a 5K this weekend and enjoyed my time with family and friends.

1 month to go! Who else is just trying to survive 1 month to go! Who else is just trying to survive the peak weeks of marathon training? #running #marathontraining
You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. J You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. Just living that 3:30am alarm clock life and chugging gels like it’s my job. #longrun #marathontraining #lifeofashowgirl
Has to be a quick dance party because I’m alread Has to be a quick dance party because I’m already running late! Why does this album get stuck in my head during all of my runs? #running #marathontraining #lifeofashowgirl
19 miles! 7 on the treadmill, 12 outside, 1,272 to 19 miles! 7 on the treadmill, 12 outside, 1,272 total feet of elevation gain. Amazing weather. Listened to Life of a Showgirl on the treadmill and had some podcasts saved for my outside run but couldn’t get my headphones to connect. This was challenging by the end and I kept thinking how hard it would be if I needed to run another 7 miles today (and all miles at a faster pace) but this is why we train. Feeling like I’m in a good place with 6 weeks to go! How was your run today? #run #marathontraining #longrun
