Food Prep, Weekly Meal Plan, and Workout Plan

I finally made a Pinterest site for the blog! It is still a work in progress, but I started organizing it this weekend. I made a board for ‘’This Week’s Meals” where I will save everything I plan to make that week, and then move it to another board if I like it and want to make it again. Check out my Pinterest page here! Now here is more about my weekly meal plan and the food prep I did this week.

Here is my weekly meal plan:

Sunday: Baked salmon (I don’t follow a recipe, I just top it with olive oil and seasoning), cous cous, veggies (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower)

Monday: Spaghetti Squash Lasanga, Salad After buying the squash and starting to prep it on Sunday, it exploded in the microwave. So I had to adjust the recipe and used penne instead of squash.

Tuesday: Turkey burgers, sweet potatoes, green beans

Wednesday:  Italian Quinoa Bowl

Thursday: Parmesan Crusted Chicken  This is Rob’s favorite meal. I have made some changes to it over the many times I have made it.

Friday: Pasta, turkey meatballs, salad

Saturday: Out to dinner for Mother’s Day

My Food Prep this Week:

I washed up some kale and pulled off the stems, to freeze and use in smoothies this week. Then I cleaned some berries for snacks.I also cut up some chicken to keep in the freezer for meals later in the week. Then I made turkey meatballs to keep in the freezer (I made 16, and split them into 2 containers of 8). I made more hummus this week, but this time its for a potluck at work. And of course we needed something sweet for this week. I baked these cookies but subbed 1/2 for the butter for 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt.

I also came up with a workout plan since I am trying to include more yoga into my routine while I have this month membership.

  • Do you have any fun recipes planned for this week?
  • Do you usually plan out your workouts ahead of time, or decide day by day?

    so maybe this is crazy, but my spaghetti squash explodes like every other time I do it in the microwave and I still use it in whatever I was planning… Crazy, right? I kind of plan my runs, not really and same with my food, but I should! You’ve totally inspired me!

      Haha well I thought about using it but most of it was all over the microwave and I needed all of it for the recipe. I couldn’t really imagine scraping it off the sides and then making the lasagna. It was also really hot so we had to wait for it to cool to clean it out. (And the next time I used the microwave it started sparking, and I have no idea why! Now I’m scared to use it.)

    I don’t plan workouts, but you and runningsouthern have inspired me to start this week! I usually have vague workout plans, but I sometimes end up skipping them because I put them off. I hope writing them down will help!

      I usually have a vague plan in my head unless I’m training for something, but I like having structure which is why I came up with the plan this week. Also, when I plan my workouts ahead of time I know which nights I will have less time to cook dinner, so I arrange our meals around that.

    I am roasting spaghetti squash as we speak! Always comes out perfect as follows: 425 degree oven, cut in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds and strings, face down on aluminum foil lined baking sheet, bake for 25 minutes. I roast the whole thing and use the second half for another meal. I’ll store it in the fridge and then warm it up when I need it.

    I’ve always wished i could get into yoga…your plan looks really good. I can’t pass up this good weather we’ve been having but would love to add some strength and yoga to my routine 🙂

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      That method sounds great! I’ve done it in the oven before but I was trying to take a shortcut doing it in the microwave:) I always have a hard time cutting through it before its cooked.
      I go through phases with yoga…right now I really like it but at times I just can’t bring myself to slow down and take an hour plus out of my day to get there. I can walk to my yoga studio, so it gives me an opportunity to get out and enjoy the weather!

    I just wrote about tracking workouts today… I haven’t really been following a plan but I am excited to get back to it.
    For spaghetti squash I do the same as Michele mentioned above but I use a baking sheet with sides and have a small amount of water on the bottom of the pan to keep the spaghetti squash moist.

      I feel like I need some structure to my workouts, so when I’m not training for anything I go a little crazy without a training plan:)
      Thanks for the tip on cooking the squash! I will have to do it in the oven from now on. I was trying to save time doing it in the microwave but it’s not worth risking another explosion!

    You are crazy organized and I’m super impressed. Your spaghetti squash microwave incident proved to me that you are human though! Keep up the good work. #bestfoot

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      May 6, 2014 at 12:26 pm

      Haha yes while my organization is pretty intense I still have A LOT to learn in the kitchen:)

    I need to learn from you. Your food prep is brilliant! Tonight’s meal was actually planned out yesterday which is a HUGE step for me! (Pretty pathetic, huh? haha) Great workout plan as well!

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      May 6, 2014 at 12:31 pm

      One step at a time with the meal planning:) I have a feeling if you do it all over the weekend once you will be hooked!

  7. Laura @ RunningJunkie says

    May 6, 2014 at 3:40 pm

    I bet it scared the crap out of you when you exploded? Why don’t you just put it in the oven?

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      May 6, 2014 at 8:38 pm

      Yes it was scary! I though I would save time by doing in the microwave…but I learned my lesson and will only do it in the oven from now on!

    hmmm…am i OCD about anything, rather, where should i start?!? jk. but yea, it’s funny sometimes how i don’t even notice i’m OCD about liking things a certain way until someone asks me, “why do you pick that same treadmill/elliptical all the time?” like at the gym.
    and while that elliptical can be boring, it sure as heck is great cross-training and helping us runners stay healthy…good for you! 🙂 and not shabby reading material. 😉

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      Haha yes I think alot of times we do things that we assume are just “normal” until someone else points out that they that we are being a little weird:)

Just over here taking a mid-run break to wring out Just over here taking a mid-run break to wring out my shirt and hair 🥵 Seriously the amount of sweat on this run was unbelievable thanks to a dew point of 75. Have I just blocked out summers like this or is this one worse than usual? Honestly though I’d still take this over the cold!

Are you over the heat yet this year? I think it’s the humidity that’s really getting to me!

#run #runner #runnersofinstagram #summmerrunning
Ignorance is bliss, sometimes. (Until you’re dyi Ignorance is bliss, sometimes. (Until you’re dying 5 minutes into your run wondering when it will finally cool off again). But really, this time of year I feel like there’s no point in checking the weather. It’s either hot or really hot. #summerrunning
Another cloudy day at the beach. At least it isn’t raining and windy today. I felt the 95% humidity on this fartlek run (maybe last night’s wine and bad sleep too) so it was a tough one. But workouts are for building fitness, not proving fitness, right?! How do you move on past a hard workout?

#run #runner #runnersofinstagram #runchat #vacation
Just a few random thoughts (and videos) from Satur Just a few random thoughts (and videos) from Saturday’s race…even though this wasn’t a goal race there are always lessons learned!

First off, my daughter woke up  around 1 am the night before the race. She almost always sleeps through the night now, but out of the 2 races I did this spring she woke up before both of them. It’s like she knows I am going to leave somehow. At least this time she went back to sleep pretty quickly and so did I!

Parking was easy, but it was a long walk to and from my car! (In past years I had parked closer but there was a ton of traffic coming and going)

The start line was so crowded that I couldn’t line up in the appropriate pace area. Many runners had the same challenge so the first few miles were chaotic with some people around me walking and others trying to run faster and weaving. I was just trying not to crash into anyone.

I didn’t bring my own water and wish I did! I needed it due to the weather and the water stops really slowed me down.

My watch never lined up with the mile markers. For some miles it was far ahead and others it was far behind. But overall my watch read 10.09 so it wasn’t too far off overall. 

Hard iced tea is a nice post race option. They also had hard lemonade and Heineken. (A few sips was good enough for me though)

Spring races < Fall races!

What’s the best post run beverage you’ve gotten after a race?
