Meal Planning and Prep Week of 10/12-10/18

I’m here to share another week of meal planning and prep…although I’m not really “here”- as this post is going up I will be getting ready to run the Baltimore half! But hopefully you will get to take a look if you need any ideas for your own meal planning this week!
weekly meal planning and prep

 

Sunday: Flat iron steak (marinated like this), with sweet potatoes and broccoli

Monday: Salmon, baked potatoes, asparagus

Tuesday: Taco salad

Wednesday: Turkey burgers, sweet potato fries, green beans

Thursday: Chicken coated in egg/almond flour and fried in coconut oil, with roasted red potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots

Friday: Turkey meatballs, pasta for Rob, sweet potato for me, and salad

Saturday: Out! We have a gift certificate to Flemings that we decided to use, hopefully to celebrate a good race day:)

Breakfasts: eggs with bacon, plantains, peppers, onions, tomatoes  and smoothies

Lunches: Salads with steak, chicken, peppers, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes

Snacks: Honey pumpkin pie muffins, paleo chocolate chunk cookies, fruit

meal prep 10.12.14My prep included:

-washing and storing berries

-baking cookies

-making meatballs (separated for 2 weeks worth to freeze)

-washed and stored romaine for taco salad

-baked muffins

-chopped veggies for salads and eggs

-Rob grilled chicken

-marinated steak

-cut up sweet potatoes and coated with olive oil and rosemary (we used these the same night I prepped them)

-cooked some bacon to use with eggs

I have to say that I think the steak was my favorite meal of the week, even though it can be a bit of a process to cook (it’s so hard to tell when they are done, especially when they are uneven!) and it always makes a mess in the kitchen. But well worth it in my opinion!

I’ll also be linking up with Mommy Run Fast and Jill Conyers on Sunday for their meal planning link-up!

What was your favorite meal last week?

What kind of meal planning/prep are you doing this weekend?

    Mmm, steak is always a treat for us, too. Hope you had an awesome half this morning!

      Thank you! I think I would eat steak all the time if it weren’t the price:)

Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 mile MP/1 mile easy. I took a few hours of PTO in the morning to do this on the trail because I knew wouldn’t be able to do it this weekend. This was my first time on the trail since my marathon last November. It was nice to be back there and the perfect place to do this kind of long run. It was the kind of run where you start thinking “ok cool I just did a tough MP workout” but then you remember you actually need to run 26 miles in a row at that pace. Luckily there’s still 9 more weeks of training…although that doesn’t really sound like that much!
41 miles for the week and got in 2 strength sessions. Taking it easy this weekend other than chasing the kids around for all their activities! #run #marathontraining #longrun
It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It is a little frustrating to have to plan more time for an easy run. But it’s definitely worth it to recover quicker and feel better on workout days! #run #marathongtraining #easyrun
You know marathon training is starting to get real You know marathon training is starting to get real when you start losing track of what training week it is. I had to check my calendar but this was week 6, so 10 weeks to go! 

I ran the Charles Street 12 last weekend so this week was all about easy miles and recovering from the race. That went well until I went and ran all the hills yesterday followed by walking around a maze and fun park for 5 hours. I got in some strength and mobility this morning and now I’m back to focusing on recovery!

If you’re training for a race how many weeks do you have left?

15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 9 15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 91% humidity 🫠 Pretty sure that was harder than my race last weekend, but got it done. Now off to my second workout of the day- taking the kids to an outdoor fun park. RIP to my legs. 
What are you up to this weekend?
