Dear Friends,
My 7th day on FAVAO was a huge success! Check out my notes!
8am
Got 7.5 hours of sleep! It’s a Monday, cold, and rainy! I love the rain! I popped out of bed and got ready for work. Packed my meals and headed to my office.
9am
Made my “Metabolic Booster Meal”- Banana Ice Cream
My Note: Last Banana Ice Cream- Sad, but I am excited to try the blueberry graham ice cream next week
11am
Made my “Breakfast”- Egg Burrito
My Note: Last Egg Burrito. Happy! I am a little tired of eating this
1:30pm
Ate my “Power Snack”- Fruit and String Cheese
My Note: I really enjoy this snack, but I am looking forward to my yogurt parfait next week.
4pm
Lunch Time- Mexican Rice Bowl
My Note: This is still delicious, but the chicken tastes more “chickeny” each day. I am weird about meat.
6:00pm
Energy Snack”- Apple Crunch Chicken Salad
My Note: Sad I won’t be eating this next week. I LOVE this snack! It’s my FAVORITE!
7pm
My NOTE: GYM TIME!
Did my Military Press- with dumbbells (Pg. 171 gives you directions), Lateral Raise- with dumbbells (Pg. 171 gives you directions), Plank Hold (Pg. 161 gives you directions), Bicycle Abs (Pg. 158 gives you directions),Lying Superman (Pg. 158 gives you directions), - Those went really well and I felt great! I tried my best on my Side Plank Down & Ups (Pg. 171 gives you directions), but I don’t do them very well. I didn’t get my cardio done, but overall I felt like it was a GREAT workout!
9:00pm
Last meal of the day- Finally- “Dinner” BBQ Chicken and Sweet Potato Pie
My Note: Looking forward to trying something different tomorrow!
10:30pm
My Note: Drank my detox tea, relaxed, and filled out my daily checklist for Day 7 on Pg. 38 in my FAVAO Program Book.
Overall I thought my last day went really well!
I also got things prepped and ready for week 2!
Here is my shopping list for week 2 for 2 people:
1 large bag frozen, no sugar added, Blueberries
4 Apples
7 cups Broccoli
32oz Black Beans
1 box bran flakes
56 oz cottage cheese
56 oz non-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 6oz. raspberries
2 12oz blackberries
3 box Quaker quick barley (5 cups
1 box Quick Hot Wheat cereal (cream of wheat, or generic brand)
28 oz. chicken cooked (We will be needing an additional 56 oz. since we are substituting for the fish for Dinner)
Party size box wheat thins or 2 regular size boxes
14 Laughing cow LIGHT cheese wedges (I bought LIGHT Swiss and LIGHT Garlic Herb)
Walden Farms BBQ Sauce ( I bought 2 to have a little extra on hand)
4 bags frozen shelled edamame beans
I bought Lg. Tub of Whole Wheat Organic Couscous( to have some leftover)Note: I had to purchase this at Safeway Grocery and cost $9.
I had leftover oats from last week
NOTE: Since I am going through chicken like crazy I am going to buy a few frozen bags of chicken breasts from Costco and keep them in my freezer to use.
Changes we made:
We don’t eat fish- We will be eating 4oz. of chicken instead of 5oz of white fish
Also, we won’t be eating the veggies in the dinner (Pg. 139 in your FAVAO program book says you can skip them if you don’t like them)
We are substituting ½ cup cottage cheese for the eggs in the breakfast (Pg. 138 in your FAVAO program book gives you a list of substitutions)
Looking forward to what week 2 wil bring!
All My Best,
Alexa Unkefer Raynes
