    The Kitcheneer's Weekly Meal Plan {Week 4}

    The Kitcheneer’s Weekly Meal Plan {Week 4}

     Weekly-meal-plan-week-4

    I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend! I also hope you stayed warm because it is FREEZING out there!

     We had a great Valentine’s Day! Jake got up super early and brought back my favorite Starbuck’s coffee (Skinny Vanilla Latte), flowers, and a balloon! And asked if I would be his Valentine! I heart him.

    Then we left for a Sweetheart workout at our box. It was fun! All the workouts were couples oriented. And had to finish them together! We did 150 wall balls ( 75 each) then as many burpees as you could in 14 minutes. Unfortunately we did the wall balls too fast and had to do lots of burpees in the remaining time! And this was only half the workout. We then did 50 weighted sit ups, 40 KBS, 30 box jumps, 20 push presses, 10 pushups. We were exhausted but still smiling! Even though during I have a hatred for burpees with the passion of a thousand suns, but afterwards I feel pretty good about them. It’s a love/hate thing.

     

    The rest of the day was spent relaxing by the fire and Jake cooked a romantic dinner for us. Eggplant Parmesan and salad! It was delicious. My husband’s a good chef!

    Sunday was also spent resting and making some recipes to photograph. Then we stayed up too late watching SNL’s 40th anniversary special. And I was a complete fan girl when Paul McCartney performed. I am a Beatles freak and am only missing a few vinyls from my collection. I need the first one! And wasn’t the Jeopardy skit hilarious??? I was crying from laughing so hard! Did you watch SNL this past weekend?

      A couples workout! What a neat idea! My fiance and I are both runners, but we can't run together, because one of us has to stay home with our young son. Great meal plan! I plan our dinners, but not breakfasts and lunches. I should start doing that!

      Couples oriented workouts sound fun! I hate exercising but if I could take my husband with me it could be doable. 😉 And great meal plan!

      We did watch most of the SNL special, I fell asleep though. I did get to see that Jeopardy skit, it was awesome! My fav of all time though is Debbie Downer. The best!
