Hey everyone, Happy New Year, 2012! Anyone have any great resolutions for this year?

Let’s make it a great one!

I want to clean and jerk my body weight by June. That’s my goal for the new year. What about you??

angela.. what do you plan to change/do to reach your goal??

well i need to lose 6lb.. i am not really saying its a resolution.. i know i will do it and i will make it happen..
 
i know my comment might not make sense but i dont consider it a resolution… usually after the holidays i gain a few lbs and i know after the hoidays its time to cut back and i will make it happen.. foe some reason making this a resolution gives it a bad vide as if i struggle with it..
 
i just have to cut our cheese wine crackers, desserts for then next month or so then go back to maintaining

Happy New Year Laura! I just need to keep training and improving my technique, the strength will come with time. 
How is your resolution coming along? I know you have a lot of tools available but if you need any help or support let me know! :) 
I don’t eat gluten or dairy so I have some recipes w/o chocolate and cheese ;)

 
Thanks… my resolution is going great! not really a resolution though lol… just trying to get back on track after the holidays and cut down a bit.. this could happen anytime in the year,,
 
why are you gluten free?? do you have an intolerance??
i love love to some of your recipes though!! what is a typical mela plan for you in a day?
 
 

lol I guess mine isn’t a resolution either..sounds like we both just want to be more awesome. if that is possible. 
a typical meal plan… well here is what I have had so far today…
6:00 am - 1 egg, 2 egg whites, 1/4 avocado, 1/2 cup black beans 
               coffee with 1/4 cup almond milk & 1 tbsp raw honey
9:30 am - 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (arbonne), 1 scoop fiber, 1 tsp cinnamon (I lifted this AM, otherwise I normally eat 10-14 almonds and 1/2 cup berries)
12:00 pm - 6 oz rosemary chicken, 1 cup baked citrus honey carrots and parsnips, 1/2 cup lentils and quinoa
3:00 pm -  10 almonds, 1 cup raw broccoli 
and tonight at 6:00 pm I will have - 6 ounce salmon w/ mustard sauce (dijon, olive oil, dill, & basil), walnut lemon brussels sprouts, and sauteed mushrooms with caramelized shallots.
I can send you a message with any recipes you’re interested in trying out! My favorite breakfast by the way… Organic quinoa made with coconut milk, honey, raisins, almonds, pecans, cinnamon, vanilla extract, dash of coconut oil and flakes.
and yes… intolerance :/

WOW!!! That is some meal plan…
You seem like you have a killer metabolism because that is quite a meal…
 
It is so balanced filled with whole food, and healthy macros!
Were did you come up with this amazing plan?
 
I feel like i eat a lot less then you, i wonder if my metabolism is shot
 
This is my daily meal plan
 
Meal 1: protein pancake make with ½ cup oatmeal. ¾ cup egg whites, ¾ cup blueberries, 1 tsp fiber, and tons of cinnamon
Meal 2: 3 oz grilled chicken and ½ cup broccoli slaw, 2 tbsp homemade tomato sauce
Meal 3: 1 scoop protein powder 1 tbsp almond butter and ½ tsp flax see
Meal 4: 3 oz roasted parsnips OMG MY FAVE!! 1 cup broccoli and sometime 3oz tuna or grilled chicken
Meal 5: 5 oz fish or grilled chicken, 1 cup veggies and LOTS of kale
Meal 6: 1 scoop chocolate protein powder and 1 tbsp pb2… i cut this out if i am trying to lose weight (due to holidays and over bored weekend cheats)
 
I feel like if i add anything more i gain weight… i wonder if my metabolism is shot??
 
or maybe we just have differet goals.. i liek to be about 13-14% body fat
 
I would love to get your recipes!!
 
maybe its not enough??? i have 1 to 2 cheat meals ont he weekend.. wine, cheese, dessert ect.. i like to go out to dinner adn enjoy myself.. i not have an all out binge but live life alittle lol

lol I am no expert but I think it may have to do with me being about 4 inches taller, 18-20% fat, and 45lbs heavier than you? Doesn’t that mean I get to eat more? Who is to say…lol 
Well, I decided a while back to try my absolute best to eat whole foods. I do a lot of meal prep on the weekends. I get a lot of recipes from Dr. Weil’s website. I will definitely send you some this evening when I get home from work!
Your meal plan looks solid! by the way, we took over this forum.. apparently no one else has a resolution.

oh! also parsnips.. LOVE.

 
Ok maybe i should update my weight… i am like 6lb heavier!! ewwwwwwwww i think i went over board this summer and then the holidays but i enjoyed every moment!!
 
I am all about whole foods… I try not to eat processed foods at all… (Only on the weekends for a treat)
 
My new obsession is kale chips (i just use evoo Pam spray during the week and evoo on the weekends) i love love love them and i can’t forget my amazing roasted parsnips… i will tell you a little tip..
 
Roast them, let them cool and add stevia or what ever sweetener you like and cinnamon… omg i cant even explain how good it its.. It’s like a dessert…
 
I love cooking and creating healthy recipes, its kind of a hobby… check out the womans forum on muscledog and click recipes… i posted a whole bunch!! You will love them
