January Healthy Eating and Workout Plan

This post might come to a surprise after my New Year’s Resolutions post, but like I said, health is always a priority for me. And like most people, these past few months have consisted of sugar and processed foods – and my body feels terrible.

I wanted to use January as a month to get back on track to putting my body as a priority.

For those of you in the same boat, I wanted to share my plan for a healthier January. I will also be sharing Workout Wednesdays throughout the month with easy to follow workouts.

I will be doing a combination of my own workouts and FabFitFun TV. I have been a subscriber to FabFitFun for almost two years, and they have recently released their own workout series. I have not used it yet, so I wanted to give it a shot this month!

Here is what I plan on doing all month long:

Eating

To preface this, I am not a nutritionist. I am just someone who has fought weight gain her whole life, and this is what works for me.

When I am dieting, or reviving from a long period of bad eating, I try to keep simple rules. I also do a lot of repetitive meals to keep myself on track.

For breakfast, I will be eating multigrain fresh bread, toasted, with smashed avocado and smoked salmon. To add some variation, I will sometimes be substituting the salmon with a fried egg.

I like to have a fat and carb heavy breakfast to get me started on my day.

As for my snack before lunch, I will be eating some greek yogurt to get my dairy count in for the day.

When it comes to lunch, I like to have a huge salad. I heavily rely on the dressing as my fat source for my salad, and I always make sure I have a protein. Lunch is when I eat the most, so I can continue through my day without feeling hungry.

I get really busy after lunch, so I normally don’t have time for a snack before dinner. This is another reason I eat a huge salad for lunch.

For dinner, I stick with fish and veggies. I eat shrimp, salmon and tilapia with my favorite vegetables – mushrooms or Brussel sprouts. Dinner is my leanest meal of the day because it is right before bed.

If I am still hungry after dinner, my late night snack is a square of dark chocolate or a glass of wine.

As for beverages, I will be drinking coffee with cashew milk and stevia and green tea for my caffeine. I am also going to be drinking 64 ounces of water every day.

Exercise

In January, I will attempt to workout 5 days a week.

I have been reading a lot about how dance workouts are not just great for cardio, but for mental health. Therefore, I am going to test it out this month with FabFitFun TV.

I also want to get back to yoga for my mental health. If I can kill two birds with one stone, then why not?

Monday: 20-25 minute dance cardio workout, 15-20 minute core and booty workout

Tuesday: 30-minute yoga, 15-minute leg workout

Wednesday: 20-25 minute dance cardio workout, 15-20 minute core and booty workout

Thursday: 30-minute yoga, 15-minute upper body workout

Friday: 20-25 minute dance cardio workout, 15-20 minute core and booty workout

Also in January, I will be working out with my dogs. My oldest pup, Schmidt, has been hurt for the past few months and has gained some weight.

I will also be running them for 15-30 minutes every day.

This is my plan, and I will share the results on my Instagram and at the end of the month! Are you detoxing from the holidays?
