Turns out the person who runs this boot camp feels nutrition is just as crucial. And I truly believe this also. What's the point of rolling out of bed at 4:30 am if you aren't fully committed? I figured we'd be told to increase veggies, get rid of high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils and most things processed. That would be easy--because that's how I already it. But no.
I just got a detox plan in my in-box. No more bacon, chocolate or even coffee with cream and sugar. Hello meals consisting of protein powder and fruit. Pretty much.
Thankfully dinners are a bit more user friendly and Fridays include a free hour were I can eat whatever I want. I am not going to waste this hour!
My boot camp starts Tuesday so Monday, Memorial Day, will be my 'last supper'. And on a very positive note, Copper River season has begun so bring on the fresh wild fish :)
Monday: BBQ Chicken breast, grilled (chicken breast marinated in a local BBQ sauce) with multi-grain rolls and spinach salad
Tuesday: Copper River Salmon wrapped in cedar paper along with mix of veggies (peppers, mushrooms, summer squash) wrapped in cedar paper and grilled, with a sweet potato
Wednesday: Sauteed Mahi-mahi, pineapples and bok choy with brown rice
Thursday: Bison burger (slider size) with mammoth cheddar on multi-grain roll and spinach salad with cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes
Friday: Rigatonni with Butternut Squash and Kale (this is a fall dish but it is my very favorite dish--and it's super creamy and fattening ☻)
Hmmm....looking at the menu, it doesn't look that bad. Maybe this will be tasty after all?!

****Please be sure to take a moment and pray for our fallen soldiers this Memorial Day. They paid the ultimate sacrifice and remind us freedom is anything but free.****

Oh, congratulations on the Boot Camp Miss VBMW4, good for you. And thank you to Krista for the smoothie recipes, yum!

I wish my boot camp class came with menu help, not that you need any at all, Lisa.
I can't wait to hear about all your progress, though truthfully you look really great in your photos.
Hey! So awesome about the Boot Camp! Can't wait to hear about your progress and results. I know you will be pleased. Once you get rid of the high fructose sludge you will feel better and will become such a label snob cause it is in everything. LOL. Your menu plan looks amazing... I adore how you cook! Bison burgers... I forgot about them. BTW, I am sorry about Mr. Linky this week. He has been behaving badly and I lost all my links. Hopefully, he'll be on the mend soon. Otherwise, please join in again next week, leaving your link in the comments. I love having you - thanks for inspiring me! Cheers - Jenna
PS Thanks to Krista for the smoothie recipes... always looking for new ones. :-D
I am so proud of you to go through boot camp... the hardest part for me is the diet, it is hard being restricted from certain things... You will do a great job!
