Gluten Free Weekly Menu June 20 2016

Hey, Gluten Free friends! How was your weekend? Enjoy celebrating Father’s Day with family? We had a blast just being together, going on bike rides, watching movies, and playing games.

This week we have work chaos, church, and kiddos enjoying summer. We are also puppy sitting a 15 month old 110 lbs Great Pyrenees dog. To say she is huge is an understatement. She is taller than the 4 year olds and looks the 7 year old in the face. HUGE! She is however a gentle giant and fabulous with the kids.

This is the final week of our 12 week challenge and we have learned a lot.

Here are some of the lessons we have learned:

Don’t snack after 9pm especially on junk.
Make sure your plate is mostly protein and then a balance of vegetables and a good starch.
Work out as much as you can. The 7 days a week that were part of the Labrada Lean Body Challenge was not possible with work and 3 kids. But 4/5 days a week was doable if I got up early or took a quick run here or there.
Snack and snack often. Have good snacks on hand so you can have good options to keep you satisfied between meals.
Meal prep and you will save time and money.
Some weeks are better than others, it is ok, just keep at it.
Accountability is key, have someone asking about your progress, it will motivate you.

The scale has not changed much but my body shape has, so I will take that as a win
