Meal 2: (12:15 PM - LUNCH)

1 cup steamed broccoli
1/2 cup cinnamon oatmeal


Snack: (3:30)
1 rice cake

Meal 3: (4:00 PM)
Berry-nutty ice cream

1.5 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
1/4 pkg Sugar Free Vanilla pudding mix
1 TB ground flaxseed
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

10 almonds, crushed
1/2 cup Raspberries
1/2 cup Strawberries, sliced
How to Prepare
Mix protein powder, pudding mix, flaxseed, almond milk and water in a bowl until smooth.
Add almonds and berries and stir well (I prefer to stir extra hard to crush the berries into the mixture).
Put in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes until it’s ice cold and somewhat frozen (the longer that you leave it in the freezer, the harder it will get – adjust according to your preference).
Enjoy…and then enjoy some more.



Meal 4: (6:30 PM - DINNER)

“Sizzzlin’ SOUTHWESTERN STEAK STIR-FRY”

4oz . lean turkey
1/4 cup each: red and green pepper, sliced
 1/2 cup onion, sliced

1 cups broccoli

1 tsp. garlic, crushed


Spices: 1/4 tsp each: cumin, sea salt, paprika, chili powder

1/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed, drained

2/3 cup tomatoes, chopped

2 tbsp cup salsa, mild or hot depending upon preference

1 packet sweetener (i.e. Splenda or stevia)
 

How to Prepare

1.Spray large skillet or wok with cooking spray. Add peppers, onions, broccoli, garlic and spices. Sauté on medium heat for approximately 6-8 minutes.

2. Add lean beef and cook for additional 6-8 minutes, or until mixture starts to brown and meat is cooked to your liking. 

3. Gently stir in black beans, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream and sweetener. Cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Portion half of the stir-fry mixture onto a plate (if solo, store the other half for tomorrow/later or share with someone special!). 


If you are extra hungry or are eating this meal post-workout, feel free to serve over brown rice – but note that the below nutritionals do not include rice! For your FYI, a half-cup serving of cooked brown rice would add an additional 110 calories, 2.5g protein, 23g carbs, 2g fiber, 1g fat. Eat up while it’s hot, er sizzzlin!!


Meal 5: (9:00 PM)
5 egg whites with chopped zucchini and onion





Hotel Quickie Workout Breakdown:
12 minutes of Interval Strength Training
You will need to set your Gymboss Interval Timer for 24 rounds and two intervals as you can see it in the picture. The first interval of 10 seconds is your rest interval which gives you enough time to write down your reps and get into position for the next exercise. Your goal is to complete as many reps as you can during the 20 second interval. You can try to beat me at this workout. I kept track of my reps and I posted my score at bottom of this page.I am using a 35 pound Ultimate Sandbag in this workout for an extra kick, but you can adjust the weight according to your own strength. If you are a complete beginner you can also use just your own bodyweight.
You will go through the circuit of the following exercises (in the exact order) twice.
