3/28/2024 0 Comments Oops i lost my bikini![]() I still however eat tons of protein and steamed veggies. I am no longer on this meal plan and I have definitely added fruits back into my diet. But I knew at the end of this, I’d have the body I’ve always dreamed of. It was tough for both of us to be on such a restricted diet plan and yes I did have cravings. ![]() We wanted to test out a specific meal plan and workout plan and record results. Just in case you haven’t been following this blog for a while, this whole 8 Week Shred thing was an experiment I was doing with my friend who is a personal trainer. ![]() I know some people are all about the whole “don’t look at yourself until the end” type of deal, but for me, NO WAY!!! I wanna see that I look good and I wanna see it NOW! (Ok, kinda childish but hey, who doesn’t like a lil instant gratification?) How exciting is it to lose a lb every week for 8 weeks? It is one of the best feelings ever! I also loved looking at myself in the mirror and admiring changes like a conceited bi-otch. I went to sleep every night waiting to workout. I woke up every morning ready to workout. Results keep me going like a mad woman. I’m not gonna lie, it was hard work but I LOVED every second of it. This meal plan and lifting for about an hour followed by 15-20 min of intense cardio 6 days a week helped me go from 126 lbs and 24% body fat to 118 lbs and 17.5% body fat. ![]() I could sub any of the veggies for other leafy greens. Apple sauce was the closest I ever got to eating fruit. I was allowed to sub the chicken breast for white fishes like cod. I was suppose to carb load on Sundays to fuel up for the rest of the week, so the only difference here was that I did not take my protein and instead had sweet potatoes, black beans, oatmeal, and apple sauce. For dressings, basalmic vinegar or very light vinaigrettes. I also drank TONS of water. *9 oz boneless skinless steamed chicken breast, 2 cups romain lettuce, 1 tomato.ġ.5 scoops vanilla whey protein mixed w/ waterįor condiments I used lite soy sauce and tabasco. *1.5 scoops vanilla whey protein mixed w/ water (I was using Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein Powder in Vanilla) *9 oz boneless skinless steamed chicken breast and 1 cup steamed green beans. *egg white omelet (1/2 cup liquid egg whites) with 1 cup broccoli. It basically says, “Today I am 118 again. (If you are trying to read my chart, that big pink blurb up in the right hand corner was something I wrote 2 literally days ago after I bounced back from my 2-week Feeling-Fat-and-Failing period. ![]() I got my body fat % checked every 2 weeks to make sure I was GAINING MUSCLE and LOSING FAT. I also recorded my weight every morning and any other notes I wanted to give myself like “Great progress Cassey! Keep going!” Hahaha. I wrote down how I felt each day in this huge poster chart thing. I was also working out very hard, lifting weights and running 6 days a week (IN ADDITION TO TEACHING PILATES A MILLION TIMES A WEEK) so that’s why my intake was high. I was so full the first day I went on it because I had never eaten so much protein in my life even though the meal plan measured to less than 1900 cals. In short, my meal plan given to me by my trainer friend consisted of lots of protein and 6 small meals a day (200-350 cals each) to keep my metabolism up. I’m going to share with you a snapshot of my meal plan that you can tweak to your needs. Many of you have been asking me about my diet plan and how I got to my bikini body in a short 8 weeks. ![]()
