Download Core De Force Week #3 Meal Plan and Grocery List (Excel)
So, today starts Core De Force Week #3, and yet another meal plan! Just like my Week #2 Core De Force Meal Plan, I did re-use a lot of my meals from Week #1 and Week #2 (Did you miss Week #1? Click here to see my meal plan and grocery list from the first week of Core De Force!) but again, added in some new things.
Before I go into the recipes & menu, a quick recap – this week I did have two MAJOR temptations. first was my husband Nick’s birthday! I ended up making him a cake with chocolate frosting out of the FIXATE cookbook, which turned out great, and we were even succesfull in limiting ourselves to 1 slice (the serving size).
The second temptation was that I was invited to guest speak at a Team Retreat on Cape Cod and went to dinner afterwards at the Boston Beer Company. That was tough. The place was filled with burgers, fries, and buffalo tenders, and delicious drinks; but I held strong and had a grilled chicken salad. The cool thing is that after following these meal plans for 14 days, I have some consistency under my belt that makes it easier to say “NO” to food.
Also, for Week #3, the Core De Force workout adds another Blue container (healthy fats, things like hummus and almonds), to keep the energy up.
So, here it is! My Core De Force Plan “A” Week #3 Meal Planner!
I am re-using a few crockpot recipes and clean eating recipes from the past to make this week easy and setup for success again.
Core De Force Week #3 Grocery List
Here is the grocery list (sorted by grocery store department!) that goes along with the above meal plan. I’ve found that over time I end up with some leftovers and condiments / oils / etc. I only need to buy intermittently. So for a family of four without doing any crazy coupon clipping this ran me about $150.
