6 Pack 6 Week 5 – Neck and Neck!

This week we have a tie at the top, with Lisa and Chrissy both scoring max points –  Well Done Ladies!

Let me preface what I am going to say with this – I am EXTREMELY impressed with those who are actively participating in 6 Pack 6. As I wrote up the weekly top ten, it was not surprising that the superstars on this list are also the people making the best progress toward their goals. Sort of a no brainer, huh?

I was also very impressed with a couple people in particular who made huge strides in their scores from last week to this week. Great job, and keep it up!

Now for a little push toward even better progress and higher achievements…

This week your assignment was to turn in your meal plan for the week along with your 6 Pack 6 score sheet. I am going to dish out a little tough love – with very few exceptions, the meal plans I got back were shall we say – “substandard”.

Here’s what #1 of your weekly tasks is, and I quote from the rules:

“Planning is crucial to your success. Going into the week without knowing what you are going to eat is like going on a hike in the Rockies without a map. Sit down before you go grocery shopping, plan out your meals for the week, make a shopping list, and stick to the list. Winging it isn’t good enough, so plan your successful week ahead of time.”

When I read this, it occurred to me I may not have been perfectly clear what I am looking for in order for you to achieve your 5 points for the week, so please allow me to clarify the main points:

  • Before each Monday, write down the contents of every meal and every snack you intend to eat for the next 7 days.
  • Write down which meals are going to be cooked in bulk, and which will be made “at the time”.
  • Make your shopping list and make sure you have the food in the house you need for the week.

If you are not doing these steps, you haven’t earned the points – it makes a huge difference to do it this way, I promise!

Another point, not totally unrelated:

Your food log (Daily Task #5) should actually reflect your meal plan. So if you planned an omelet for breakfast Tuesday, and you ate a bacon and cheese bagel, are you doing your plan? Note that this is way different than planning to eat almonds for snack and having walnuts instead. I think you get the picture.

Don’t cheat the plan – the only one you are cheating is yourself!

Ok, without further adieu, here is the top ten list for the week!
