In order to succeed, you must plan! We are now on week 2 of 11 of our 75-day Challenge. Hope you are feeling strong and confident! Pray each morning for the Lord to go before you every day and to help you through any challenge you may face. He is your strength. He wants you to succeed!
"It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." Deuteronomy 31:8
This week is a bit different as the Hubby is out of town for the week, so I will be doing a couple of experimental dinners. I will add the recipes to my blog if they turn out successful with me and the girls. Here is my current plan, and of course… it may fluctuate, but you can see my favorite backup meal plans further down.
Drinks to help keep me full
The first week, my stomach isn’t used to skipping meals yet. So, I have to train myself to do this again. I am one of those people who get pretty cranky when I am hungry (HANGRY, Yes!). So, these are things that I do to slowly get my body used to skip meals.
- Chug Water- I do think alot, especially to get my gallon in early.
- Drink Coffee with MCT Oil (I also had some Vital Proteins Collagen, Liquid stevia, and some almond milk- use a milk frother to mix).
- Electrolyte powder in one of my cups of water

Back up Dinner Plans
This is HUGE! Always have backup plans.
If you are following my Facebook, Group. You can tell that I didn’t really follow my meal plan to a T last week (week 1/11). I tend to always plan, but I also always have backup plans for when my original plans don’t go to plan. I forgot to buy extra squash and zucchini so I couldn’t make my Cajun Chicken, Sausage, and Rice recipe last week. But it was OK! I just moved my Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie plan up, and the family loved it! Some of my favorite backup plans are below.
My Favorite Backup Menu Ideas
- Hot Dogs/Link Sausage on Salad or on low carb bun
- Low Carb Grilled Cheese Sandwiches using Low Carb Bread
- Turkey/Ham Cheese Roll ups Alone or using Low Carb Tortillas -With Chipotle Mayo or Spicy Mustard
- Snack Dinner (always Easy – Use what you got)
- Tyson Blackened Chicken (from freezer section) with Roasted Broccoli – This chicken has a bit of spice- But my girls even like it dipped in ranch.
- Out to Dinner- Hamburger w/no bun, Grilled Chicken and Veggies, Cobb Salad, Steak and Loaded Broccoli, etc.. Stay away from Carbs.

FASTING
Fasting is a great way for your body to get a good reset. We are trained in society to eat 3 meals a day, but our body doesn’t actually need it. You will be amazed at how great you feel by fasting through some of your meals.
I will plan to fast 24 Hours EVERY Monday. Starting at 5:30 pm Sunday through Monday at 5:30 pm (So that I can still eat dinner with my family)
I will also plan to fast through Breakfast and lunch most days Tuesday-Friday. This will allow me to not worry too much about carb counting for dinner. I will have some Chicken Broth when I need a little something but don’t want to eat anything.
