Radio Fit

Three weeks ago all of the Lightning 100 employees (minus about 3) enrolled in a 10 week bootcamp through Marathon Fitness, a fitness facility directly below our studio (in fact, most of the afternoon as we hear are grunts and groans from guys trying to lift weights). Each of us weighed in and determined our goal for the 10 weeks. Based upon our age, weight, gender, body fat, and goals we were each issued a meal plan. You can learn more about everyone's response to this experience on our blog Radio Fit. I discovered a very significant problem with my diet: I don't eat! I tried doing the bootcamp and eat more, but even then I wasn't eating enough. My over exherting my body through bootcamp three times weekly plus Team Green Yoga on Tuesdays and our outdoor adventures over the weekends I was starting to feel weak, negative, and tired. If you're interested in designing your own meal plan, here is an example of a meal for those of you who are active, want to mantain your weight but gain strenght:

7am
4 Egg Whites (I still only eat maybe one or two)
1 Yolk
1/2 cup oatmeal

10am
Meal replacement or yogurt

1pm
3 oz fish or chicken
Complex carbohydrate (rice, potato, pasta)

3pm
1 tbsp peanut butter

4pm
6 oz chicken
Veggie serving

7pm
6 oz chicken
Veggie serving

1/2 gallon of water (Really, I still only drink a couple glasses)

They are very small portions but they keep you full for the duration between meals.
