Summer Shape Up 2015: Week 4 Workouts and Meal ideas
Hi friends! Can you believe that it’s the last week of Summer Shape Up?! It’s gone by so quickly, but time flies when you’re working hard. 😉 I hope you’re already seeing some noticeable benefits from the past 3 weeks! Our goal for the final week: finish it STRONG with the same intensity that you used when you began the challenge. Also, remember that you can always repeat for an 8-week plan. For Winter Shape Up, we’ll have our free full-length videos to follow, too. 🙂 If you’re just joining in the fun, you can check out the intro post here!
Next month, I’ll be back with full monthly fitness calendars (and per many requests, I’ll include meal ideas in my emails), so if you’d like to receive those, be sure to sign up for my newsletter below:

A very special “thank you” to all of our wonderful 2015 Summer Shape Up sponsors!
bobble, makers of the BPA-free self-filtering water bottle. I tote mine around all the time and love how lightweight it is.
Gluten-free Chex oatmeal, which is perfect for baking, savory recipes and snacks,

and Crunch Live, who kindly shared a 30-day free trial with all of us. Just use the code “SSU30”” to activate it! (It will turn into a regular membership at $9.99/month after the 30 days expire, just as a heads up. They have a great variety of workouts you can do anywhere.)
Here’s what the meal ideas look like for Week 4. As always, feel free to adjust or shuffle them around according your unique needs and preferences.

Zumba followed by a visit to the local farmer’s market. I picked up a bunch of fruit and a reeeeeally good smoothie that had vanilla almond milk, dates, bananas, cinnamon, and oatmeal. May have also had a bite of the husband’s breakfast sandwich when I got home (we live near sausage, egg, and cheese NIRVANA), but it’s all about balance. 😉
This week has been crazy for me because my husband was out of town and some other things. But I still managed a few days of workouts. I wanted to start today off on a good note because its my birthday, so I did a 60 minute barre workout. I have LOVED this shape up. I’m going to start the WSS 2014 on Monday, and I can’t wait. Thanks for all of your hard work with this, Gina!!
Just did a 3 mile walk. Was about to do workout 4 and 1 but I just remembered that I scheduled a six mile walk for later or early in morning. Need to reevaluate.
I did workout #1 & #4 this morning. Just what I needed cause then we went to a pool party and now we are back home relaxing with a glass of wine playing outside
