Runner’s Weight Loss Challenge: Week 1 Shopping List

by

RFWL_ShoppingList_imagePlease find a list of the food items you will see in Week 1 of the 14-Day Runner's Weight Loss Challenge. You will notice that I did not include the quantities for the items, as we assume everyone will be making different serving sizes, depending on how many people you are cooking for. The list is merely a guide to help you stock your pantry and give you a heads up as to what you will need to look for in the grocery store. Click here for the complete meal plan and corresponding recipes.

Some of the items are perishable which means people will be purchasing within days of making the recipe. Others are spices, seasonings, oils, condiments, etc. you may already have, or can be purchased and kept in your pantry as needed. Either way, I hope this list provides you with a shopping guide as you prepare for the challenge.

I will be providing a shopping list for Week 2 as we get closer to that week. Good luck with your shopping!

(Don’t freak out by the large list of items! Many of the items on the list are every day staples. Many of you will already have certain items like salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, olive oil, etc. on hand. I just wanted to be thorough and make sure we didn’t leave anything out.)

Runner’s Weight Loss Challenge: Week 1 Meal Plan

by

The Runner's Weight Loss Challenge is just days away and I’m super excited to have you all joining me. I’ve mentioned it before, but I will be here for you through the entire 14 days (June 9 – June 22). Please do not hesitate to post questions or comments on the Runner's Weight Loss Challenge event page or my main Facebook page. Your questions and comments will help everyone along the way.

During week 1 of the Runner's Weight Loss Challenge, we will slowly eliminate certain foods from our diet including artificial sweeteners, highly processed foods, wheat, sugar, red meat, dairy and alcohol. The second week of the program will focus on a 100% clean diet, free from all of the items eliminated during week 1.

As we prepare for week 1, I want to provide you with every recipe for the first 7 days. Below please find the meal plan and links to all accompanying recipes. Click here for a shopping list of all the items you’ll find in the meal plan. I hope this helps with your planning and shopping.

I know that most, if not all, of us are extremely busy. Remember that the plan can be made flexible. If you don’t enjoy a certain food or meal, don’t eat it just because it’s on the plan. Pick another meal that you’ll enjoy—just make sure that you’re not adding back one of the eliminated foods. For example, if you don’t like cranberry and quinoa salad, you can have the brown rice pasta salad again.

Also, if you know you are going to have a busy day and there is no way you will be able to make dinner, make a double helping of lunch and have it again for dinner or make a double helping of dinner from the night before and have it again. I love the three bean salad—it’s one of my favorite recipes on the program—so I’ll make extra and eat it two days in a row for lunch or I’ll replace one of the dinners with it. (Make it once – eat it twice is my motto).

The program needs to be something that works for you. The flexibility allowed in the program should make this an easy program to follow. Not to mention the recipes are incredible! :) But remember, the best results are achieved when the plan is followed exactly.

Are you a runner struggling to lose weight? Weight loss is the most common reason people run; but often times, running isn’t enough to reach your weight loss goals. The Runner’s Weight Loss Challenge is a quick, simple way to shed those unwanted pounds.

If you are a runner who wants to lose weight, join me for the online Runner’s Weight Loss Challenge. The challenge is 14 days (June 9 – 22) and will be conducted entirely online through a Facebook event. I will personally guide you step-by-step through the 14-day program including full meal plans (and recipes) and training plans for each day. I will be available to answer questions and provide you with encouragement and motivation to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

The diet (consisting of recipes made with wholesome, nutritious, clean foods) on the Runner’s Weight Loss Challenge is proven! Thousands of women (runners and non-runners) have had tremendous success and felt amazing during and after the 14-day program. In fact, most lost an average of 6 to 14 pounds in the 14 days!

  • Day 7: “I’m down 5 pounds. But moreover, I am shocked at the changes in my body and skin. I feel great!” – Melissa C
