Week 6 Menu and Workout

This week is hectic for me, with a couple of late classes after work. I requested the trainer make my workouts something I can do from home since I'll probably lose motivation to want to go out. She was also nice enough to make my dinner meal easy, just nuke and go... Anyway here is this week's menu and fitness plan.
