Like most journey's, January, the beginning has proven to be a bit of a struggle for me. However through this struggle I've managed to come out with some positive results.
I've finally mastered the art of meal prepping, we'll sort of. I'm the type of person that likes a fresh so to speak meal; I don't really care for leftovers. Don't ask me why cause my rationale is not rational at all. However I've come to terms with cooking for the day but making enough for the next day. So see I'm sort of doing it & that Lil change kept me from eating/making bad choices. For instance when I get hungry or the hubby is like let's go out for dinner , all I have to do is reach into the fridge and grab my pre - prepped meal.
Another win I'm having this month is planning out what I want to eat and make for the week. I decided to keep it easy and just eat the same meals Saturday through Friday. I break my meals down into 6 small meals. Here's a breakdown of what my meals look like this week.
Breakfast
Organic Oatmeal
1 cup of egg whites
Mid morning snack
1 scoop of whey protein isolate
A piece of fruit (Love my Granny Smith apples)
Lunch
5oz can of tuna
Light mayo
Dill relish
Salt and pepper to taste
3 slices of Wasa 7 grain crackers (crisp & light version)
Slice of tomato (I cut into 3 and make an open face sandwich)
Afternoon snack
1 scoop of whey protein isolate
A piece of fruit
Dinner
5oz chicken breast
1/2 cup of brown rice
1 cup of veggies

This just depends on how I'm feeling but here are a few of my faves
