It's the beginning of the week...Monday. :( We all dread Monday's because our weekend was not long enough. To get through the week, I prep meals on Sunday so I don't have to panic on Monday, what's for dinner for the week.
What does your meal plan look like? Do you have one? It is easy to do. Here is the sheet I use.
You will notice the Wake Up on the first row. That is a drink I make up. It is 8 oz of water, some fresh minced ginger and a lemon slice squeezed. I mix with a spoon and drink up. Becareful when doing the Ginger. If you add to much, it will be strong and hard to get down (atleast for me). I make 2 qts worth on Sunday so I have it for the week.
Filling out the spreadsheet and having a plan will help you stay on track and get you to your goal. Track your Protein, Carbs and Fat daily. I use myfitnesspal, which makes everything easy.
For the meals, especially dinner, I will theme them. Italian, Chinese, Greek, American, Breakfast etc... This gives me some room that if I did not buy ground beef but have chicken cutlets, I can change up the dinner. On Sunday, I usually prep back up dinners by using the Wildtree Freezer Meal Workshops. I also prep Italian Sauce, stews and soup(s), depending what I have planned for the week.
I will be honest, it was hard getting started. Once you get in the routine, its easy. We do have a cheat night out. It does float when we are busy with sports. Usually we do it Friday. Now that baseball and soccer has started, it could be a Monday or Thursday. Don't Panic. You can change meals if you need or want to. Prepping and having everything ready, make meal time easier and less money spent going out. If you need help getting started, email me at dawn@eatinghealthy.biz
