Sunday=Meal Prep

Sundays are my days to meal-prep for the week. I can cook a large amount of food  in a short amount of time and have three days worth of M2, M3, and M4 -- and sometimes M5.  Let the crock pot be your friend  -- I try to use it as least once or twice a week. I thought I would share some pics that I quickly snapped to give you some ideas.

Brussel Sprouts cut in half -- drizzle olive oil and stir. 

Chicken breast cubed-Here is the recipe:   Yummy! 

Sweet potatoes cut into fries 

top with olive oil, sea salt and pepper--stir

kepp in large plastic bag or container

bake on 425 for 30 minutes

Mondays Cooler: 

M1: Egg Whites, 1/2c Oatmeal

M2: Strawberries w/ cocoa almonds

M3: Flank Steak w/ green beans

M4: Cucumber, bell peppers with hummus 

M5: Salmon with Asparagus

(sorry for the sideways pic-I can't turn it for some reason)  

Meal-prep can make or break me. I am really rushed in the mornings and don't have time to put together my cooler in the a.m. so, doing this on Sunday saves me stress and I don't have to worry about succumbing to 'dirty' foods during the day.  When my weekends are crazy and I only have a short amount of time to prep I do a quick grab of the basics. I focus, 'Okay, I just need a complex carb with a protein at every meal and I need 5-6 small meals each day.' I can do that--even if  I am only able to prep for one or two days! :-) Don't forget the water baby!! 

I hope you had a great weekend- Monday is a new day, the start of a new week. I have some goals that I am aiming to achieve this week, keeping my diet tight is one of them...that is a very important goal. I can workout all day long, but if my diet is 'dirty' I won't see the results I am looking for. 

Consistency is KEY...KEEP GOING!
