Meal Prep

Meal Prep:

 School is back in full swing and I couldn't be happier! Teaching is one of the great loves of my life and I am so fortunate everyday to pursue my passion.

 However, there have been some long twelve hour work days the past few weeks, which I am sure any working woman can relate too. Coming home drained of all my energy, the last thing I want to do is cook dinner and prepare my lunch for the following day.

 This Sunday I decided to cook and prepare EVERY meal from breakfast to lunch to dinner for Monday through Friday. Two hours later, my task was complete.

 I only took pictures of the lunches and snacks I prepared because the breakfasts and dinners where all different and not packaged up. 

What I brought to work:

  • Oven baked chicken
  • Ground turkey wrapped in bacon
  • Sauteed zucchini and squash
  • Steamed broccoli
  • Mashed sweet potatoes
  • Hard boiled egg
  • 20 almonds
No salt or butter was added to anything, just enjoying the flavors of nature!


After posting a picture to Instagram I had a friend text me asking if I get sick of eating the same thing everyday, and the honest answer is no! I look forward to my meals because everything I cook, I genuinely enjoy eating. When I look at the beautiful, natural, healthy food I prepare, Easy Mac, frozen meals, and other processed foods I see people eat at lunch look disgusting!

Shopping organically does not have to cost a fortune. I spent $69.30 at the grocery store, that works out to $4.62 a meal! It is worth every penny.

I've gotten such positive feedback from my last post! I cannot express how happy the texts, messages, and Facebook comments made me! What a great community I have surrounding me! I have had a lot of requests to post a clean eating grocery list. There are a ton you can find on Pinterest or in any paleo book you buy. Here are just the basic things I get on my weekly shopping trip. **Keep in mind with meat, poultry and seafood: look for grass-fed, free-range, or wild-caught. Sometimes I have a hard time finding them, so just do your best!  Meat/Poultry/Seafood: Grass-fed ground beef Chicken drumsticks or thighs Salmon Tilapia Bacon  Dozen Eggs Vegetables: Broccoli Cucumber Zucchini Squash Bell Peppers Jalapeno Brussel Sprouts  Spinach  Leafy lettuce Onion Tomato Avocado Fruits : Green apples Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) Lemon Other: Egg White protein powder Olives Olive oil Coconut oil Coffee Yellow m...

 CH 1: 1% analogy- focus small Progress- an ice cube doesn't melt, even when it heats up from 20-31 degrees, that one degree makes a difference, however, the other 11 degrees weren't wasted effort, they were stored progress/potential Plateau of Latent Potential - where most people give up- right on the cusp of success Forget Goals- focus on system instead The goal takes care of itself when the systems are in place Goals met are temporary and at odds with long term progress (yo-yoing)
