The blog is back! I have missed blog life. I love writing....I always have and so I love being able to share a little slice of my life in this unique way.
So every Wednesday will be Cookin' Wednesday! I have recently embarked on a journey of healthier living. Now look, I love food. Like LOVE food. Basically all my social activities revolve around food. I am Italian---it's in my blood. But I had realized I had bad habits and made lots of excuses. Now I am not doing perfect---for example today I had chick fil a for lunch...but about 80% of the time I am getting it right. I am also moving more. Working out for 30 min a day is starting to become part of the routine. I don't like it but I love how I feel afterwards! So I have been asked a few times what my meal plan is looking like these days. I will say I believe the secret to the success is PLANNING. Do your prep work one day of the week to get your ready for the whole week so throwing lunches and dinners together is a breeze! For me that is usually Sunday or Monday. So here is what a day in the life looks like:
Breakfast: 2 eggs, sometimes on an english muffin or a Shakeology shake (my new fave protein shake!)
AM Snack: A low fat string cheese stick and some fruit, and maybe some almonds
Lunch: Salad with chicken (pre-prepped), cranberries, almonds, goat cheese(2 tablespoons), sun dried tomatoes. Dressing: pesto, low fat greek yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Eyeball and make to taste. For a salad, you can really add whatever veggies you love
PM Snack: Luna Bar---this is like having a treat!
Dinner: Chicken or Salmon, Green Veggie of choice, and 1/2 a sweet potato. We mix it up with taco tuesday, and meatless monday. I try to keep about 5-6 recipes in rotation each month. That way we don't get bored but I don't have to over think what I am cooking each night.
How do you meal plan? What are your healthy faves?
