Pack It

Chances are you are busy, very busy. Who isn’t these days? Between jobs, side projects, workouts, and kids, it’s insane. I hear all the time people say “I don’t have time to eat healthy”. My thought? Yes you do, you just need to manage that time some more.

Every day when I get home from work, I make my smoothie for that night and for the next morning. In addition I pack all my snacks and meals for the next day. The reason I do this is because if I wait till night time, I’m probably not going to feel like it. And if I wait till the next morning, it will be one of those mornings when I hit the snooze too many times and end up not having time.

Prepping your food is the absolute key to eating healthy, if you don’t prep, life will catch up with you and you will find yourself eating like crap.

The weekend is here, and there is no better time to really plan out your meals for the next week. Hit the grocery store, buy the healthy food, the healthy snacks. Plan your dinners too. How many times have you gotten home and work was long and you don’t feel like cooking? Or you pick up some fast food on the way home.

Prep your dinners. Make some healthy chili, make soup really good soups, or some healthy casseroles. Take Sunday to cut up, baggie up, container up, crock pot up, and set yourself up for success for the entire week. You will be so glad you did.

Have you some great recipes or ideas for prepping food? Would love to hear them!
