Accountability ~ Day 67 Prep paid off!!

So last night I planned out some meals to cook - I wanted to try a kale recipe and a spaghetti squash recipe. I also had some turkey burgers and a deep dish pizza I wanted to try (which I turned into turkey meat loaf instead).
After making my list, swung by the grocery store and picked up what I needed... I wasn't planning on cooking last night, but got home and just figured I would get it done - I had the energy after a nice long nap yesterday.

I started with the turkey burger/meatloaf, got that going in the oven and threw in the spaghetti squash. While all that was cooking sauteed the veggies for the rest of the squash dish (peppers, onion, tomatoes) and did the same for the kale soup. Once the squash was done I just had to scoop it out and add the veggies to it, split it up in seperate containers, sealed and bam - two healthy meals ready to go.
Soup was simmering and just about finished. I had a bunch of chicken and decided I wanted to add chicken to both the squash and kale soup so pan fried a breast and a half in coconut oil. While that was cooking I started on the pizza topping - 96% lean ground beef, peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms. I'll make the crust probably saturday and enjoy it after my workout. Later this week I still need to make my favorite oatmeal apple cobbler breakfast - piece of cake to make that- will probably do that when I make the crust of the pizza.

The "point" of all of this is in about 3 hours I made, or at least got a head start on at least 15 lunches or dinners - that is easily about a weeks worth of food - once I finish up the breakfast and pizza and I wouldn't have to cook the rest of the week! I have a fridge full of QUICK healthy options. I don't let the veggies go into the fridge without being chopped, plastic ware is my best friend and so is the freezer! My kitchen was a DISASTER but I filled the dishwasher and wont have to worry about a mess the rest of the week - this doesn't have to be hard!! It will just be different for a bit and then it will turn into the norm.

After the gym yesterday I was hungry and didn't bring my post workout snack, I debated on swinging by Subway - hadn't had it in a while and was craving some bread. I was going to get a veggie sandwich but the almost white iceberg lettuce, lack of cucumbers, spinach and avacado made me turn around and walk out. 8 months ago my sandwich would have been processsed turkey meat, lettuce, tomatoe, mayo and cheese - either on honey oat (good) or white sprinkled with cheddar cheese (most likely), washed down with a soda or high sugar iced tea and two cookies. I decided to drive a bit out of my way and head to Chipolte instead for some farm raised chicken, black beans, and fresh salsas, romaine, and cilantro lime rice - yummm

Anyway...

9:00 Breakfast: Steel cut oats, blueberries, 4 egg white omelet w/ peppers, onions, mushrooms, sprinkle of moz cheese, green tea w/ stevia
