Meal Prep Sunday

When I think of Sunday Funday, I think BRUNCH and MIMOSAS, followed by a lazy afternoon of NETFLIX, SWEATS and NO BRA!

But this Sunday...I decided to enjoy my mimosa (still with no bra) while prepping my meals for the week! 

 

In all honesty, I get on my "Meal Prepping" kicks and then fall off the wagon the next weekend. It's a vicious cycle...one week I'm meal prepping like a BOSS and the next weekend, I let the mimosas get the best of me!

BUT, NOT THIS SUNDAY...(or the next Sunday either)

I've been doing PIYO for over a month now and I'm seeing AWESOME changes in my body. I'm way more flexible. I can actually do a backbend again...hell, I even did it on a PADDLEBOARD! Thanks you PIYO for my CORE STRENGTH! However, I still got that SWISH I'm ready to get rid of around the mid-section! 

So in less that 2 hours...and my meals are made for the week! Here's the break down of what I did on my SUNDAY FUNDAY!

MY SUNDAY FUNDAY BREAKDOWN

1. Wake up, enjoy a cup of Joe, and drink my ohhh so yummy SHAKEOLOGY!

2. Walk Dumpster and start talking to myself so I can figure out what sounds yummy!

3. While enjoying my 2nd cup of coffee, I make my grocery list (listed below)

4. PUT ON BRA and go to the grocery store!

5. Start the official 2 HOUR MEAL PREP COUNTDOWN!

GROCERY LIST

• Veggies (Zucchini, Squash, Broccoli, Carrots, Peppers, Onions, Salad Mix, Cucumbers, Mushrooms)
• Fruits (Grapes, Pineapple, Apples)
• Chicken Breasts
• Hummus (Publix Chili Lime is my favorite)
• Eggs
• Avocados (or Guacamole)
• Quinoa or Brown Rice
• Cottage Cheese
• Whole Wheat Wraps
• Frozen Fruit (for my Shakeology breakfast)
• Marinade (depends on my mood what I like)

MEAL PREPPING

1. I start off by marinating my chicken right off the bat (usually for an hour).
2. Using my rice cooker, I go ahead and cook my rice/quinoa. This usually takes about an hour, but with the rice cooker, I don't have to worry about it or stir it or freak out when it over boils and makes a complete mess on the stove!
3. Boil my eggs to use as a snack or a little extra protein for my salads. 
4. Chop up my veggies for snacks (carrots, cucumbers, and red peppers)
5. Fill my pre-portioned containers with hummus so I don't eat the whole container (I use hummus for my snacks...easy on-the-go meal).
6. Chop up veggies for my salads and portion out my salad mix using the 21 Day Fix containers so I don't go overboard with my proportions. 
7. Chop up veggies for meals. This week I'm having stir-fry for the first 2 days so I went ahead and cut up those veggies to save time on dinner.
8. Grill up my chicken and try to devour all the food I just prepped!
