This week has proven to be a tough one for me. I havent felt the best so the idea of cooking just wasn't something I wanted to do. Luckily I had already prepped my lunch/snacks so I only had to deal with dinners. So for the most part I stayed on track but did have a few cheat meals....Pasta being one of them. But how could I not eat it when my awesome, thoughtful friend showed up at my door with my dinner prepped for me? Her version of Chicken noodle soup...and it was delish! (I did refrain from any cake, cookies or brownies for the week though, which is a WIN!!)I've had two weeks now of successful food prepping and Shakeology and I feel much better than I have in quite a while. The first week was by far the worst but it's getting easier as it goes especially since I'm starting to see results. I'm not feeling nearly as bloated, my clothes are starting to fit better and I don't feel as sluggish. It never ceases to amaze me what a difference it makes to eat a cleaner diet. So, with that being said, for week three, I'm keeping it simple: Rotisserie Chicken, fresh green beans and left over brown rice and sweet potato from previous dinners, which I just weighed, bagged and threw in the freezer to use this week.
I didn't even try to cook a chicken. My last experience was not a pleasant one.....lol. How does one actually cook a chicken upside down and not know it?!? Well, I did and the answer is...I just am not cut out to be a cook, I guess. Ha! So I just bought a cooked Rotisserie chicken, measured it out into
4 oz. portions & pan seared my fresh green beans so they were slightly less than done so they wouldn't be squishy when I warmed them up and put them in the containers to grab and go! The Rotisserie and package of green beans was enough for four servings total. I'll make a few salads later in the week and maybe some fish for the rest of my meals.
I'll be weighing in tomorrow and hope to see my hard work paying off. Wish me luck!
