Tomorrow officially begins The Biggest Loser Challenge. While I'm not looking forward to the weigh in and having to admit how much I've let myself gain over the past 6 months, I am happy to be getting back on track. Last week was my "pre-game" week so to speak. I stayed on track for about 75% of the time as far as my diet but nailed it on my workouts. It really helped giving myself a little time to adjust back to a cleaner/healthier eating plan as opposed to trying to cur everything out all at once.
So, as per my weekly ritual, today I took a few hours and prepped my upcoming weeks worth of food (lunch & snack) as well as planned our dinners. This weeks menu consists of: lean ground beef, grilled chicken, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, hard boiled eggs & spinach salad. I always start with the raw foods so I started with our salads this week. Last week we did more of a traditional salad so to change it up I decided a simple salad with spinach, red onion and bacon.
Sooo...If you know me, chances are you know that I'm not the best cook, nor do I do it that often. So I'm very thankful for Youtube! I had absolutely no idea of what to do with a brussel sprout...lol! Turns out they are also pretty simple to make so I trimmed them up and threw them in the oven with the sweet potatoes.
All I had left after was boiling the eggs and cooking the hamburger patties. I already had pre packaged patties (enough to feed the neighborhood from the last 1/4 beef we purchased) and a George Foreman grill so that took about 5 minutes of my time.For me, I weighed out 4oz beef, 3oz sweet potato and just threw a portion of the brussel sprouts in the container....I'm really not sure how much is a serving so I just wung it! 👍😉 I now have enough food/snacks to get me through the week. This is starting to be easier already so with any luck I'll stay strong.Tomorrow I'll be weighing in and getting measured so I'll let you know how that goes 😬
