Simple Meal Prepping Tips

When life gets busy, it’s easy to forget about your nutrition, hit the drive-thru on the way home from work and let the extra snacks,

If you’re a mom who works REALLY hard to stay on track with your nutrition Monday-Friday, but yet find yourself falling off track every Friday at 5pm, let’s talk about how you can change that!⁣
⁣
First of all, understand I know how you feel because I used to struggle with it too.⁣
⁣
It was easy for me to give 100% all week long, but as the week went on, I became more tired & run-down, felt more stressed out and by the time the weekend arrived, I just said “eff it, I’m going to eat/drink whatever I want!”⁣
⁣
This type of all-or-nothing mindset really made me struggle HARD for many years. I was ALL-IN during the week and ALL-OUT during the weekend.⁣
⁣
And then I’d start over every single Monday, telling myself “this is the week I’m going to be perfect all 7 days”. Only to follow the same patterns as the weeks before.🤦🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
It wasn’t until I began allowing myself permission to NOT be perfect throughout the week and start trusting myself to fit in some extra treats/foods I enjoyed, that I stopped falling off track on the weekends.⁣
⁣
Because when you put ALL this pressure on yourself to be perfect with your nutrition, you can only do it for so long until your willpower goes away, then suddenly you find yourself binging on that bag of peanut m&ms you had hidden away.⁣
⁣
Nutrition (and fitness) doesn’t have to be all or nothing. You don’t have to eat perfectly through the week and then blow it all up on the weekend, losing all of the progress you just made.⁣
⁣
Instead, try implementing some new habits/behaviors I shared in these slides to help yourself lose this all or nothing mentality, so you stop falling off track and can finally start losing weight and keep it off!⁣

⁣
Wait, what?!⁣
⁣
Think about how ridiculous that sounds. Why would you want to WAIT to start feeling GOOD about yourself?⁣
⁣
Think about it:⁣
⁣
You feel uncomfortable in your own skin and all your clothes are too tight.⁣
⁣
You avoid the mirror+pictures because you hate the way you look.⁣
⁣
You feel tired, heavy and sluggish.⁣
⁣
And you’re so tired of feeling this way, right?⁣
⁣

⁣
It’s easy to tell ourselves we will be fully committed and FINALLY lose the weight once January comes. Or after the next holiday, or the next birthday or after the kids activities slow down. Or whatever reason we can come up with as an excuse.⁣
⁣
But be brutally honest with yourself, do you really think that’s going to happen? What’s going to be different the next time that will make it the ‘magical’ time you follow through?⁣
⁣
The answer? Probably nothing.⁣
⁣
What if instead of waiting for the perfect or ideal time, you decided to take messy, imperfection action NOW like all these ladies did?⁣
⁣
Imagine this:⁣
⁣
💫No longer fearing social outings or holidays, worrying about what you’ll eat to stay on track⁣
⁣
💫Having a plan and actually sticking to it this time, rather than quitting (again)⁣
⁣
💫Not feeling deprived, restricted OR missing out on foods you enjoy,especially through the holidays!⁣
⁣
💫Feeling confident AF in every outfit you throw on+every time you see yourself in the mirror⁣
⁣
💫AND losing 10-20 pounds in the process!⁣
⁣
Because it IS possible to achieve ALL of these things for yourself right now, without waiting until January.⁣

My whole focus was on the scale, how many calories I could burn during a run+undereating. This was the beginning of several years ahead with a poor relationship of both food and exercise.⁣ ⁣ 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟮-𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟯: After dealing with a stress fracture from running, undereating and no strength training, I changed my approach to fitness. I started lifting weights, getting more comfortable with the gym and fell in love with becoming stronger. My focus was still on how many calories I could burn in a workout, under-eating because I didn’t want to ‘waste my workout efforts’ and still very focused on the scale.⁣ ⁣ 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟰-𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟲: I became even more obsessed with fitness, working out + running 6-7 days/week, tracking macros religiously and was very good at being perfect through the week, only to fall off track every weekend. There were many weekends of binge eating + drinking, along with the mindset of having to start over every monday and burn off all the extra food/alcohol i consumed.⁣ ⁣ 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟳: I realized that my obsession with fitness was also a passion. I loved talking about my workouts, enjoyed researching nutrition and wanted to learn even more! So I studied for my personal training certificate, passed and began helping others in their own journey. (it was also in this time that I began working on my relationship with food+exercise)⁣ ⁣ (𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝟮 𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬!)$

If you find yourself struggling with motivation every single week, I get it.⁣
⁣
That was me once upon a time too. (Aka 2011-2013ish)
⁣
I’d have a week or two where everything was great and I was getting my workouts in, sticking to my diet and thought I had it all figured out!⁣
⁣
Thennnnn the dreaded lack of motivation snuck in ⁣
like a kid crawling into your bed at night. ⁣
⁣
Can you relate?🙋🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
In the beginning, I let my feelings control each situation.⁣
⁣
If I didn’t feel like working out, I didn’t.⁣
⁣
If I didn’t feel like eating nutritious foods, I didn’t. (And then stuffed my face with whatever junk food was laying around)⁣
⁣
I allowed myself to stay unmotivated and thought ‘oh I guess this is just how I’ll always be so I might as well accept it’⁣

⁣
Waiting until you feel motivated to workout or eat healthier isn’t going to help you at all!⁣
⁣
It doesn’t help you lose weight. It doesn’t help you fit back into your old clothes. And it sure doesn’t help you feel more confident anytime you look at yourself in the mirror.⁣
