Lazy meal prep is still meal prep

Hello all!  It’s been a long week but in the best way possible.  I’ve been inspired and motivated to do things.  I’m trying to do little changes to help me back in my flow.  This week I did do a meal prep but it more of a lazy meal prep.  (I’ll be doing some blogging about lazy meal prep very soon.)

This week I had enough time to do a little meal prep so I did the things that were easy.  I stocked the fridge with the usual fruits: blueberries, strawberries and this week’s new addition, watermelon.  It’s been my goal to get Tiny Tot to eat watermelon and I think yesterday I succeeded.

I’ll keep it short and sweet so you know what was on tap this week. (I know, my picture taking skills need to come up another level.  I’m working on that.)

I had the saddest breakfast tacos this week but the tacos were so good.  I should have been more prepped with veggies bell peppers and onions to jazz up the tacos a bit.

For lunch, I did something easy with the chicken sausage and green beans.  I just sauteed the stuff with some rice vinegar, sesame oil, and hoisin sauce.  I ate this with a side of quinoa and brown rice.

Dinner was simple. We had turkey burgers with sweet potatoes and green beans. Remember when I use to love broccoli? I haven’t been able to eat since I was pregnant. I know the health benefits of broccoli are amazing, but I just can’t stomach it anymore.

Each week I show you the muffins I made not because I think you’re interested but because I’m working on trying new things.  Joining the muffin club for moms club is meant for me to experiment with things I never would. The healthy muffins I’ve been trying lately are just what I need to dip my toe into baking. I don’t bake because I don’t like to keep sweet treats in the house. The healthy muffins are something both Tiny Tot and I can enjoy. Plus, it’s an easy way to get snacks out of the way.

This week’s muffin was a Sweet Potato Muffin. I made a lot of substitutions like whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and half the sugar.  My muffins are good, but a little dense and I’m sure it has to do with my exclusive use of whole wheat flour.  I’m still learning the tricks of baking.

Did you meal prep this week?  I’m still looking for ideas to share.

This week’s snack attack: homemade salsa is on the list

It’s a marathon week so I don’t do weights.  I didn’t go to my usual group Power class this morning.  Instead, I stayed in and did some strength training with the ladies of Tone It Up.  I seriously love these workouts.  You can get them for free on their youtube or buy a DVD like I did!  I started the program at the beginning of the summer and within weeks I noticed a difference.  These workouts are the bomb for toning up and looking fabulous. While I was working out, I was thinking about food.  Is that a bad thing?…

Happy Fouth of July

I know most everyone is probably out watching fireworks right now but I didn’t want to not post today. Today we celebrate America! How did you spend your day? Did you wear red white and blue? You wanna know how I spent my day? It started off with a 13.2 mile run. It was hard to get me out of the door this morning but I went when I didn’t want to go. I’ve been doing my long runs on Friday because it’s just easier. I can usually go in the evenings but today I went this morning. The weather…
