August 1
Tracked: Yes
Under Calorie: Yes
Water: 74oz
Steps: 12133
We went camping with my parents as part of my mom's birthday celebration. They had a nice trail and my husband and I ended up walking 4 miles around it. It's always a challenge while camping food wise. Everyone brings stuff to share that I don't eat anymore and there are always temptations. I did very well though and stuck to my plan.
I forgot to say in my intro, anyone who would like to add me as a friend, feel free to do so! I like having lots of friends, and my diary is open.
Great job sticking to your plan!1 -

Sunday check-in.
Every Sunday is meal prep day for lunch and breakfast.
A lot of people believe that they don't need meal prep or it is too time consuming to invest in. But, did you know, 80% of the success in weight loss is in the kitchen?
I meal prep every Sunday (for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) and Wednesday (for Thursday, Friday and Saturday).
I take about 2 hours each day.
Some people think that 2 hours is too much time spent on meal prep but, lets put it this way: A day has 24 hours, a week has 168 hours. Let's take 8 hours per night and you have 112 hours. You say that you can't invest 4 hours a week from your 112 "active" hours? I don't believe so! : )
So for me, here is what it looks like: Photo
I know that it wont win some instafood dish of the year but the macros are totally worth it!
1 large egg (~60grs): ~68 calories
150 grams of chicken: ~158 calories
150 grams of boiled sweet potato: ~129 calories
Total: 355 calories (30 carbs / 7 fat / 43 protein).
And this is my lunch for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
How about you?
Do you guys meal prep?
How are your meals structured?
Let me know how you guys do it, share ideas or concerns. Food is taboo until you get confortable enough to talk about it!

Gained again grrrrr.
But my steps have well increased up to 37,512 go me.
Hopefully this week I'll increase them again but not too sure on losing anything. It's hubby birthday tomorrow so meal out, he got a gorgeous chocolate that I will have to help him eat hehe 😋. Then I'm taking him away for a cpl days so obv I'll be drinking. But we will be doing lots of walking.
Have a great week to all ❤❤5 -

Thanks. It’s been too hot to walk outside much. Hit the treadmill today, better than walking outside but pretty boring.3
