Prep for Success #2

Last week I talked about preparing the weekly dinners on Sunday, to ensure you're eating decently throughout the week.  It worked really well last week!  So today as I was preparing dinners for the week, I decided to try the same for my lunches.  I normally eat very healthy at work, because honestly I don't have time to snack and only have what I've brought.  But sometimes at night I'm a little rushed trying to get my lunch together for the next day.  Hopefully having it all prepared ahead of time will give me 10 minutes back each night to breath. 

One other thing I'm trying to work into my habits is eating more balanced.  I've found that as Susanne and I are on this challenge that I eat very healthy during the day (aka low calories, not on purpose so much as that's just what I'm used to eating during the day) then binge on chips and junk at night to hit my calories.  I know, that's odd.  One of my other co-workers is super into the healthy eating lifestyle, so I got some tips from her this past week.  I haven't quite worked my way up to the smoothies she eats (I admire her strong stomach - some smell a little like swamp juice), but I did hear her message about getting enough veggies and nutrients each day to feel better.  So my goal starting this week is to focus on eating the right types of calories and having balance in the types of food I eat, rather than just focusing on the calories.  This week I made turkey & veggie tortilla soup (a version of another recipe I posted in the past), and am bringing strawberries, pea pods, and pea pods for lunch.  Hope this helps!
