#MealPrep for beginners

fitness May 25, 2016

My workout partner Rae-Lyn and I decided that we wanted to start meal prepping for the week to see how well we can keep up with eating healthy. Now that it’s been a couple of days since we started I have a couple of tips for beginners that I have learned.

  1. Before you meal prep, do your research. We didn’t do this well. We did sit down, decide what we wanted to eat, made healthy options but didn’t do enough research to make sure we had our calaries, protine, fat, portioned out right.
  2. Measure everything out. We had such a fun time doing this but after a couple of days, we realized that we had too much food in some of our meals. For example our salads. They are amazing and taste delicious, but although they are healthy, they were just way to big.
  3. Clean out your fridge. Before you decided to make all this new and amazing food for your meals, make sure that you have enough room in your fridge. And make sure you have no unhealthy food in reach so if you do get hungry, you have to eat the food you made.
  4. Be prepared for cravings. It takes a lot of self-control to make this happen. It’s easy to say “heck why not” but just remember all the time and effort you are putting into this and keep to it.
  5. Make sure you have something to make for the family. If you have a family, you want to make sure that they have food to eat as well and something healthy to help you stay on track. This is a great way to save money and keep you from going to a drive through and being tempted to order something for yourself.

Living Life one day at a time

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Joshua 24:15 Joshua 24:15

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Colossians 3:23-24 Colossians 3:23-24

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Psalm 73:26 Psalm 73:26
