Sometimes we have to take a moment and thank God for how truly blessed we are. That's exactly what I did after I closed my fridge. All the food that was prepped is a blessing.
I prepped 5 breakfast, 5 lunches and, 5 dinners. And, although the main reason to prep food is so I can know what I will be consuming and have a heads up on my caloric intake and macros for the week - it feels nice to know there is food waiting at home.
This week I told myself I wanted red meat. I'm not much of a red meat eater. I am the person who always orders chicken at a restaurant. And, I laid off red meats at the beginning of my weight-loss journey because red meats are more fatty. But, if I'm honest, I am just lazy and cooking chicken is a whole lot easier and quicker!
I always concentrate on what I am going to eat for lunch. For me, this is my biggest meal of the day for several reasons:
- Because I have been sitting in a chair for almost 4 hours and deserve some good food to be able to finish the next 4 hours
- It's mid-day and even though I am sitting down, I am still more active than what I would be at home and my body can burn the meal throughout the day
- I usually workout in the evenings so, I tend to go for light dinner meals since it's so close to bedtime
So! With all that said, take a look at this weeks lunch menu:
Monday: Salmon & Avocado Salad
Tuesday: Sweet peppers & Curry chicken with veggies and wild rice
Wednesday: Round eye steak, yams and Sweet snap peas
Thursday: Sweet peppers & Curry chicken with veggies and wild rice (btw... Thursday is new years eve, so lets just assume a lot of alcohol will accompany all my meals!)
Friday: Curry Chicken Salad
I wasn't finished with the Butternut soup in this video yet. But, you can see it here.
Have a healthy week!
