I wanted to focus on some meal prep this weekend to see if I can have more time in the morning to enjoy my tea and relax before my day gets started. I also want to add more green and colorful veggies into my daily meals and snacks. 

I was going to go grocery shopping first and then meal prep. But I realized I bought supplies to prepare a few meals last weekend, so I started that prep before I went shopping. It cleaned out my fridge nicely and made room for the fresh stuff coming in later. 

I went to play basketball with my 50+ crew, assisted in our tournament prep by some youngsters who could hoop! Then went shopping and came home to do more prep. 

I had a wicked allergy attack that must have started before my b-ball, and I could not calm it down all evening. My head and sinuses ached from the moment I woke up this morning, and I felt groggy all day from the meds I took last night, so I’m glad I didn’t have to cook or prepare anything this morning as I was moving extra slow. 

These were my workday meals and snacks. 

Breakfast: Broccoli, bacon and cheese quiche with an almond flour crust. Using 5 eggs plus 5 egg whites for a protein boost. 2 cups of Tulsi green tea. 

Snack: 1/2 C Greek yogurt with 1/4 C each of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, topped with hemp hearts and walnuts. A cup of peppermint tea. 

Lunch: Salmon and asparagus. 

Snack: Venison Chomps stick with red pepper and cucumber. 

**I got 30 min of walking in after work at my school. Walked on the grass around the football field. I had to make myself go telling myself I would feel better, which I did.  

Dinner (not pictured): Leftover Cashew Chicken from last night’s dinner. I used sprouted pepitas in place of cashews and it was a good substitute. 

Snack (not pictured): Baked sweet potato with 1 tsp Irish butter and about 1/2 tsp Allulose sweetener. Cup of chamomile tea. 

I wanted to see how these work today and then tweak if necessary. 

I’m back to keeping a food journal, but I’m really only tracking 5 things: Protein, Vitamin D, Magnesium, Omega 3, and fiber. I have goals for each one, and trying to meet my goals with real food. It’s challenging to get some of these just from food. I have some good supplements that I take no matter what, but still trying to find and eat foods that are rich in those nutrients. 

Which these foods today, plus I had to take a fiber supplement since I was just a tad short of 28g, I hit alllll of my goals, including 130g of protein. Wooooo!! 

I have the foods to repeat this tomorrow.
