Let's talk meal prep

Okay...  Seriously, who meal preps?  And I don't just mean menu plans.  I mean, knock down, drag out, spend your Sunday preparing your meals for the upcoming week?  No?  Yeah me either...  But I am always in awe of people that can & do meal prep.  I wish I would take the time to do it.  It would save me time, in the long run, and probably money.

I decided I wanted to learn more about it, and may attempt to meal plan, and not just menu plan.  So I did what any self respecting person would do...  I consulted Pinterest.  But you know what, with a little planning & prep, this next round of the 21 Day Fix may be my most successful one yet!  I am restarting for round 2.5 on Oct 6.  (I've stopped & started this program so many times.  I do follow the eating plan, although not strictly, but the workout schedule alludes me.). 

I am taking this week to plan out my menu & grocery shop for the foods.  And this weekend, I will attempt to meal prep.  I have found that I am one that enjoys to not think about my meals.  If I could have a chef, I would.  I don't like cooking, and don't like cleaning up after all the cooking is done.  

I have found that with my first round of the 21 Day Fix, I was making the same meals over & over again.  But you know what?  I want variety!  I'm a part of a few recipe swaps, support groups for the 21 Day Fix on Facebook, and people will often post their entire day of meals.  They look so good...  And then the doubt sets in.  I think, I can't make those meals.  You know what?  Yes, I can.  I just need to prep better.  

So, I will be updating you on how it is going all week.  I'll even be posting pics for you all this weekend.  

Anyone care to join me?
