Lose weight the fun way.

Added some new notes-to-self to my list today. Wishing everyone a great week ahead 💛

1. I should prioritize replenishing my fridge reserves of ready-to-eat lean protein and steamed leafy greens.

2. I should save meal prep for when my house is clean, my energy is high, and my stress is low. I should meal prep in the morning when I have more energy. Also, I should spread prep out over two days so it doesn’t become overwhelming.

3. My tools should serve my goals, not vice versa. There’s no point in prioritizing a $35 bet over long-term success, which benefits from predictable nutrition, low stress, and a modest deficit.

4. I should optimize one variable at a time. Since I’m currently optimizing for an aesthetic goal, I should accept that gaining muscle while losing fat will result in slower weight loss than simply losing fat. I should also accept that my current goals are better served by food predictability than by food variety.

5. I am responsible for stewarding my body, not “correcting” it.

Hey, everyone! I'm the heaviest I've ever been & that breaks my heart 💔 I went from 207 to 204 the first week. This time, I'm back at 206 😭

When I think about meal prepping/planning for the week, I end up just feeling extremely overwhelmed because I don't even know where to start 😩

Please give me any tips that you have. I'm forever grateful 💕

Great ideas here already. I also like the concept of making various types of healthy bowls or salads. You can mix up the toppings. So you can have different sorts of veggies, ready to eat proteins, olives, or pickled onions, and some sort of dressing or sauce. Buddha bowls!

My husband and I make a big batch of chicken breast in the crock pot once a week. He has also been sampling different meatball recipes and makes a big batch of meatballs. He separates the meatballs into little baggies of 3 meatballs. We also like to have a big batch of taco meat in the freezer. So we can just take it out and throw it in a pan for dinner. We use the chicken breast and meatballs for quick protein for lunches and snacks and will make a dinner out of them.

We also do either hard-boiled eggs to have on hand or a batch of eggbites for the week.

Ive been eating low carb, no sugar so this makes it easy to quickly grab something and add some fruit anf veggies to it.

Today’s lunch was strawberry salad and eggs with dandelion greens and kimchi. Lately I’ve been making a giant salad at lunch and saving half to eat with dinner — it saves time and helps me get fresh greens with both meals. Would love to see what meals other people are enjoying on the challenge!

Those mushrooms do look good. I also put my yoga mat on top of a rug — so much more comfortable that way. Yours is absolutely beautiful!

What is everyone's favorite place to find good deals or mark downs on meat? Prices are getting crazy.

Check FlashFood if your local stores use it. It’s an online platform for stores to post reduced items. Check early though, meats especially tend to move quickly!

Non scale victory! Bought a concert shirt last night in a size medium!

Farmers market haul.
I got a LOT of cucumbers—still have some From last weeks CSA as well. Any fun ideas for how to use them besides salad?

What a GORGEOUS spread! Those strawberries look so flavorful! For cucumbers, I love them sliced with soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, cayenne pepper, and a dash of sweetener (I like monk fruit or Stevia). It’s a nice spicy side to protein, or even just on its own for a snack.
