Okay, this weekend wasn't so clean. I realize now, front and centre, I need to focus on meal planning. But, planning alone is not enough. I realize this when I read through cook books and prepare a meal plan, but don't follow through. Planning requires finding the motivation and making the time to cook those healthy meals. This will also be something I will work on this week.
Eating healthfully follows a lot easier when you have foods made and ready to eat in the fridge and 'convenience' foods which are clean and support endeavours to change your eating lifestyle. This does not include, in my case, Kraft Dinner, soda, or sole reliance on breads and cheeses to fulfill my diet.
My goal this week is to plan my meals AND find the motivation and time to prepare them. Not entirely considering if they fit the clean bill 100%, I commit to planning what I will eat each day and preparing it. Next week, I will consider how clean the foods are.
My meal plan for today:
Breakfast: Shake
Snack: Almonds and an apple
Lunch: KD w/ tuna (leftovers) (the cleaner alternative to be a bean and vegetable salad, which I would prefer, but did not have the motivation to bring one together last night)
Snack: cut raw veggies w/ 1/2c. hummus
Dinner: chicken curry (a compromise from butter chicken) w/ rice noodles (the clean alternative being spaghetti squash)
Snack: yogurt & chocolate pro powder
My menu planning for today is done. I have prepared everything that I need to stick to this today. Tonight, I am going to help myself by preparing a vegetable/bean salad that I can eat for lunch for the rest of the work week.
