food prep.

"The key to staying on track is planning and preparation."

This week I wanted to set myself up for success. Sunday night I went grocery shopping. Then I spent a little time in the kitchen preparing the food I would take to work each day.

I bought a big tub of yogurt (cheaper) and divided it up into smaller 1 cup serving containers. I cut up a bunch of celery and carrots and divided them up into smaller bags. I made my own veggie dip (plain Greek yogurt and an organic ranch packet).

In all, it didn't take very long to do BUT it made a huge difference. Each morning when I was getting ready for the day, all I had to do was make my sandwich and then grab a yogurt, some veggies and dip.

I'm hoping to continue learning more about food prep.

When I'm hungry, I want to eat now! So if I have to take the time to make something, I usually skip it and go to the 'quick fix foods.' And having healthy foods around, already prepared will help with this!

Here's to planning and preparation!
