Let’s talk about meal prepping.
This is probably not the typical meal prepping you think of. This is not making perfectly looking and appetizing meals portioned into equal size containers for Sunday through Saturday. This isn’t grocery shopping online for pick-up in a few hours. I don’t know how to calculate macros, I don’t weigh things, I don’t look at portion sizes, I don’t follow a particular “diet plan” anymore. Sound intriguing?
My meal prep is journaling each and every morning about what I am going to put in my mouth to eat and drink. Each evening, I review how the day went compared to my morning plan. Simply explained, but oh, just you try it out for a week and let me know how it went for you. What mental battles come up?
I fought this style of meal prep because I did not want to restrict myself from the endless food possibilities a day could bring. What if you had a last minute invite to dinner? I avoided writing out what I would eat because I could not bring myself to write down double stuf oreos or m&ms as planned foods but let’s be real, I was eating them anyway….and a lot of the time too! There was so much coaching I needed to get my mind right about when it came to planning food. But as of February 6, 2021, I cannot imagine going another day without doing this for my future self.
When I stopped listening to the lies I was telling myself about why I should not meal prep, it became easier and enjoyable. Why? Because this is such a powerful manifestation technique. I am writing into existence the foods that I know will better fuel me to the version of me I want to be at. I still include cake and cookies, but I am in control of when they appear before me as opposed to being a victim of them in my mind and giving in out of feelings of defeat or shame.
Find a pen and piece of paper – write down what you will eat and drink today then compare this evening to what you actually did eat and drink. I am sure you will be fascinated.
I can share with you that I have released 4.8 lbs of weight by doing this since February 6, 2021 (today is February 21st). My success is 100% due to unscrambling my mind through coaching sessions and loving the person I am today, lonjas (love handles) and all. I encourage you to take advantage of my complimentary coaching session available to begin a weight release process that is like no other. Message me for more details.
