Time flies when you are having fun, right?  It is hard to believe how quickly December has flown by, you feel me?  I mean, we are already in week 3 for my current accountability group, Slim Down for Santa and I feel like we just got started! 

I wanted to share a glimpse into my meal plan, I know so many people are intimidated by the thought of having to plan out a weeks worth of meals AND then prepping! But I promise it is not as scary as you think and it is one of the best ways to keep your nutrition in check! 

I personally leave a lot of my favorites on my meal plan from week to week, those are my staples. Having staples that you can eat over and over again really help simplify things.  I will say the same thing here that I tell my challengers, if a person who eats junk food can eat french fries and burgers every day for a week straight, why can't someone who eats healthy eat salads every day for a week? Are you picking up what I am putting down? 

Some examples of those staples are:

Snacks
Greek Yogurt + Fruit
Cottage Cheese + Fruit
Carrots or Celery + Peanut Butter
Grape Tomatoes (or any tiny tomato that you like) 
Peanuts

Meals
Shakeology (can be a snack too)
Salads
Eggs or Egg Burritos w/ corn tortillas
Chili
Tacos
Burgers

A lot of the things I make, I make in larger batches when I cook them (like the chili, taco meat and burgers), then I freeze the extras! So great to have around for nights when you don't have time to cook dinner or lunches! 

Here is my sample meal plan this week! This meal plan is based on the 21 Day Fix Extreme program I am currently doing. Feel free to ask questions below!
