We finally had someone come out to the house to fix our AC today, but it threw my whole schedule off – I didn’t end up eating lunch till almost 4, and that, in turn caused me to not be hungry at all for dinner. I know I need the calories to keep up with the workouts I’m doing, but in this case I figured skipping a meal was a lesser evil than eating at 11pm when I wasn’t really hungry and going to bed soon.
Also, since the dogs got a hold of my turkey jerky I didn’t have a high protein snack ready for today. I figured I’d order a turkey patty at Brent’s and that would suffice, and I swear I said turkey, but what I got was most definitely beef. 🙁
I also didn’t have time to prepare lunch for tomorrow, so again I’m left to wing it at a restaurant. I wonder if this weekend I could cook all my food for a month and just freeze it. Is that even possible with the stuff I’m eating?
It never ceases to amaze me how time consuming it is to prepare healthy meals….I mean, its not THAT time consuming, but when you do it 3 times a day, every day, it sure can feel like you’re ALWAYS doing it. I’m not usually prepared enough to do a whole weeks prep either, but there are some things I do to make my life easier…. I chop like two heads of garlic at once and keep it in the fridge in olive oil so that I always have it ready to go (and since I use garlic in just about everything, this is helpful. It is made easier too by this little mini- food processor chopper thing) I’ll cook a whole package of chicken for jon at once and keep it in the fridge and then just heat it by throwing it in the sauce or dish or whatever I use it for (you’d have to ask him if this preserves its flavor and texture, I have no idea). For me, I roast veggies ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. But most of the time I’m lucky to have a few days worth of stuff even planned, let alone prepared! It’s awesome, by the way, that you’re cooking so much!
