A little meal prep action

In an effort to work on our nutrition and fitness goals while saving money, we make sure to prep food for lunches as often as possible. I can't blame Vic for being sick of choking down grilled chicken every day, when it's plain there just isn't a whole lot that even seasonings can do, eventually you have to spice it up! 

 

Vic likes saucy chicken, so I started making chicken salad for him. It keeps better throughout the week and the chicken doesn't seem to dry out while it waits to be eaten on Friday. Tonight, I took 25 ounces of grilled chicken breasts, 11 ounces of Greek yogurt, half a cup of our favorite wing sauce and about a pound each of chopped celery and carrots. I really hate Greek yogurt, but I gave this a shot and it is so good! I might actually steal some of his chicken salad this week. 


I joined a transformation challenge with Ashley Horner last week that runs for the next 10 weeks and it has been a great kick start to get me back in the gym and eating right. Because it's a competition, my competitive side has really kicked in and I've been doing pretty great with my nutrition. I haven't had the most exciting meals, but tonight I absolutely loved this mixture. I can't stand to eat cottage cheese on it's own so I mix in a little bit of strawberry jelly. I'm basically surviving off of Ezekiel toast since it's easy to eat with one hand while I'm nursing Cora. I topped my toast with my cottage cheese mixture and oh man, it was amazing! 


I'll be sharing more information about the #TransformYou challenge that I'm doing coming soon! I hope you had a great weekend, are you meal prepping tonight?
