How meal prep helped me lose 5.2 lbs in a week!

Do you meal prep?  🤔🍴

I have never considered myself organized enough to actually plan out meals for my family and shop for them AND make them.  I had this idea that meal prep took a whole day of cooking plus the several hours of shopping for it.  😳

I guess it can take that long depending on what and how much you are making, but I don't have an entire day to spend cooking so I had to figure out something else that worked for me.  

Thanks to some ideas I got from Pinterest and the Fixate cookbook (link below), I came up with some ideas that worked for my family and helped me to lose 5.2 lbs in 7 days!  👊😃

This is my FAVORITE meal to prep ahead!  Turkey taco meat made with homemade taco seasoning and veggies ready to throw together for taco salad.  I put a little salsa on top and it is perfect!  

Taco seasoning:

1 tbls chili powder

1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 1/2 tsp cumin 

1/4 tsp onion powder 

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 

1/4 tsp garlic powder

I double this recipe since I make two pounds of ground turkey at a time.  Plus I like mine spicy!  😉

Chili!  I mean it's Fall, and the air is brisk...which means it's time for chili!  Again, I make my own chili seasoning instead of buying the packet because there's just so much sodium in those envelopes.  It's not much different from the taco seasoning, I just add more chili powder.  I make mine with turkey, ground chicken, or lean ground beef (whatever your preference) and use tomato sauce with no added sugar.  

These are just a couple examples of what I find works for me and keeps me away from the drive thru!  

This is something else that has helped me stay on track.  I have a group of challengers on Facebook and we encourage each there and keep each other accountable.  I made the commitment to snap a picture of each meal everyday and share with them.  It really makes you think twice about what you eat when you know you're going to take a picture and share with the group each night!  💥‼️
