First meal prep

Lately I have been noticing that even though I'm eating clean, it becomes hard when it comes to being busy or not planning my cheat meal each week because I give into temptation with food more than I need to. I realized that I need to try meal prepping each week! This way I won't be tempted to go through a drive thru or grab junk on the run. I will have healthy food already prepared at my house so there is no excuse. I have seen plenty of people do this strategy in their own lifestyle and they seem to be pretty successful with it. I've always been too lazy to try it and thought it was a waste, but now I am willing to try it out! If I want to reach the fitness goals I am aspiring for then I need to be more prepared. You know the saying" if you fail to plan then you plan to fail"? Well that has been me recently. I'm so proud of the spread I made and so grateful that my husband is willing to go along with all of this! I went to Walmart last night and bought a lot of inexpensive Tupperware to use just in case this isn't for me! I'm thinking you have to make it be for you if you want to reach certain goals:)! Here are some pics of my spread:)! My Meal Prep List: -Boiled eggs -Steamed Broccoli -Quinoa -Whole Wheat Couscous -Ground Turkey -Chicken breasts -Turkey Burgers -Mahi Burgers -Fresh Fruit (Grapes, Strawberries, Kiwi, Plums) -Cut up fresh veggies in baggies (Bell peppers and cucumbers) -Sweet potatoes (I didn't prepare them though because I don't know how to properly prepare them and refirgerate them yet without them becoming mealy) -Energy bites (From pinterest!) They ARE DELISH by the way!! All clean ingredients too:) I have tortillas, spring salad mix, and other things to help go with these items. It just gives me things prepared so that I don't have to take more time in my week to prepare:).
