Heathy Lifestyle-food prep for a week!

Ok, not exactly but just about!! We are doing really well on portion control in our house, and yay- in lost 2 lbs this week!! This is even after an entire week of missing my Zumba classes because Christian has a specialized swim course that goes straight through the middle of my workout schedule for a 10 day period. In total since having Chloe, I am down a little over 20 pounds! I must say that it was not until we began a serious choice to focus on getting proper nutrition and controlling our portions that the weight really started to drop.

After a couple of hours of cooking, including making a huge dinner to portion up for future lunches this week, we now have in our refrigerator: Four premade salads. Four pre-portioned servings of gluten-free penne with turkey meatballs and marinara. Six portions of organic sautéed green beans with sautéed red bell pepper, slivered toasted almonds, and fresh herbs. Four portions of pan roasted winter vegetables with curry. Eight ripe peaches, ripened in a paper bag on our countertop for a few days, and right more cut up in the freezer for smoothies. Low fat "pulled" pork, wonderful in tacos and in salad. Two big bunches of red grapes. Eight turkey meatballs for a quick protein. The big splurge for the week is a pound of wonderful salmon, which I will roast at my husband's request.

Besides the cut up peaches, in my freezer I have two containers of organic blueberries that I got on a crazy sale for $.88. Also, I have diced watermelon for smoothies, two frozen whole chickens for roasting if we run out of protein, a leftover container of my healthy southwest chicken chili, and other sundries.

This well stocked refrigerator should be a great jumping off point for eating healthy this week! Here's to easy eating! And maybe two more pounds 😄
