This week’s Mel’s Clean Eating Meals does not have a lot of vegetables, but I ate some good meals! Does that count?!
My eating schedule is quite different since I’ve been on maternity leave and on Abby Jo’s schedule, rather than my own! I have been trying to eat a little more healthy the last few weeks, but I have not done a great job of getting veggies in. I need to make that a priority apparently.
Check out Mel’s Clean Eating Meals to see what healthy foods I ate from start to finish. Don’t forget to check out this week’s Grocery Shopping & Meal Prep Ideas Week 73 post to see what I prepped! [Read more…]
Even though I am not back to work yet (still a couple more weeks of maternity leave), I have been meal prepping a few things over the weekend.
My days can get crazy in a hurry, so I have been keeping healthy, cooked foods in my refrigerator. That way I have some easy lunch, dinner and snack options that I can throw together in no time! My meal prep ideas this week include a sheet pan chicken dish, plus some egg muffins. [Read more…]
Some mornings I have plenty of time to whip up a healthy breakfast and other mornings I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off!
Can you relate?
If so, I suggest making a batch of these Blueberry “Power” Muffins so you’ll have a healthy option for those headless-chicken mornings! You can grab one or two of these healthy muffins and be out the door in no time! Pair them with a protein shake for a complete breakfast in minutes! [Read more…]
It’s hard to believe that Abby Jo is now 5 weeks old! I’m back to working out a little bit, but taking it easy. I have been trying to eat a little more healthy, but I am definitely not being hard on myself if I don’t.
Timing for meals has been dramatically different now that I am on maternity leave. I’m not as hungry as I used to be because I am not doing much during the day.
I’m also pretty distracted. If Abby is awake then I want to hang out with her, but if she is sleeping then I try to get a few things done! Eating meals happens in those sleeping breaks, but they have to be quick and easy! [Read more…]
This was the first week since we’ve had Abby Jo that I felt like I had some meal prep ideas. I did a little prep last week, but it was pretty disjointed. This week I busted out a couple things on Sunday so that we could eat healthy this week.
Both Donny & I are trying to eat somewhat healthier than we have the past few weeks. I definitely wanted some healthy foods already cooked so that I could make some meals in a short amount of time. I do feel like I accomplished that! [Read more…]
Baked Sweet Potato Wedges make an easy, yet healthy side dish.
Sweet potatoes are sometimes considered a “fall” food, but I love them any time of year. I enjoy them baked, sautéed, mashed, fried – you name it, I like it! [Read more…]
It has been four weeks since we brought Abby Jo into this world and I am finally meal prepping again! It looks a little different than before because I am still on maternity leave. No need for pre-portioned lunches or snacks yet!
We’ve had a ton of family and friends bring us meals so that we didn’t have to cook those first few weeks. It was awesome to have those available, but I am ready to get back to (somewhat) healthy eating! I cooked a few things to eat for lunches and dinners. [Read more…]
Mel’s Clean Eating Meals have changed quite a bit over the last few weeks! At least this week they are a little bit more healthy…
I haven’t lifted weights or done much exercising (besides going on walks outside) since a week before Abby Jo was born. It has definitely changed my appetite and the way I eat.
First of all, I have been eating breakfast later in the morning because I’ve been sleeping later since I am doing 2-3 feedings at night. I also have not been expending as many calories since I haven’t been at the gym. Both of those factors have me eating less frequently and less in general.
I’ve been trying to keep the food that I do eat a little more healthy this week, but I’ve also been going for convenience too! [Read more…]
