Morning came to me WAY too early today; thankfully I went to bed a little earlier than normal last night. The scale was kinder to me than I anticipated - weight unchanged from last week. Considering how out of the norm my week was, I'm thankful for this.
After a breakfast of mini pancakes (made with oat flour) topped with reduced fat peanut butter and sliced banana, I headed for the gym. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are always super busy days, so my new plan is to get the gym out of the way first thing on these days. I got in a solid hour of cardio & will do some free weights and core stuff at home tonight.
The rest of the day has been devoted to cooking. I will have several food choices on hand for busy times the rest of the week...so no excuses for hitting a drive-thru or grabbing unhealthy snacks at the store. The fridge is now stocked with premade salads, soups & cooked brown rice. In the cupboard, you will find healthy versions of banana bread & lemon poppyseed muffins. Still have a couple more goodies to make up tonight & about 12 pounds of chicken to cut into meal-size portions.
What kinds of things do you keep on hand?

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my site - it is appreciated and I do feel much better today.
I got a Nissan Xterra - I like trucks rather than cars and if I ever move out of the city again, this one will meet my highway driving needs :)
I am a prepare ahead freak. I have frozen portion sizes of chicken, turkey, roast beef and smoked tuna. I have frozen measured out portions of brown rice, Quinoa as well as lots of veggies. In the morning, I just grab what I want for lunch and away I go.
I keep raw almonds in my purse for emergencies and once in awhile I'll throw in a protein bar but I tend to stay away from them as they aren't always "clean".
Greek Yougurt, almonds, and cut up veggies and fruit. Lately I have been grooving on celery with almond butter
