Grocery Haul! (09/21)

Aloha readers! 

I hope you've all had a great weekend, and are all ready to kick some butt this week! 

I went to go get some groceries today, but of course I took a couple selfies before leaving the house :) 

I also like to take some time to plan out roughly what I'll be eating each day, possibly even each meal, and then use that information to plan out how much food I want to pick up! 

I was a little short on time today, but here's a rough idea of what it would look like:

Top left corner: grocery/ingredient list 

Notebook: plan of meals for the week 

I had full intentions of making this week's photo more interesting, ie taking photos with my grocery cart or while I was shopping...but I forgot =P So for another week, you will have to settle for this overfilling table food! 

On the table (left to right): celery, carrots, sweetened vanilla almond milk, light thai coconut milk, mixed spring greens, red pepper, zucchini, onion, coffee grinds, strawberries, simply whey protein bars, sour cream, burger buns, chia seed bread, broccoli, garlic, brussels sprouts, natural beef hot dogs, some milk. 

Some meals that I'm planning to make (nothing crazy) include my signature coconut curry chicken (using much of the veggies pictured, and the coconut milk), toast with scrambled eggs and cheese, tuna and legume pasta salad (not pictured), spring mix salads, sweet chili chicken burgers, and more! 

I've got a busy busy week ahead of me, but since I'm not a huge fan of prepping meals for more than 2 (max of 3) days, I'm going to opt for quick and simple foods (rather than always buying food, like I have been!)
Things like the sweet chilli chicken burger, tuna legume salad are all quick easy options! 

Not to mention the ingredients can be all made together during dinner, and used for lunch foods too! 

For some time, I always thought "why can't I meal prep like other people?" "how come they're seeing better results than I am?" Well, the result part was obvious - because I wasn't 100% committed! Why wasn't I 100% committed? Because what works for them DOESN'T work for me. In other words, in order for me to succeed, do well, and see the results I deserve, I need to find out what works for me and stick with it! Be 100% committed! 

Grocery Haul (05/18)

Aloha!

So for last week's grocery haul, I showed you a picture and gave you some details about the haul. 
This week, I was finally able to put together a quick video to verbally tell you about my haul! 

I'm still new at making videos, I don't know much about editing videos, and my camera is super old. Sorry for some quite volume and the average quality of the video :P 

My grocery hauls are never "complete" of all the things I eat, because I tend to have food left over sometimes, or I didn't use as much as I planned. Therefore, my grocery trips often consists of odd things here and there to use with my leftover groceries! 

I'll be working lots again this week, so I'm going to have to stay sharp and use my time wisely to get my workouts done and stay on track with my eating and CPT studies! 

As usual, workouts from my Bikini Booty Summer Body (BBSB) Challenge will be posted daily so that you can do the workouts too! If you want the full program with detailed rep ranges, number of sets, cardio sessions, and much more, download the program today! 

Download link can be found on previous posts or on the "workouts" page :) 

Cheers!

Meal Prep ! (04/28)

Meal Prep Complete! 

I haven't meal prepped in a long time, and it definitely felt more like a chore than a hobby doing it this morning. Or maybe because it's Monday today :P 

So I started off small, because I'm not a fan of always having 3-day leftovers. 

I started with: 4 tilapia filets, 5 chicken filets, 1 1/2 cup of white and brown rice mix, and 1 pound of kale-salad mix. 

Today I made tilapia kale-mix salad with poppy seed dressing for lunch, and pan-friend seasoned chicken filets with a brown and white rice mix for dinner. There will also be an assortment of veggies that go with that, but I took the photo before cooking them.

I'm sorry if these don't look as "appetizing" or "too healthy" (as my boyfriend said), I know I suck at my food presentation :P

If you're wondering why I've suddenly changed up my eating again, it's because I am starting my new 6 week program; Bikini Booty and Summer Body

04/26 - Grocery Haul of the Week!

Sometimes it's hard to imagine that I can eat ALL this food in roughly a week! 

I LOVE grocery shopping. Mainly because I know I have the ability to control what I get to eat for the next little bit, it also allows my "nutrition-geek" side to come out and play :) 

For this week, I only have a photo of my haul. But I'm hoping in the next couple weeks I'll be bringing videos to you of my grocery hauls :D 

So from this weeks haul I've got the staples: 

• Frozen and fresh strawberries
• Broccoli and mushrooms 
• Cucumbers, Tomato, and Zuchinni 
• Greek yogurt 
• Chicken filet and tilapia filet 
• Smoked salmon 

And a few new things that I don't usually have: 

• Organic, gluten free bread 
• Kale and broccoli mixed salad 
• Annie's Creamy Shell Mac and Cheese (I probably butchered that)
• Garlic flavored Risotto 

I'm not a huge fan of box Mac and Cheese, but I hear great comments about Annie's M&C, so I had to give it a try when I found it in stores! 

A challenge of mine is to use up all my food without letting it go to waste. So this week, it is my goal to try and utilize as much as possible for my $65 grocery haul :D I'll be looking up some new recipes for my tilapia, and meal prepping roughly 3 days worth of meals at a time.
