Micki's #mealprepmondays 90 day challenge day 60!!



When it comes to meal prepping you have to measure out your food in portions; prepare quality foods and  know what time of the day you will be eating. Here is what I prepped for the next few days; I only prep for about 3-4 days at a time since food doesn't last for ever you need to be aware how long what you're cooking will last don't wanna get sick!

My days 1-3 meal plan (day 4 is a carb day)
Workout (5am)

M1 (7am) 1/2 cup oatmeal & hard boiled egg or 2 strips of turkey bacon
M2 (10am) Vi Shake w/ fruit
M3 (1pm) 4 oz chicken, 2 cup veggie; 1/2 cup carb (brown rice, sweet potato or quinoa)
M4 (4pm) Avocado and hard boiled egg whites (snack)
M5 (7pm) Vi shake w/ pb2

It's pretty simple to follow I've lost 14 lbs in 55 days. Check out my before and after photo... I'm half way through my 90 day challenge and I feel amazing!!

                                                                           My two year old LOVES art; she loves to paint, color, and take photos.. So each year I hang all her art work and variou photos or keeps sake for the year on her "Art Wall of Fame" all I did was get a few screw in hooks and some string also some paper clips to hang the art; you can also use clothes pins or whatever works best for you! At the end of the year I take it all down and put in a file for my daughter so when she gets old she can see all the awesome art work she did as a kit!
