The 6 P's

PRIOR PLANNING PREVENTS PISS POOR PERFORMANCE

What does this mean exactly? I am finding out the hard way... I have been faced with many challenges this past week, such as a heavy workload or impromptu dinner parties or lack of motivation. It feels like my work/life balance is out of whack and its affecting just about everything right now. I'm working longer hours so therefore I haven't kept up with grocery shopping therefore I've had to buy meals which in turn makes it harder to say on track and makes me angry that I planned so poorly to start!!

I am trying to buckle down and prepare my own food to bring to work. I have been doing very well with breakfast and usually lunch, I have quick and healthy snacks down and have upped my water intake by carrying a water bottle around 24/7. I just need to nail down the routine... wake up earlier in the morning to be able to prepare for the day and maybe squeeze in some cardio and then make a lunch and pack some snacks for the day. It sounds so easy right??

So how come I'm falling behind? I'm going to blame it all on the lack of a consistently and properly stocked fridge to draw from. I have some really great recipes that I can't wait to try and I hope to draw motivation from that. In fact, I have tried two of JJ's recipes and they turned out very well :) I made Protein Muffins last week and Shredded Wheat Chicken Strips a couple of nights ago. Delish!!

The recipes can be found here: JJ CONFALONE iTrainer Personal Trainer: How To Make It Taste Good

Once I find some more great recipes I will post them on the new Recipes page.
