Doing Great!

So, it took a lot of work, but now I feel like prepping food was the BEST thing I could have ever done.  Here are a list of things I have learned and benefits I have found from pre-packing my food.

• I pretty much just heat and go for the most part.  It really saves a lot of time in the long run.
• I am not having to think about what I'm going to eat and whether or not I have anything at home to eat.  It's all there just waiting on me.  
• Measuring has also made it much easier to track/log my food.  I know exactly how much I have.  It's great! 
• Measuring also means that I see how much a proper serving size is, and to be honest, a normal serving size is a lot...especially with pasta, rice, and veggies.
• I have a nice variety of food, and so far I am not bored with any of it. 
• I am not stopping at fast food places.  So far I have been able to keep some kind of food with me/in my car so that I don't stop.  Stopping whenever I'm in the car became such a habit that my body just says I should be stopping or at least eating something, so if I eat something small that I brought from home while in the car then the craving for fast food goes away.

I feel like I have my mojo back.  I know it won't be like this everyday, but I feel awesome today!  I did some strength training today for the first time in awhile.  It was nothing fancy, but it was something.

Because I am feeling so great today...
