My work is sponsoring a weight loss challenge. I teamed up with four other coworkers and we were tasked with losing weight over a 12 week period. I
thought joining this challenge would be the kick in the butt I needed, but I've waited until the last minute to get serious (uh-oh).
I've got my fitness routine down, but with the end of the challenge looming I've decided to focus on nutrition. I will be continuing high protein foods but will add in some complex carbs, up my veggies and try to limit my fat intake. All of this takes planning & prepping. So bring on the Sunday Funday foodprep!
For breakfast my favorite will always be eggs.
This week I got everything to make a veggie scramble. I sautéed spinach, mushrooms, onions and garlic and added it to my egg white scramble.
Here's the final product packed and ready to go.
For lunch I took two pounds of of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and divided them into two quick and easy recipes.
The first batch required an Italian marinade. I combined balsamic vinegar, EVOO, garlic and oregano.
The second batch was more of a kickin' chicken. The marinade combined Frank's Red Hot, citrus and garlic.
And for an after-workout treat, I made a special batch of overnight oats.
Everything tastes better out of a mason jar, right?!?
Now hopefully all this prepping will pay off. I hate losing. But whether I win or lose at least I have all my meals taken care of for the week!
And now for the pic of the week:
This octopus adorns the wall outside of my favorite poke place, Ono Seafood. It makes sense since 3 out of 6 of their menu items are tako (octopus).
Mahalo!
