Insert excuse here....

'I don't have time'

'My family wont eat that'

'I am lazy'

'I am just too tired'

'I'm too stressed'

Admit it, you have either used one of these or something similar......

I too am guilty of this, especially since my already packed schedule just got even more packed!

I am guilty for eating takeaway or packaged food like products that have had more numbers than actual ingredients :/

I am guilty for wasting organic veg because I have just been too tired or too lazy to cook them!

I am also guilty of skipping meals.....

So how can I make these excuses disappear?

FOOD PREP

Having food ready to grab will eliminate every excuse :)

I have been ordering organic fruit and veg boxes so I plan to meal prep after Friday's delivery, firstly I will come up with a menu to cover brekky, lunch and dinner, then I will check my staples just in case I need to restock before doing a big cook up on Sunday.

I want to plan my meals around creating little waste, I want my meals to be portable and to be eaten cold if I am out of the house, I am also trying to cut out using the microwave and only heat food either in the oven or over a pot of boiling water like my mum used to do when my dad worked late shifts (ahhh the memories)

I am also going to make sure my meals can easily be adapted for my family by simply adding more startchy veg or a little bit of meat which I have sourced from local organic butchers.

Sunday is my lazy day, I sometimes catch up with friends and family but mostly my afternoon is spent at home chilaxing with my kiddies and hubby so I am going to use part of this chill time to prep my meals and plan for the week ahead so that I am more organised both in the kitchen but also in my daily activities so that my stress levels are not impacting my digestion :)

As a mum I am always putting my kids first, but if I don't look after myself how am I going to look after my family?

I am also going to add in a weekly yoga class, it will be my time to recharge and focus on ME :)

My first prep will be tomorrow so I will keep you all posted with pictures and descriptions, wish me luck :)
