I'm here! I go by Tortilla
I'm looking to lose about 10-20 lbs by Memorial Day so I'm joining in the journey. My problem is I can eat healthy but I sabotage myself by hating working out. Loathe it. I have found a type of exercise I enjoy but it's 45 minutes away so I don't go often. I also enjoy drinking on the weekend so I'm trying to cut back on my "going out" but it's hard considering I'm still young and child-less lol. In case this helps anyone, I'll post my typical meals (I am by no means a picky eater though). I find the key is meal prep. When I prep food for the week, I'm much less likely to go out and eat something bad. I usually pick 3-4 hot meals to cook for the week and always make sure one of those meals at least is a crockpot meal - I do it all on Sunday or Monday but just do it whenever you have a free day. Then I portion out everything into tupperwares so I can grab and go.
BREAKFAST:
Chobani Flip yogurt (the Key Lime pie is AMAZING... I also use these as a desert)
Hard boiled eggs
Chia pudding
Scrambled eggs w cheese, hot sauce, avocado and sautéed onions... in a Flatout wrap
LUNCH:
Chipotle Chicken (Boar's Head) Wrap on Flatout with light mayo, mustard, banana peppers, lettuce
BLT salad
Dinner leftovers (this is usually what I go for as it's already been prepped on Sunday or Monday)
Soup
Trader Joe's wontons/gyoza/potstickers
DINNER:
I get some of the BEST recipes from SkinnyTaste - and she calculates points FOR you. I recommend:
Shepherd's Pie (HUGE portion!)
Sesame Honey Chicken (one of my favorites - I serve with brown rice or cauliflower rice (which tastes great btw) which both come frozen at Trader Joe's)
Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins (also a favorite and you can used any cooked pulled chicken. doesn't need a crockpot - also my lunch today)
Buffalo chicken and bean chili (huuuuge fan of buffalo sauce)
Chicken Ropa Vieja (a great chicken option for taco night - I try to eat mine in lettuce cups but the boyfriend likes tortillas)
Spicy Shrimp Stacks (you have to like sushi but gosh these are good!)
Eggplant pizza bites (I bake eggplant slices until they're crispy and top w tomato sauce and cheese, also works with zucchini)
SNACKS/SIDES:
To-go cups of little pickles
100 cal pack pretzels (or portion them out yourself from a big bag)
Grapes
Vinegar based coleslaw
Birds Eye Steamfresh Flavor veggies - they make a broccoli ranch and buffalo cauliflower
Microwaved sweet potato with a pad of butter and sprinkle of light brown sugar
Apple and peanut butter
Flavored almonds (these are addicting so I have to be careful)
Anyone else have recipes or food tips to share?
