I got to spend time with my family Saturday and then friends Saturday night. Sunday I finished my errands, prepared for the upcoming week, and relaxed a lot!I stayed with my Weight Watchers points for most of the week, but last night I did dip into my weeklies as I enjoyed some sweet potato chips.
For me, preparing for the week means meal prepping. I know that if I don't cook food ahead of time I will without a doubt eat the wrong foods and then feel very yucky! The last few weeks I have kept it pretty simple and the same, crockpot shredded chicken. I love it.
Shredded Chicken:
- Chicken breast: I usually put in about 4 thick pieces.
- Chicken Broth: My favorite is Pacific Brand. I just put a enough in the crockpot to cover the bottom and touch the sides of the chicken. You really don't need much, this just makes sure it doesn't dry out.
Pacific Brand is super delicious! |
- Spices that you like: I love Bragg Mix
I love Braggs. I also use this brand for my apple cider vinegar |
At my Weight Watchers meeting last week we talked about switching things up to make sure you don't get bored of the food you are eating, when you get bored you get off track. I couldn't agree more for myself!! So for this week, in addition to my shredded chicken I am also cooking up some 93% lean beef burgers. I found them at Target and love them! I cook them up in a skillet and usually mix with a salad or side veggies.
In addition, I picked up strawberries and bananas instead of my routine oranges.
I'm looking forward to see how my week goes and my weigh-in Wednesday with me switching things up.
Do you meal prep? If you do I would love to know what you are making. I'm always looking for new ideas.
