 This past Sunday I was so incredibly busy, scrambling to get all of my to-do items ready for the week. One of the things that helps maintain balance in my days is meal prep. It’s one of the things that I have control over and far not skip if I can help it! I wanted to share my thoughts in the hopes it would help others finding it hard to stay organized and prepared for the daily grind! I’d love to hear your thoughts and ways you set yourself up for success each week!
. . . . Original Post to Instagram: Sunday, October 28th, 2018 And just like that, meal prep done lickity split!💁🏽♀️ . In about 10 minutes to be exact thanks to some early prep this morning before my boys got up. . It might seem like I’ve got my ish together in this picture, but in reality I’ve been scrambling all day to get things done for my jam packed schedule this week. . I’ve gotten better at managing my time recently, but there still comes periods when I overextend myself. . What’s my saving grace during all this? Pre-established routines like meal prepping, setting out clothes for the week for myself and my son, and having my days blocked out with calendar reminders so I won’t lose track. . Proper preparation of the things we can control make all the difference when life is hectic or crazy, which seems to be more often than not these days. . If you’re like me, someone who caves easily under stress running for convenience foods, you have to prioritize your meal prep to avoid falling off the horse. 🐎 . Or the wagon. . Or whatever crazy thing you’re riding on. . At the end of the day, make time for the things that will save you in a pinch, you’ll thank yourself later! . . . . . 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎 #failtopreparepreparetofail #mealprepsunday #hotmessmom #doitanyway #wonderfullyfitmom

 I’ve been there before.
. Struggling with my body image, self worth and confidence. . Exhausted, lethargic and struggling to keep up with the day to day tasks. . Feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, laughing off compliments from my spouse and avoiding physical contact because I couldn’t fathom him finding me beautiful, much less desirable. . Thats a place I never want to go back to, from a physical standpoint of course, but more importantly avoid that negative mentality that dragged me down for years. . We are so hard on ourselves, conditioned to play the comparison game that it’s often detrimental to our emotional health, which translates to poor physical health as well. . Practicing discipline in the little things like eating better, spending time in prayer and meditation and moving more each day will begin building habits that will shift you in the right direction. . You deserve happiness and fulfillment. . It is possible to overcome your past failures and hardships. . You can accomplish the dreams held close to your heart. . It all starts with belief in yourself, and most importantly the decision to try. . If you’re ready for a change, inside and out, I would love to help you take that first step. . You’ll get FREE workouts, a nutrition plan, coaching, support and accountability from myself and the amazing @1stPhorm community. . There’s no time like to present to invest in yourself, and it would be my privilege to lift you up along the way. Feel free to send me a message or comment on this post, I’m here to help! . . . . 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 #mytransformation #thenandnow #transformationtuesdays #iam1stphorm #wonderfullyfitmom  Life has been INSANE lately, in a good way, which means I’m looking for ways to streamline and save time wherever possible! My latest twist on egg muffins literally took less than 10 minutes to mix together, with 15 minutes (give or take a couple) in the oven which of course was spent multi-tasking on something else! The thing I love about egg muffins is how versatile and portable they are; great for meal prep or having a fun and delicious healthy option when company is over for breakfast or brunch. I look forward to you giving these a try, they are simply delicious! You will need: A muffin tin, lightly coated with baking or other nonstick spray. Preheat your oven to 350F Ingredients: 5 Slices of uncured Turkey Bacon, diced 1/4 cup diced red or white onion 1 cup chopped broccoli florets 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese 1 ea 5.3 oz container of low fat cottage cheese (I love Good Culture Brand) 1 whole egg 2 cups egg whites 1 tbsp dried basil 1/4 tsp sea salt 1/4 tsp ground pepper Instructions: Combine all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Once everything is incorporated, scoop approximately 1/4 cup into your pre-greased muffin pan. Place in the preheated oven, baking for 15-20 minutes, just until the edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool, then transfer to your meal prep containers for storing!  Progress is a process, one that is 100% worth working toward.
. This is my sweet client and friend Stephanie, who came to me in June looking to make a change. . As a busy wife and mom of 5 beautiful kids, there wasn’t a lot of extra time to invest in her own health and wellness, but she was at a point where she was determined to improve regardless of the sacrifices. . The most important thing that we worked on at the start of her journey was making proper nutrition choices, with healthy, whole food meals with a foundation of lean complete proteins. . Most of us don’t consume enough protein at the right times during the day, which was one of the issues we uncovered during Stephanie’s initial nutrition assessment. . Focusing on consuming balanced meals consisting of lean protein (fish, chicken, beef, low fat dairy, eggs, legumes etc.) healthy carbs (brown rice, sweet potatoes, whole grain breads) and vegetables. . We worked together on building a strong nutritional foundation over the last 10 weeks, and while she did an amazing job of getting workouts in at the late hours of the night, what went into her body was crucial to her getting results. . In under 3 months, Stephanie lost 17lbs, and 18 inches! . More importantly, she gained a solid understanding of how to properly nourish her body to continue getting results, and established the discipline to continue crushing her goals. . Change takes time, effort and consistency, but if you’re willing to do the work, anything is possible. . I’m extremely grateful to have the opportunity to help her and my amazing team, and couldn’t be prouder of the work they put in every single day. . If you need help reaching your goals, even if it’s taking that first step, don’t hesitate to shoot me a message via the contact form on my website...I’m more than happy to help! . 🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸 #transformation #teamwonderfullyfit #mombods #proudcoach #wedothework #progressisaprocess  It’s hard to believe it’s been over 4 years since I underwent one of the most drastic and miraculous changes we can experience in life. . I enjoyed being pregnant, it was amazing to feel my son move and grow, but I struggled hard with my physical image following his arrival. . The reality of what our body goes through bringing a child into the world can be overwhelming. . I think as first time moms, we have unrealistic expectations of our body bouncing right back within a few of weeks, when in reality it takes months to get anywhere even close, and even then we are forever changed physically and emotionally. . Remember that the scars, loose skin and other changes symbolize the beauty of creating life within you. . And when you look at the sweet face of your little one, every thought of the physical sacrifice will disappear. . . . . 🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆 #waybackwednesday #babybumps #mombod #wonderfullyfitmom |
