How do you prepare for the week?

Sunday, my day of rest.  Not really, but it is the day where I prepare for the new week.  Normal Sunday preparation includes:

1. Chop and measure out vegetables into snack size containers
2. Cook at least two different meats for week
3. Write down what I will eat for lunch and dinner for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
4. Pack gym bag for the week
5. Pack bag for clothes to wear while walking at lunch
6. Clean litter boxes
7. Pick out clothes for work for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 
8. Leave out clothes for Donna to iron (when necessary)

I am slightly OCD.  Balancing work, school and rehearsal is quite a challenge.  I need a plan so that I can get it all done.  Without a plan the easiest thing to give up is the workout. There is no reason to skip the gym if your gym bag is packed for the week and put in the car Sunday evening.  Meal planning means you don't have to figure it out what to eat when your hungry.  You won't have to stop by the local pizzeria on the way home if you planned out your meals.

Here is some of what I have cooked for this week.

Roasted organic sweet potatoes.  Yum!

Grilled summer squash and boy choy sum.

I also grilled some chicken for Donna and steak for me.  I will cook more vegetables later today.  I will saute some  swiss chard that I got at the farmer's market yesterday.  Happy planning.

Tip of the week:  Meal planning and planning your workout will help you meet your fitness and health goals.
