Prep for Success STEP 6: Grocery Shop and Do a Little Food Prep


OK, today might NOT be the day that I grocery shop or do food prep, but I’m putting it here cuz these are ESSENTIAL steps to think about and take care of if we’re going to start this thing on Tuesday! 



I don’t know when YOU shop or when you have time to do a little Food Prep (for me it’s usually Sunday night), but be sure to do it before Tuesday so you’re all set to start!  You don’t want to start this thing hungry or give up before you start cuz you don’t have any healthy food in your house—no excuses!



We’ve gotta fill our cabinets, fridges, and freezers with the good stuff!  Pack in delicious, nutritious, colorful, fresh, healthy foods that YOU LIKE!  Don’t buy a bunch of kale if you don’t like kale!  There’s no sense buying healthy food and then throwing it out later cuz you don’t really like it!  LOL!  Again..buy healthy food that you LIKE!



At some point…do some Food Prep. 



Not a big deal…make dressings, wash/peel/cut veggies and fruit and put them in sealed containers in the fridge so you can use ‘em for snacks or for faster meal prep during the week.  (BONUS:  Food prep gives you less dishes to wash and food scraps to take care of each day–make your mess and clean up ONCE instead of daily!) 




Make it fun…blast some music, listen to an audio book, watch TV, enlist help from another human who lives with you…whatever helps to make it more enjoyable!
