Update! Update! Read all about it!

Tupperware life!... I never thought I'd be living it. For the last seven weeks I've prepped 249 meals but who's counting?? I thought as time would go by this journey would become easier but actually it's the exact opposite. I'm over it! Eating the same thing is no fun!! I no longer have much of a social life... Meal prepping, fasted cardio, training and sleeping have become my new hobbies. Boy have times changed! 

The seventh week has been the hardest for me. I'm tired of eating the same foods, I can't seem to get up for fasted cardio and I'm not seeing progress as fast as I would like. I have 3 months left which is plenty of time to prepare but it has become exhausting. Next week I will finally get to add some fats to my diet in addition to new foods! THANK YOU JESUS and BABY JESUS!!

I've learned some things along the way. I've never liked protein shakes but I discovered I more than dislike them, I HATE THEM! Unfortunately, it's something I have to have so I had to get creative. I pour the protein powder in a bowl, add a little water(has to be cold for me), mix it up and VOILA!! You got yourself some protein pudding!! Probably the best thing I discovered. Not only does it beat having to drink it but when I have a sweet tooth, it's a great "go to" treat! 

Another thing I'm not crazy about is chicken. Unfortunately, it's a big part of my meal plan. It seems like every time I cook chicken it's either over cooked and chewy or just plain NASTY! I didn't think I could jack up chicken on the Foreman Grill but guess what?? I still over cooked it! So here's what I did.... I went back to the good old days and brought out my crockpot! I know what you're thinking? Duh Marisol, everyone knows the crockpot will make some mean chicken. I know but being the impatient person that I am, I avoided it! So here is the new thing I do.... Put frozen chicken in the crockpot , season it, pour lemon juice, season a little more, add a tblsp of ghee butter, cook on low over night and WALLAH... You got some chicken falling off the MOTHERFREAKEN bone! No more chewy over cooked chicken for me! 

I'm no fitness guru and for some the things I've discovered may be old news. But for a newbie like me, it's been a challenge playing with my food. I will NOT GIVE UP and I REFUSE to let food overwhelm me 😁! I'm in control and I have to remind myself each day...
