Changes Day 2. Eating healthy

This is day 2, and i am here to give the report of the day. First i gotta say that most of the time the preparation is what makes everything hard. Someone once said that an organised person is the one who plans 80% of the time and 20% is carrying it out. so i had to research and see how i can improve myself, preparation is the key. And in terms of food here is what i do;

1. prepare my meals before i sleep. Preparing the things that will not perish or not be fresh the next day. Foe example, for salads, prepare the veges the day before and then refrigerate. When you are ready to eat you just add dressing. Microwaveable food containers will come in handy. If the food needs warming, you just put it in the microwave and they are ready to eat.

2. plan your meals well in time. For you to prepare the food, you got to have a plan, a meal plan of what you will be eating. This will help you to have a variety of meals, know what to buy when you go shopping an also help you with eating at the right times. Most of the time i just eat any junk because there is no binding schedule or plan to show me what i should be eating, so anything that is quick and near is OK. Planning is the solution to finding yourself in the McD drivethru.

Today's meal
