- Buy large packages of meat, weigh out, cook (when possible, I wouldn’t pre-cook hamburgers, but if I wanted ground beef or taco meat I would pre-cook that), put everything in Ziploc bags and freeze. Do 14 meals a week.
- Have your 14 fruit portions and veggies portioned and ready also.
- Keep a box of breadsticks at work and at home.
- Carry one large container of water with you for the day. Mark the container so you know how much you have to drink.
- Make your cabbage soup, salsa, and/or salad dressings once a week.
- Every Sunday, look at your week in glance, prepare ahead mentally as to how you will handle upcoming events and schedule changes.
- Feed yourself before you feed the Brood 🙂
- Once in a while, let the husband or babysitter take kids go out to eat and you take a bath.
- Don’t burn food smelling candles.
