Let's keep rolling with some food ideas to simplify your life - ready to meal prep a little?
Try this LIIFT4 inspired meal prep that gives you 3 different menu ideas and shows you how to prep each start to finish! This is showing a 1200 calorie meal plan, known as Plan A with our Beachbody nutrition, so adjust as needed. For example, I'm in plan B or C pending on my goals/workout program so I would need to add some more food to this to make sure I'm fueling properly.
Lastly, I want to leave you with a reminder to take care of you. Do not keep pouring from an empty cup. If you're anything like me, once your family is all up and going, your day doesn't' end until your head hits the pillow.
That is why I am a firm believer in the power or morning time and making the most of it. This next week, I want to walk you through some steps day-by-day that I've been focusing on over the past 12 years and refining to mold into a great and highly effective way to Win the Morning which helps you win your day!
