| Hey reader! Got "eating healthier" scribbled on your to-do list, or has it been lingering in the back of your mind for a while now? It's pretty common to start feeling a bit overwhelmed or like there's this pressure mounting to make some "changes." And hey, I completely get it. I've been in that spot more times than I'd like to remember. 🤔 But here's a little nugget of truth I've picked up along the way: most of that feeling of being totally overwhelmed comes from the idea that you need to flip your entire eating routine on its head. Like, the only way to eat better is to dive into massive changes or to chain yourself to some super restrictive diet that, let's be real, is just not going to stick – and between us, who even wants to try? I mean, permanently cutting out pasta and pizza? That's a hard pass from me. But, here's a little insider tip from me to you: you don't have to flip everything on its head. 🙌 Actually, I'm here to suggest the exact opposite. Think about it—if you roll out of bed on Monday and try to revamp your entire diet in one go, chances are you'll just end up feeling overwhelmed and throwing in the towel. And that's definitely not what we want. So, what's the better move? Let me share what worked for me. This little trick changed everything for me over 10 years ago when I decided to switch my eating habits. And the best part? It still works. 🏆 I started to meal prep – nothing too wild, just simple and effective. You know, back when I started this journey, I didn't even realize what I was doing was called 'meal prep.' All I knew was that I had to prepare our meals in advance if I wanted to eat healthy. Let's be real, cooking from scratch every night just wasn't going to happen in my world. So, I took the plunge. That very Sunday, I decided to prep a few dinners ahead of time. And I kept it super simple. I stuck to the recipes I knew inside out – I mean, we're talking tacos, red clam sauce, and shredded buffalo chicken for wraps. Nothing fancy, just straightforward and delicious. And you know what? It was a total game-changer. I know it might sound a bit over the top, but it genuinely transformed my life. 🙌 That week, something amazing happened – for the first time ever, eating healthy was simple. Seriously, it turned out to be the easiest thing I did all week. Why? Because everything was planned and prepped ahead. No last-minute takeout orders or resorting to a frozen pizza. And the stress about what's for dinner? Gone! It was such a relief to know that a healthy, ready-to-eat meal was waiting for me after a long day at work. Plus, I had extra time on my hands, and I wasn't wiped out by the end of the day. No more scrambling to figure out dinner, cook it, and then clean up. I saved all that time and energy by spending a bit of time on Sunday getting my meals ready. It was a total game-changer! I can hear you saying, "Tammy, this all sounds fantastic, but I'm still feeling a bit overwhelmed." And you know what? I totally get that. ❤️ Don't worry, I'm here to help. When you're just starting with meal prep, my number one tip is to begin with the recipe that would impact your week most if it were prepped in advance. Start right there. For instance, if breakfast always has you in a rush, why not prep some egg bites, oatmeal, or smoothie packs for the week? Or if lunches are always a struggle, then take some time and get mason jar salads ready for the week! ✅ Remember, you don't have to prep every single meal to reap the benefits of meal prepping. Just starting somewhere can make a huge difference. You might also wonder, "How do I know which recipes are good for prepping ahead?" Don't worry; I've got your back on this one too. One thing I've stood by since I began this journey over 10 years ago, and still swear by today, is this idea: If I can't prep a recipe ahead of time, then it's not for me. And you know what I discovered? Pretty much every recipe can be prepped ahead in some way or another. Over the past decade, this is what I've focused on sharing and teaching, and it's exactly why I created the Reset & Flourish Planner. ➡️ The Reset & Flourish Planner is packed with over 400 of the best meal and freezer prep recipes!
