I am a big believer in being PREPARED!!! Be prepared to succeed or you are setting yourself up for failure!!! So I usually take my weekends, mainly Sunday evenings, to prepare to succeed with my meals the following week! I prep everything from chicken, to sweet potatoes, to brown rice, to fish, to broccoli. You get the picture!! I have found that if I have something ready to go I am much more likely to reach for that than stopping at a fast food place or grabbing a sugary snack!!
Here is a great example of how one lady prepares for the week!! For more information and a grocery list you can check it out here: http://www.beachbody.com/beachbodyblog/nutrition/meal-prep-monday-week-5
