Basics in your meal prep!!!

So I dont know about you, but seasoning is what makes or breaks my appetite! Meal prepping is an excellent way to stay on track and maintain a healthy and balanced caloric intake when you first make the decision to lose weight. This can be hard and lets face it, super duper boring too :/ these are super simple recipes that actutally make me look forward to eating a frozen meal I just pulled from my freezer to heat up. I have stuck to this when unwanted weight has reared its ugly head into my genes! okay and Jeans... haha that's my attempt at a joke!! and have seen amazing and fast results. Remember to laugh a little and get to prepping. One of the worse things you can do is stress and not do anything about getting your health on track. This is not an overnight fix so please rememeber to do your best and know you did! then go ahead and sleep and repeat.
