Not a question -> I hate when I go to the grocery store...

...and only buy healthy food, and have to actually cook the food, versus popping something in the microwave. I've been hungry for the past hour. I've eaten a handful of cereal and some fruit. I'm getting a headache from lack of food so I guess I better go cook something but I just don't feel like it. How lazy and pathetic am I right now...😶

Yeeeep. That's an issue, alright. That's why I think meal prep is so important to healthy eating. I do a lot of cooking on the weekend and then store all the food in the freezer, that way I can just grab one and throw it in the microwave, instead of having to make something from scratch every single day.

It can be done in an hour or two, on the weekend: cooking ebough meals for the week ahead. Though, the first few times it'll likely take longer. Unless you focus specifically on easily cooked meals.

@Tatsumi very true. And I'm kindof new at healthy eating anyway. Trying to slowly get away from jarred and canned stuff. I do have a few microwave meals but I do them for work. I have the makings for a sandwhich but I just don't want it. I sometimes make stuff and make enough for a few days. I need to always search online for recipes. I get so burned out.

@iamnikki Yeah. It's easy to get lazy with it, especially when you're first starting out. But, if you keep it going for two-four weeks, it will just become a habit: part of your lifestyle. ^^ Keep up the good work!
