Intense 365 Month 4: Be Prepared (Food Prep)
As I spoke about previously, I was running into a wall with my other month’s challenges.
A chip slip soon turned into drive-thru damnation and ended in an innocent enough sandwich and talk of a cookie.
What the hell happened here?
This sentence was repeated as I stepped on the scale last Sunday.
Action needs to be taken, but like, which?
Searching through space and time, I recounted the last time my hand was forearm deep into a bag of chips, why?
I was stressed out.
I was trying to stay up late.
I was working on a lot of content.
These things stress me out, and when I have to work on the computer for an extended period, this can sometimes be the result.
Another factoid was I would open my cabinet, and I didn’t OWN anything but tea and some Trader Joes Coconut chips (not actual chips).
How in the hell am I supposed to avoid all the trappings of convenience if I have no food?
I’m no magician, I can’t pull a rabbit stew out of a hat (sorry vegans).
Salads with chopped cucumber and seared asparagus don’t just “appear” I gotta get the food, and then I gotta do something with it… like,
Wash it.
Cut it.
Cook it.
For me, this feels a bit like bringing it back to basics, but this is also the point of #INTENSE365 if something isn’t quite clicking this is the way you figure it out and change it up for overall success so.
This month’s challenge is:
Food Prep for at least 1-hour 2x’s a week.
This is the type of party that doesn’t start to you get here.
If you showed up today you are right on time.
Figure out what I’m yammering about and catch up on my journey below with some tips along the way.
Read up , but remember you can do what you need for YOUR journey.
Always Intense
Always Marika
I realized that I no longer needed the same amount of comfort I did in April of 2020.
