Day Twenty-Seven

I worked the morning shift again on Day Twenty-Seven, so I had prepped and packed my lunch the night before. For anyone who works mornings or a more consistent 9-5 job, I highly recommend getting in the habit of prepping and packing your next day's lunch the night before while you are already in the kitchen making dinner. The feeling of never ending shopping, prepping, cooking and cleaning up is something that many people struggle to overcome when they are adapting to a more wholesome diet. Setting yourself up for success can make this transition so much easier, and having the right tools for the job is very important. I'll be doing a post about where to get started with some tips and tricks soon!

Breakfast: Banana with Scrambled Eggs and Sausage
Lunch: Spinach, Tomato and Chicken Salad with Sunflower Seeds, Strawberries, Carrots with Guac
Snack: Homemade LaraBar
Dinner: Chipotle Steak Salad with Sautéed Onions and Peppers and Salsa Verde
Snack: Smoothie of Spinach, Mixed Berries, Banana, Almond Milk and Cranberry Juice

We jumped in the car and made an impromptu trip back to our hometown basically as soon as I got off work. I decided to grab Chipotle on my way to pick Jason up, because he had just eaten a few hours prior and I didn't want to have to stop on our drive. I had already read up previously on Chipotle menu items that were compliant, so this was a helpful quick option. I'm adding "Approved Fast-food" as a topic for future discussion. After arriving about 3 hours later, we visited with his mom, sister and aunt prior to heading to my mom's where we stayed for the night.
