Meal prep sadness... all the pre-cut / pre made convenience foods I bought at Walmart went bad before the expiration date... gag. Kind of mad about it so I am taking them back tonight.
Dad is still not talking to me. It's been since Wednesday. All I did was say I wouldn't drop him off 6 blocks way when he hasn't walked home from Carls Jr before and ask him to wait till Saturday or Sunday so we could do it together. I'm not going to try biking home from work without a support plan. Geez.

Augh. Trying to sign up for life and disability insurance separate from my employer. Turns out the price is weight-based. What a bummer. And motivation. Maybe I'll just renew my damn Costco membership... They have way better single serving lunch items and they stay fresher.

i wouldn't worry about dad, it'll blow over it sounds like a small argument and nothing major?
sorry you forgot to weigh - you can make up for it tomorrow !
Have all meals prepped for the week, largely due to the massive prep I did last weekend so I get to be frugal even though I have a cold.
Online shrink helped me restructure my todoist.com to do list in a way that I can segment and prioritize, which was actually really helpful.
Parents got to borrow my car yesterday, which really helped them get stuff done, except they still need to pay a utillity bill, but they say they can take a bus when it stops raining wednesday. I might Lyft tomorrow so they can have my car.
All in all, looking forward to a productive week.

I am really enjoying doing prep too! I am using my oven now, didn't use it for literally THREE (almost FOUR) YEARS. I was afraid of it since i hadn't used it growing up by myself...i was dumb not to try it sooner! wow!
Ovens are spectacular wow....i am going to be cooking much more now!
i just bought eggs too. decent price on sale at $1.50. I will use dollar store eggs though - down the road when they're available...$1 for eggs is GREAT! :) gym friend suggested i do that :-D
Being frugal can be fun when you see your checking account increase instead of decrease quickly each week!...better at the end of the month after i pay rent and there's still some money left over!!

Yeah, with all the cash I've been spending getting organized I am going to hate doing my bill review this month. Ouch.
Have a big fat cold and cranky. Dog is sick too. She will have to tough it out since I can't drive her. Poor pup.
I need hugs, but did not feel well enough to go 2 hours to SD to get them. High fever.

Sorry you are sick...i get very cranky when sick also ...it pisses me off so badly!
Get some EXTRA REST!

Gourmet!
Stayed up a bit late last night, but the freezer has been tackled. I had somehow accrued an unreasonable proportional amount of frozen food, so it was good to get it all broken down into meals I can grab and go. Surprisingly, all I had to add to make it work was a box of super food pasta and a can of healthy refried beans. I made burrito bowls, meatball/pasta bowls, brocolli cheddar bakes with the super good fake mac n cheese sauce from volumetrics, "wet" burrito plates, and some chicken nugget meals. I don't have to do meal prep again next week... or even go food shopping!
I will conquer! Especially since I went to REI last night to find out why my lighter doesn't work and left with yoga pants and compression sacks as well. Cannot afford to go out to eat at all. I have been trying to fix my time thieves so I can focus and that is getting expensive.
Need to figure out the calories for the prepped meals before I go food shopping again... But I have a couple of weeks. Maybe I will start a blog. I am not happy with any of the meal prep sites and how they present information.
Come to think of it, there is a habit tracker app I could build too.
Ah, time.

Forgot to weigh myself.

Sorry about the fights with your 'rents !
Nice job on the freezer, i also have stuff that sits there for months and months! It's a good way to use items you already bought before buying other stuff..i should do this too - or simply throw out some of the freezer food - i should check the expiration dates LOL!
I do love Volumetrics too..that's how i live my own life!..how i plan a TON of my meals. Filling up on veggies always at my work lunches unless i am not in the mood (like when i have my period, not as much in mood for loads of veggies as i'm already bloated up!)
Lately i do not do kombucha anymore bc too expensive....so i mix ACV into seltzer and add stevia...
OH OF COURSE... You go to meet up with your remote team at a cafe for some coworking and they see a big group of hungry skinny gamer dudes... so they start bringing out MASSIVE PLATTERS OF FREE DESSERT.
Luckily no oranges, pistachios, or dark bitter chocolate. Or turkish coffee. I'm safe.
Dammit. Now I want dessert.

Was up till 1:30am last night and had 4 fights with my parents while doing it... but I have 15 meals and 5 snack trays/5 drinks completely setup and packed for the week and they all fit perfectly in the new meal prep bag. I even have almost all my extra ingredients down to a single Rubbermaid shallow potluck container... So my parents can't complain that I am storing extra food in the fridge!
This may not sound like much, but I really have come a long way this past year in terms of organization and preparation. Really need to thank the online shrink for that.
My food shopping goal is to only buy fresh ingredients for 1 family meal and meal prep stuff. Nothing extra. Since I am the queen of impulse shopping, this is HUGE.
Tonight, I conquer the freezer.

Oh and also... Forgot to weigh in this morning. Feeling pretty happy in my new HM shirt that's only an XL.
Not happy with the habit tracker app I am using. Doesn't let you differentiate between weekdays and weekends. Have to keep looking... or build one?
Also not happy with my to do list app. It is too easy to move stuff around and accidentally delete stuff.

Had an "I don't wanna work on saturday" procrastination session. Spent all day getting my personal stuff done and not getting work work done.
