What's in YOUR Cooler??

So, it is Sunday night... went to Central Market yesterday and Wal-Mart today, usual groceries and stuff...
Now that I have all of this food, what's next?
1.Plan
2. Cook
3. Bag it
4. Pack it
5. Eat it

Tonight we will grill chicken and bag it, so it is ready to go. Brushed with some olive oil and Mrs. Dash... also will make some pumpkin muscle muffins.

Sample of this weeks menu:

Monday

Breakfast- protein pancake--- eat em everyday and some coffee
Snack-apple and some almonds--- always keep a can of raw, unsalted almonds in my desk
Lunch- grilled chicken and sweet potato
snack- 3 muscle muffins
Dinner-grilled something, chicken, fish or steak... grilled veggies, and a salad- I limit starch to earlier in the day... not at dinner
Late Snack if needed- protein shake

LOTS of water and herbal tea!

So, to make the plan work, you have to pre-plan... so you can grab it and take it to work.
Then you have to remember to eat it :)

Tosca has some great tips on how to pack a cooler... my cooler is very strict right now... since I am trying to break some bad habits from the holidays.

I have considered teaching a cooler class... let me know if anyone is interested!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!
