Planning and preparing snacks was the hardest part for me. Ava was 14 months old, Brooks was 3 and I was in Miami without Justin half of the time. I was running 3 miles 3 times a week - with the kids in the jogger and trying to stay as active as possible so I didn't lose my mind! During my second challenge, I learned how to prepare snacks on the go. I had a cooler for the kids with their milk, juice, and snacks - so why not add myself in there too?
I packed baggies of...
broccoli
carrots,
apples
strawberries
raw cashews
Lara Bars
turkey jerkey
oranges
boiled eggs
turkey or chicken breast
I found that when I packed my cooler and planned for the times in the day when I feel hunger hit me - I would be more successful with no cheating. I gave myself a rule of snacking only on fruit, veggies, and nuts. Sometimes I add almond butter with my fruits, and hummus with my veggies. Be prepared for you snacks and this will be much easier!
