Day 3: The New Sunday Funday

In a not-so-distant past, Sundays were for brunching and boozing. Unlimited mimosas? Why not! A quick afternoon dance party with my favorite people? Yes please. Sunday Fundays were FUNNNNN, and while I still love a good Sunday Funday here and there, the reality was that Monday was generally a double struggle. 1. You are already dealing with the fact that you are at work and not twirling about town, but on top of that, 2. you are HUNGOVER! When I started grad school last year, I went from having two days to leisurely recover from the work week, to one. Sunday Fundays all of a sudden didn't seem so fun anymore.

Lately, my Sundays are looking MUCH different, and I'm ok with that. I generally try to go for a run outside (high five for #livingwhereyouvacation) in the am, and then run errands, get my life together, and work on homework the rest of the day. The biggest thing I try to do on Sundays, to set me up for success for the rest of the week, is to meal prep. I try to pick a few meals that I can eat for lunch and dinner throughout the week. This allows for me to stay on track of eating healthy, and it also forces me to plan out my meals in advance. I just got a new planner from Erin Condren, who I LOVE, and added a dry erase wellness planner, check it out below. While things will come up here and there throughout the week, this wellness planner will also help me to stay on track of my fitness activities and makes me think about any meetings/events/activities I have in the evenings.

My meals for the week:

1: Cobb Salad (I made the bacon and hard boiled eggs tonight)

2: Spaghetti Squash with Turkey Pesto Meatballs (I made the pesto tonight)

3: Black bean patties w/Guacamole and Mango/Sundried Tomato relish

Not only did I do the MOST with meal prepping this evening, but my apartment is free of any remaining articles of Navidad, which is kind of sad, but at the same time, it makes me feel like I am going into the work week, and new year, so fresh and so clean. Sorry, I'm listening to the Pandora Aaliyah radio station as I type this.....
