Smiple Meal Prep Idea #1

Rotisserie Chicken (or whatever protien you want to use) – Where I live the bigger chickens come from Costco ($5.99) and Whole Foods ($8.99).

Noodles(or Grains)- I am currently using Soba (そば or 蕎麦, “buckwheat”). They are Japanese noodles made primarily from buckwheat flour, with a small amount of wheat flour mixed in. I get mines from Weee! an online US Asian Market (www.sayweee.com) *Not sponsored*

Veggies – There are days I just toss in can/frozen veggies into the water that I am boiling the noodles in. I keep bags of Frozen Mixed Vegetables. Some days, I use kim chi or any pickle veggies I have on hand.

Chopped Green onions – Tip: You can chop them and place them in the frezzer to take them out when you need. You can also regrow the ends by placing them in water and changing the water every 24 hours.

Dipping broth: Soba/Whatever borth you like. I buy mines but it’s really easy to make. Here is a very smiple recipe: https://www.kurumicooks.co.uk/recipes-23/soba-broth

Cook your noodles/grains to your instrutions. Then ice/cold water bath them. Take them out. If you plan to storge them in the fridge, sprinkle them with some sessme/peanut oil.

Overplanning = Anxiety

A thought. Sometimes when you are told things, they are just thoughts that you put into your back pocket till you realize that you are now at the point of your live where you can apply it where it makes sense.

My assertive over planning is my Anxiety acting up. I been doing this since I was young, when people told me that planning is ok and normal, it was normalized to me exp now I realize mine is acessive compared to what a health “normalized” planning is.

Overplanning can be a side effect of an anxiety disorder that developed in early life. This need for control is often a survival mechanism for those who had unstable childhoods. Although this behavior may have served its purpose in the past, overplanning can be detrimental in adulthood.

Workout

There are different types of workouts that will work with PCOS. I used to be pyhically active but I wasn’t doing the type of workouts that works with PCOS, was always confused why my body wasn’t responding to it.

Pilates: Mat + Reformer
Mat Pilates: I have an online Mat Pilates class but I realize I don’t do well with online classes
Reformer Pilates: I found some group classes that I want to try. I’m looking for easy/beginners/light classes till my body gets stronger.

YouTube video:
10-15 min walking videos

PCOS

Learning to get my PCOS under control. There are so much information about it out there but there is also so much information that is telling you really nothing or covers for fad diets.
