5/3/2021 – Learn more about Plan Prep Pack Plate; and me, Alexis
Let’s talk about resetting and restarting life. It’s scary and invigorating. It’s fulfilling and unsteady. It forces us to face our truth, and tests us to find our authentic self.
A few months ago, I left a place that I thought was comforting and secure, after experiencing a betrayal that rocked my already lacking ability to trust and made me question my self-worth. I took the time to start the work (because let’s be honest, the work is never done) to find my way back to the person I want to be and lost along the way, hopefully a bit more aware than before.
I created Plan Prep Pack Plate as a vehicle to help others, because I find my purest joy and calm when making others lives easier in some way, shape or form. Meal planning and food prep is one of the tangible ways I helped myself and can now help someone or a family save time and money cooking at home, and creating memories around the table, whether a quiet Tuesday night at home or a weekend BBQ with friends and family.
I began meal planning and food prep because I needed structure to stick to my budget and make consistent healthy food choices after a few years of working crazy hours, and eating too much restaurant take out at my desk. My journey and commitment to meal planning helped me create weekly menus, shopping lists and kept me accountable to make the appropriate and long-lasting changes.
Shockingly, it worked! Five years later, what I used to consider big and unattainable changes are now just how I live my life. That includes: preparing and cooking all meals and snacks; eating a restaurant meal no more than two times a month; no longer drinking soda more than five to six times a year vs. daily soda intake, being active 60-90 minutes a day and increasing my hydration.
My journey has been a roller coaster of success and road blocks; of loyalty and disappointment; balance and extremes. I don’t expect that will change. But, how I approach each situation and challenge or goal and my desired outcome is shifting. I am in control of what I do, and I have the tools to help me get back on track when I fall off the path. I now understand and embrace that I love harder than most, that I care more than I should in many situations, and that sometimes you have to embrace the fear and find a way to overcome it, so that you can face your next test.
