I am usually so thrilled that it’s the weekend so that I can catch up on errands and much needed sleep with hope to try and redeem the little social life we have left. By the time Monday rolls around again, I feel “unprepared”.
Lately I’ve been trying to enforce meal planning Sunday night. I know myself; I can’t wake up early enough to eat a healthy and balanced breakfast (the most important meal of the day) before work, so I try to make some easy-to-grab items that still keep me full through lunch. Like this banana nut bread that I substituted applesauce and Fage Greek yogurt instead of sugar and cream cheese. Turned out delicious. Add a hard-boiled egg, slice of Morbier cheese and a handful of mixed berries and a steaming-hot green tea and you’ve got yourself “balanced”.

I also try to make a meal-plan and print out any recipes I might need. This has been a big help in time management. P.S. Don’t go to the grocery store hungry! If you’ve got a list (and a full stomach) you’ll be just fine!

I always buy flowers on Sunday so they can keep us smiling all week long. There’s no doubt these beauties are instant mood-lifters! Whole Foods was having a sale on their organic tulips. I went red this week!
{Subconscious heart awareness? Woo!}
What do you do to prepare for the week? Any tricks of the trade you would like to share with all of us busy women?
