The Practical Prep

The Practical Prep I help busy people stay healthy with meal prep and Whole30 coaching.

02/16/2026

I was caught in a cycle.

Monday-Thursday I had to be perfect.

Calorie deficit.
Eating clean.
Workout 5x a week.
10k steps a day.
Meal prep on Sunday.
Healthy dinners every night.
Saying no to everything.

And then real life would happen.

One slip up, and I would feel like a failure. My perfect week would come crashing down.

I was hungry.
I was tired.
I didn’t want to cook after coming home late from work.
Takeout felt easier.
A glass of wine felt deserved.
My friends would want to go out and I didn’t want to be the “boring” one.

So I would say, “I’ll start again Monday.”

And the weekend turns into pizza and cocktails and guilt.

By Sunday I felt frustrated.
I felt uncomfortable.
I felt behind.

So I would decide this week will be different.
I would go to the store.
I’d get vegetables, chicken breast and greek yogurt.
Full reset.

And the cycle continues.

Here’s the hard truth:

It’s not that you lack discipline.

It’s that your plan only works when life is perfect.

And life is never perfect.

If your strategy requires perfection to succeed, it will always fail by Friday.

You don’t need a stricter reset.

You need a system that works when real life happens.

If this cycle feels familiar, comment “ME” and I’ll send you what I recommend doing instead.

You’re not lazy.
You’re stuck in a cycle.

Monday–Thursday you try to be “good.”

Calorie deficit.
Eating clean.
Workout 5x a week.
10k steps a day.
Meal prep on Sunday.
Healthy dinners every night.
Saying no to everything.

And then real life happens.

One off-plan meal and suddenly it feels like the whole week is ruined.

You’re starving.
You’re tired.
You don’t want to cook.
Takeout feels easier.
A glass of wine sounds deserved.
Your friends want to go out and you don’t want to be the “boring” one.

So you say, “I’ll start again Monday.”

And the weekend turns into pizza and cocktails and guilt.

By Sunday you feel frustrated.
You feel uncomfortable.
You feel behind.

If your strategy requires perfection to succeed, it will always fail by Friday.

You don’t need a stricter reset.

You need something that works when real life happens.

I used to always tell myself- *this* is the week I’m going to eat healthy. This is the week I’m going to get my s**t together. But then I’d get so overwhelmed with all of the work it takes...

Thinking of what to cook each week, searching for recipes, making a grocery list, inevitably forgetting an item or two on said grocery list… and then you actually have to cook it all and clean up after.

It’s too much work. I would get so mad at myself that I let another week go by and I’d be nowhere closer to achieving my health goals.

I wished someone could just come and do it all for me. But I couldn’t afford that. So I created the next best thing…
