So my hubby and I have been in a mega state of transition the past couple of months. Let me paint a picture for you::
He came home from a 7 month deployment
We renovated for a week straight (after spending only one day together)
Listed our home for sale- under contract in 3 days.
Traveled for about 2.5 weeks+ to see family
House contract fell through
Hubby left for another month on the day our AC broke (womp womp- typical murphy's law)
I showed house alone (with two giant pups) for 3 weeks before getting another contract on it
Hubby came home and we packed/moved out in a week
whirlwind..--> PHEW. glad that's over!
welllllll almost.
We then moved into a hotel room where we are currently residing for 27 days, while my hubby completes a month long, strenuous & extremely time consuming work process; however, it's over next Wednesday and we get to FINALLY move to the sunshine state.
#hallelujah
We have been waiting 6 years for the chance to be closer to my family, soak up some beach rays and just relax down south for a few years of deployment-free bliss!
Reminding myself of ^^^ makes this temporary madness all worth it. Plus, I know that one day, these will be stories we share with laughter and maybe a fond memory or two. Oh and honey, there's no one I would rather be doing this all with {insert smoochey face here}.
In the mean time, it's mega entertaining for people to partake in our shenanigans. SO, today I bring you a food prepping sneak peek from my teenie weenie kitchen.
Here's what I've decided is totally doable with two baby burners, one microwave, a couple of super sticky pans & one whacked out spatula!
Breakfasts:
Shakeology /or/ coconut greek yogurt + granola
Lunch:
Shakeology /or/ plain greek yogurt tuna salad with sliced peppers /or/ pre-assembled green salads
Dinner:
Quinoa // Turkey Sausages // Chicken Burgers // Sweet Potatoes // sautéed kale // zucchini + onion stir-fry // steamed broccoli
Snacks:
cubed pineapple /or/ hard boiled eggs /or/ sliced peppers
Not too shabby, right?
I also snagged strawberries, nectarines, cheese sticks, unsweetened almond milk, fig newtons, KIND bars, granola, pop chips, wheat thins & frozen yogurt + chocolate covered pretzels.
All things considered, we have pretty darn healthy choices for a whole week with a few tasty treats thrown in the mix. And this whole order took me about an hour (had to wash pans in between uses!).
Btw, I spent like $7 on baggies + minimal tupperware to use for our month here.

I hope this inspires you to stay health & grounded in your routine while you're on the go. Hotel living isn't always easy and it's certainly not the most convenient. BUT -> It's totally possible if your goals are important to you!

Let me share with you the food guide that rocked my nutritional world.
If you've never heard of shakeology before & want to know why I love to drink it every.single.day for breakfast or lunch, check out my experience HERE.
For all you beachbody lovers out there:: yes, everything prepped above is 21 Day Fix approved!
Can't believe I cooked in this kitchen for the last time. Time for a mini glass of wine to celebrate :)
Cheers!
