Hey Reader,

We are officially one week post-Thanksgiving… which means if your house looks anything like mine, we’ve gone straight from turkey leftovers to full holiday chaos.

Think:
🎄 Daily Elf on the Shelf moves
🎄 Spirit week outfits in the school newsletter you swear you didn’t see
🎄 Cookie baking
🎄 Shopping
🎄 And doing everything in your power to make the season magical

It’s A LOT.

And because it’s a lot, December tends to become a holding pattern for anything that feels “extra”… like healthy habits, eating well, or keeping a meal prep routine going.

But I want to challenge you—gently—to stay committed to just one healthy habit you’ve built this year.

Not all of them.
Not perfectly.
Just one.

Maybe it’s:
✨ Eating breakfast every day
✨ Hitting your protein minimum
✨ Prepping lunch for the workweek
✨ Keeping water intake consistent

The goal here isn’t perfection—it’s continuity.

Because while everyone else is gearing up to “change their whole life” in January, you’ll already be moving into the new year with momentum… not starting from scratch. Scroll to the bottom of this email to see how I am helping you continue to crush your goals this holiday season!

This Week’s Semi-Homemade Meal Prep (Holiday Survival Edition)

December is not the month where I’m whipping up gourmet meals from scratch. I’m leaning hard into semi-homemade options to make life easier—and honestly? It’s been a game changer.

Here’s what I prepped this week:

🍳 Breakfast (37g protein!)

I kept it super simple:

• Prepped hard-boiled eggs
• Stocked up on 5 Ratio yogurts

Two eggs + one Ratio yogurt = 37g protein right out of the gate.
Fast, filling, and toddler-mom friendly.

🍽️ Lunch

This one is my current hyper-fixation (and yes, I’m dragging it into this week with zero shame):

• Trader Joe’s Spanish Microwaveable Rice- I split one box into 6 servings (~½ cup each)
• ​Sam’s Club Air-Fried Chicken Bites- These go viral every time I post them because they’re THAT good
• Roasted veggies- Peppers, onions, broccoli
• Salsa Verde on top- Adds flavor without heavy calories

It’s quick, high-protein, and honestly the perfect “I need lunch in 2 minutes before I hop into a meeting” option.
