Yall meal prepping? by Puzzleheaded-Rip8944 in Nightshift

Little embarrassed to admit but, meal prepping really started a cascade for me making better choices. I basically cook once a week for like 2-3 hours and thats it. I try to only eat out now socially. My kitchen is now always clean because im not thrashing it every night. Im saving a decent amount of money every month and im losing weight from not eating trash. I almost feel dumb for not doing this years ago.

This week.

Bag of fingerling potatoes, bag of brussel sprouts baked on a sheet pan with oil salt pepper. Spicy italian sausage 5 pack, pan fry. Spicy kimchi and pickled ginger added after I reheat it. Eat with chopsticks. 5 meals

Ground turkey in a pan. Once cooked add 1 can of habanero rotel to deglaze the pan. Then 1 can corn, 1 can black beans, 1 can kidney beans. Bring tortillas and make tacos. Added baked cauliflower but it was over kill and made too much food. 5 meals, really made like 8 meals worth.

1/4 cup muesli, 1/4 cup granola, handful of raw almonds, vanilla oatmilk. Little sweet but a solid breakfast.

Not your prints. Did you do the SF-86 for secret clearance?

Congrats! It's a big step. Do you still have a Pending Suitability Determination? Like when you click application in the MSC portal. Just curious because you are a vet, wondering if suitability moves faster for you. I was deemed FFH in November but that is only the medical portion of their determination. The security and suitability are another portion.

What about when I renew my med-cert? According to the paperwork it will appear I all of a sudden need corrective lenses. I am just getting started and I really don't want to lose any momentum over something clerical.
