The Trucker's family

Our Weekend Routine

Our time together is very short and precious. My Trucker comes home early Friday afternoon and leaves home at 11 am on Sunday. You see, it's not even 2 days at home. We need to squeeze in some family time, some our time, some entertainment, some time to do his workouts. But most importantly, we need to prepare everything for his following work week. Oh yes, he needs to catch up with his sleep after working different times of the day during the week. So as strange as it is, we relax on Friday night and do most of our work Saturday night. It used to be very demanding but by now we worked out all the details and work together to prepare.

I will start with his menu for the week. it takes about 4-5 hours and I integrate it into my weekend cooking so the time is not more than it is necessary.  He cuts the fruit and vegetables for the green drink, my son makes the cottage cheese delight mix, and other small tasks, I make the soup, spinach and the yogurt and the blending. So it is a true team work.

What he takes:

Soup - 1 for every day - cold fruit soup or cabbage and vegetable soup or pea soup

Yogurt - 1 for every day - home made, with blueberries

Cooked spinach with 2 eggs - 3 portions

Cottage cheese blend - 4 x 500 ml container

Green drink - 4 small bottles

Salad mix - one for every day

Mini carrots to munch on

Cooked eggs - 6

Cheese portions - 6

He buys 3 different apples about 10 each with a small container of grapes or strawberries for the road.

He fills up his pill case with vitamins and supplements.

He keeps his canned of tuna and sardines in the truck.
There is a small container of nuts beside him in the truck as well as some gums.

He keeps some protein bars and small bits of dark chocolate there too.

He takes at least 12 bottles of 500 ml water with him to drink.
2 liters of tap water to rinse the containers. (We reuse the food containers)
