JANUARY 30, 2014

We don’t want to make our families miserable with bland meals, boring snacks, and not enough food in the house. Part of my motivation was that I’m hosting this challenge. The Goal of the Grocery Budget Challenge is to be creative with our meal planning and grocery shopping so that we aren’t over-spending.

Make it a habit to incorporate at least 5 different coloured foods a day into your diet. For a mid day snack, grab an orange or an apple. You control the ingredients that go into the dishes that you make. This keeps you from getting bored and keeps you motivated to eat well. Start a container garden.

Think of it as a lifestyle change – to lose weight and keep it off, you need to increase the amount of exercise that you do and make sure that you’re burning more calories than you’re consuming. Where possible, swap sugary foods for fruit, raw vegetables and other snacks that won’t lead to weight gain. Stock up on whole grains.

It also makes it hard to snack at work since I don’t want to eat since it smells. The snacking during the day on veggies and protein has helped me lose the most weight when I am consistent with it. I used to not eat breakfast or snacks very much. I need to get back on the lunch track.

I bring food to work at the beginning of the week and can snack on it as the week progresses. These are all powerfuels or free veggies on Nutrisystem and makes it so I always reach for the right thing! It’s so tempting to make the wrong choice at those times! I need to also work on my water consumption at work.

So the idea of starting to work out to lose weight did not motivate me, but after the initial cleanse helped me lose some weight, I was motivated to change the way I eat to lose weight. I needed to find healthier versions of those foods to make smarter choices when I was eating. If I’m craving chocolate, I have a piece.

Lots of us make new-year’s resolutions but few of us succeed in obtaining those goals. Many don’t consider this when making resolutions. The positive feedback from small, daily successes will create motivation and – eventually – lead to lasting, balanced change. So Balance Bar Company is helping.

I wanted to rid myself of all the toxins I had been consuming, plus it was a great way to get myself use to limiting calories, eating healthier snacks, etc. Then make a shake and take 1-2 ounces of Ningxia Red for your meal. If I got hungry between meals, I would eat a healthy snack (almonds, fruit, veggies).

Now we had yet another payment to add to the mix, and I honestly didn’t know how I was going to make it all work. I started my YouTube channel, not with the expectation of making money, but this has also provided a small monthly revenue. If you can make it from scratch rather than buying it – do it.
