As another week has come and gone, I have my meal plan sitting on
my fridge ready to go. I tried two
new recipes this week. A goal of mine is to try at least on new recipe each
week. That is why meal planning is so
important. I know some people think I'm
crazy when they see how planned out my weeks are as far as food, but it saves
me so much time throughout the week when I do this! I don't have to worry about standing in front
of the open pantry or refrigerator wondering what it is I want to eat. That is when you make those bad choices! For me, I prepare and portion all of my
snacks, clean my fruit, cup up my veggies, and have everything at eye level in
the refrigerator and/or pantry.
Why? Well because things at eye
level are more than likely to be "grabbed" when you are hungry and in
a rush to eat. Another reason why is
because even though I eat as clean as I can, there are still food choices in my
house that I know I shouldn't eat. They
aren't terrible, just some snacks for my husband
So, here is my meal plan from the past week! At no point throughout the week did I
guess on what I want to snack on, or what I want to make for dinner. EVERYONE eats the same dinner at my
house. I started planning out my meals
this summer. It took me a little longer
at first (maybe 45 minutes); however, now that I have a collection of recipes
and snacks that I like to eat, the process only takes about 15 to 20 minutes
each week. I'm a creature of habit and
do like to eat similar things each day, plus, it saves me some money because I
can buy in bulk.
That is actually a
question that I get quite frequently..."Isn't it expensive to eat that
way?" My answer, NO! In fact, we
have saved money on our weekly groceries!
I'm not buying a lot of processed food and I'm flavoring my dinners with
herbs and spices. In addition, I'm
pre-portioning out my snacks, so, a bag of almonds actually lasts me quite a
while now!
As for the best part
of my meal plan, Shakeology of course! I
love that I have a meal that is not only delicious, but that is quick to make,
healthy to drink, and gives me my energy and curbed cravings that I need
throughout the day. A recent survey has
been released about Shakeology. This
shows just how effective Shakeology is.
It is not filled with hidden ingredients and additives. It is an all natural shake that you can
consciously drink, knowing that it is providing you with your daily dose of
nutrients.
Many people hesitate to try Shakeology because they don't
want to invest in a month supply, even though there is a money back
guarantee. So, I decided to purchase a
box of individual packets to sell for people who maybe just want to give it a
try for a few days. There is also a
GREAT 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse if you are looking to lose weight quickly but in
a healthy way. I'm thinking of doing
another 3 Day Cleanse next week so if you are interested and want to give it a
try with me, message or email me!
Overall, things are going pretty well here. My big goal is to consistently stick with my
healthy lifestyle so that I don't over indulge throughout the holiday season,
which is so easy to do! If motivation,
support, and accountability are something that you need to help you get through
the holiday season, contact me about joining my Holiday Survival Guide Group
beginning Monday, December 2nd.
Don't think that you won't be able to enjoy the holidays. I will help you create a healthy balance
between making good choices and still being able to indulge in your favorite
holiday treats!
Let's start the next week off right!
