First Week Ready, Set, Go!

This first week I just want to make sure everyone has what they need to get started.  I will be giving you a basic grocery list, you can make it work according to your taste.  Add any herbs, or spices that add flavor.  Also, take this first week to get organized and prepared and ask any questions you have.


Here are a few things that have helped me:
1. Clean out your fridge.  If it's clean and organized it's easier to find the foods you need that aren't trapped behind outdated or left over foods.
2. Prepare a menu  and shopping list for the week make it healthy and family friendly.
Your more likely to stick to a nutrition plan if it's foods that you can eat with your family, so you aren't doing double duty making 10 meals a day.  For example if you make taco's or hamburgers to cut down on fat, trying using turkey burger.  Make sure your daily meals include 3 meals and 2 snacks. I will give examples in another blog post during this next week.
3. Go grocery shopping
4. If you know you are going to have a hectic week, plan ahead and make meals for several days in advance, that way you if you are running errands and find yourself starving you won't find yourself munching on your kids french fries from their kids meals haha, you will have something like delicious turkey sandwich and veggies with you.  Also, buy any containers you may need and put individual servings in them so they are easy to grab and go.
5.  Buy a notebook or journal to track your fitness and nutrition.  See how great your progress is.
6. Start setting goals.  Be positive and realistic!  Set them knowing you will accomplish them.  If you are a visual person you can make a page or pages in your notebook/journal with positive quotes or pictures.  Anything that helps. I can't wait to see how you all do!
