No More Excuses.

Day in and day out I am disappointed with myself. I just want to look in the mirror one day and like what I see. Is that too much to ask?

Starting Weight: 156
healthylivingforyou: streetbutterfly: The proper activity done a few minutes before eating can encourage food calories to get shuttled into the muscle cells, before it has a chance to get stored as body fat. Increases insulin sensitivity and burns some extra calories. Air squats are the best option out there for a quick workout before meals. Read more about it in Tim Ferris’s book “4 hour body”. By rebloging this I accept this challenge, and I will do my best to accomplish it. Okay. But if anyone can squat exactly like that without a wall, I wanna see it. Haha. If you don’t bend over a little you’ll fall over because most of your body weight will be shifted towards your backside. Lol.

sweatsalty: How I Grocery Shop This is my master grocery list, which means that I always have these in my pantry/fridge. I have this list saved in my phone as a note, so that when I’m in the grocery store I run through it to check if I have it all at home.I usually buy my berries & seasonal produce at local farmer’s markets, they’re always fresher & sometimes cheaper. Also, I don’t really eat bread/grains/cereal unless it’s really good or I have no other option… I just don’t like it! What I buy all depends on season too. See seasonal chart here. Tips: Always go with a list! Shop the perimeter! This typically contains the produce, dairy, meat, deli, and frozen section. Inside the “perimeter” you are more likely to stray: the candy aisle, the juice/drinks aisle, and the snacks aisle are all bad places to buy the majority of your groceries Look for what is on sale & stock up if it’s non-perishable When choosing packaged produce, look at the “Use by” date and choose the longest. Check all fruits & veggies for bruises, scratches, & mold. Yuck! Buy frozen petite peas, berries (for smoothies or baking), and bell peppers. They’re always cheaper & there isn’t much difference. Try to not over-buy, know how long each fruit/veggie will last & don’t waste it! Because produce goes off so quickly I go grocery shopping 2+ times a week. This is usually what it takes to maintain a healthy lifestyle! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! There is a printable list here.
