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.

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.

If you are going by the BMI scale to judge if you are overweight you should know that it is incredibly skewed. Dont worry about your weight because you are beautiful.

I know the BMI scale is not entirely acurate, since peope have differing aspects about themselves, but it’s still something to go by. I know at the weight and the size I am for my height I’m considered unhealthy and I honestly don’t like the way I look. I want to be healthy for once in my life. Is that so much to ask?
