A Plea to Thee

There are days, almost every day, I feel like people try so hard to jump on any quick fix to lose weight; Atkins diet, the South Beach diet, the Mega Green Tea pill, HCG shot - Really, hormones to lose weight? What?, the Ally pill (I tried it), the shake weights (Yeah, I have one! Silly, right?!), the ANYTHING OTHER THAN WORKING OUT and EATING CLEAN PLAN!

Really...I realize people struggle because believe me I have been there. I am still there!! I struggle every day to stay on track and do what is healthiest for my body & my mind. But before you think of taking another quick fix pill or some silly fad you see on an infomercial for $19.95...please ASK me for help! I LOVE helping people do things they never thought they could do. It brings me joy to watch their lives change with every small step they take towards their health goals.

Beachbody's products are LEGIT. They are the REAL DEAL. Shakeology has CHANGED my life. It has given me more energy, the best nutrition I can put in my body, and I feel fantastic. It's also given me clear skin, regularity, stopped the heartburn and so much more! ChaLEAN Extreme, Power90, Rockin' Body, Insanity, P90X are AMAZING, legit programs! All you have to do is push play every day and do your absolute best and you'll get results!

They are NOT too expensive! Look at how much money is wasted with these 'quick fixes' and yet you keep trying them over and over and over again...and NOT getting healthy or results that last! Beachbody programs and Shakeology work and therefore SAVE you money! So instead of continuously spending money on fake ways to lose weight, why don't you invest it in something that really works and will make you HEALTHY?

My husband and I just finished our Power90 program over the weekend (10/6/12) and I'll share our result photos so you can see for yourself that it's REAL --

I lost 11 inches off my entire body! 

He lost his spare tire and now has abs!

Who is ready to start trusting me and start stepping outside their comfort zones to see changes? I do monthly challenge groups because they work! I am always looking for teammates! Message me here or comment on my blog and let's start a conversation. That is it. Let's talk. I have helped many people lose weight and feel good about themselves. WHY NOT YOU? Comment and say ME! NOW is your time!

Do You Think Eating Clean is Expensive?

Eating healthy can be expensive if you are not catching sales or buying in bulk. Shopping at specialty stores is even more expensive because prices are typically much higher than a regular supermarket. Even if you do tend to spend a little more for your healthy food, isn't it worth it because it is for your health? I say yes! 

There are ways to save money on your clean eating foods as long as you avoid the pitfalls that can occur with switching to a healthy diet.

Clip Coupons: 
Time consuming maybe, but well worth it to save you money on the foods you eat all the time. Try to stay away from the processed foods in the isles, but you can find money saving coupons for healthier options. You just need to know where to look and what to look for.

Shop Your Cupboards:
Make a list of the supplies and ingredients you already have in your fridge, freezer and cupboards. Make a menu plan around those items and then buy only what you need fresh.

Buy Foods in Bulk:
Eating clean usually involves eating the same types of food on a regular basis. Lean meats, vegetables, fruit, whole grains and more are usually the types of foods that you will find yourself eating over and over. Since this may be the case for you, you can save more money buy shopping at bulk food stores like Costco.

Don't Buy Organic:
Unless you prefer organic foods, you don't necessarily have to purchase them. Foods which are labeled organic tend to cost a little more than their regular versions. If you're on a budget, cutting out organic foods may save you some cash.

Better yet; Grow your own organic foods! Healthy & Cheap.

Eat The Same Meals Regularly:
Most clean eating meals tend to be simple but you can keep it even simpler by rotating the same meals week after week. This can be boring for some but if you don't mind eating the same meals several times a week, then you can save money because you are not having to buy extra ingredients for more complex recipes.

Those are just a few tips to save money on your clean eating shopping list.
