Moral:
live your life full out
Don’t dwell on the small things
take responsibility for the life you have made for yourself
if there is something you don’t like about it- change it!
everything you say, do, or don’t do is a choice you are making every day
you have the power to chose your daily actions, activities, and thoughts
your time is as busy as you decide to make it
normally our time is not as busy as our mind is
that, too, is a choice
unless you are currently incarcerated- your day, time, thoughts, and all actions are all a daily choice
you don’t have to go to work, or have a big house
or have a house at all- some people live in boxes
you could survive in a box and not die
you don’t have to have nice clothes- or any clothes… some people chose to live in a nudist colony- it is a choice
you don’t have to pay your bills, or have electricity in your home
some people live without electricity, and not too long ago everyone lived without electricity
if you currently go to work, wear clothes, or pay your bills- it is because you decided to,
you chose this not because you HAD to or had no choice, in fact you had a choice, and did not want the alternative
all decisions we make- have a consequence
good and bad- which can be objective
if we break laws- we might be gambling- we may get caught- get a ticket, or go to jail
if we eat 20 donuts- there’s no gambling- it’s inevitable. We WILL consume the calories, and gain the weight
if we aim for our calorie budget, usually hitting it pretty close, drink our water, move a little more, and keep a good attitude-
we will be happy, we will lose weight, and we will improve our health
we make choices throughout our day that either hinder or help our weight loss goals
this week is all about pre-making some of those decisions before hand to make your life a little bit easier
YES- this week is all about food prep
I can’t tell you how many people I’ve talked to that say I would food prep- but I don’t have time
Or I tried it once and it took all day and it was horrible
or I would try it but I’m not that organized, or I don’t know how
and some of you have said- what the heck is food prep?
So let’s start with the basics- WHAT is food prep
Food Prep is preparing certain meals- into single ready to eat portions
Do you have to food prep every meal?
No- prep the meals you want to prep. I for example do not food prep dinner
Dinner is something I make every night, with the help of my instat-pot
I think I would go insane if I ate the same thing for dinner every night- but I prep everything else
Why is food prep popular?
3 reasons
1- saves time- you prepare a certain amount ahead of time and do not have to prepare it that way
2- you can think ahead about healthy foods and will cut down on impulse unhealthy choices
3- saves $- pack vs buy
bonus: It looks pretty lined up in mason jars or Tupperware and could inspire a great instagram or Pinterest or FB post
