New year post on food, health, happiness, consistency, cost efficiency, and progress.
•You can eat healthy and clean for cheap
•do it to be healthy not because you hate your body
•if you hate your body make it your number one goal to love it no matter the phase it’s in.
•start small, think big. Don’t get lofty with goals that arent sustainable. Add 5% more as your goal and keep it going from there.
•it’s more mind over matter for goals. Keep your head out of the gutters of negative thinking.
•have fun with allll the spices when you start clean eating.
•make clean eating simple.
• make a small goal for fitness and increase over time.
This organic whole food meal total cost for 3 people with left overs- is roughly $15-18. That’s about $4.50 per person. The chicken being the brunt of it, which is one reason I do a plant based diet overall.
I have never liked cooking and if it isn’t easy I won’t do it. If it’s not tasty I have a bad habit of wanting processed food. So I’ve found a middle ground, yay herbs!
I air fried the chicken with an herb mixture and a drizzle of honey. (Baking would be totes fine) The sweet potato I rinsed, stabbed with a fork all over it and microwaved until done about 5-8 min. I turn halfway. The veggies are canned or local and I seasoned and boiled them. 🙂
In eating healthy and reducing my stress drastically in the past 2 years (plus yoga which im not consistent about) I’ve lost almost 60lbs and 7-8 inches. I was thin my whole life until after the near death thing a couple years ago, then I gave up. Change is hard but only you can do it. You can make excuses or you can find solutions. 🤷🏻♀️
I was sober the entire month of December and have been working on my mindset and making healither choices. Each time I hit a goal I just ask what’s the next 5% I can do. I don’t get it right all the time either but I correct and try again. Because ultimately my life and happiness are created with my mindset and actions.
You can do better at any time of the year, but now is as good a time as ever. 😁 Happy new year. You got this. Balance is key 💖🌼🥰
