How Do You Prep?

Everyone has their own system, but I'm hoping if I share what works for me, maybe that will help some of you! I would like to start off by saying, I hadn't been grocery shopping in 3 weeks so I spent almost 2 hours shopping. Yikes, but I go to three different stores to find the best deals! Eating healthy DOES NOT have to be expensive; it just takes time and pre-planning. I always buy my bananas, avocados, bottles water, organic chicken, brown eggs, frozen salmon, and sweet potatoes at SAMs Club. This trip I also got strawberries, canteloupe, and organic salad mix. 

One of my favorite places to get CHEAP veggies, gluten free mixes, and canned goods is Aldi's. A misconception about Aldi's is that the food is expired, left-overs, etc...NOT true! Aldi's has their own distributor and is affiliated with Trader Joe's! 

Okay so now you've shopped and have all these bags on your counter. I WILL not put away my fruits and veggies until they are washed, cut, and put in their storage container. Preparation is so important so you have no excuse! I also boiled some eggs for my breakfast, got my frozen salmon out to thaw, and set out all my other meats for the week. 

I also recommend putting your fruits and veggies on the counter so you see it every day. If it's out of site, it's out of mind. 

A couple other ideas; I have a small bag I use to keep all my AdvoCare products handy so I don't forget to take anything. I get everything ready each night before bed. 

Lastly, I always pack a workout bag and set it by the door so I have no excuse to skip the gym!
