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
