PRODUCT REVIEW: BEACHBODY'S MEAL PLANNER

Post by Shannon

Every Thursday we review a Beachbody product or workout. Today's review is Beachbody's Meal Planner!

I LOVE this meal planner!! It is so easy to use! All you do it make your goals (slim down, lose weight, get toned, etc.), it will tell you how many calories you need each day, and then it creates a customized meal plan to help you reach your goals! 

It's awesome! It gives you five meals a day for three weeks at a time. It even gives you a grocery list! It makes it so easy to eat healthy. The meals aren't hard either. This is good because I'm NOT a pro chef! They have ingredients I've actually HEARD of, and they don't take me long to make. They taste amazing too. I feel like I'm at a restaurant when I'm eating them! This is perfect for us! 

Here are a couple of my favorite meals from this week (I took these pictures):

Chicken in Creamy Mushroom Sauce, Garlic Toasted Potatoes and Spinach Strawberry Salad

Sweet Pepper Pork Chops with leftover potatoes and Blueberry Spinach Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette 

Two thumbs up for the Beachbody Meal Planner! It's AWESOME!!

A Day in the Life: Eating is the Hardest Part

Post by Shannon

Most of the people I've talked to are struggling with their eating. That is the hardest part for me too. I love the exercise, but it's hard to stay focused on eating well everyday.

This is a picture of me last week. This little one (she's six months old) kept finding ways to hurt herself when I was trying to cook dinner. I finally decided to strap her to me in this backpack so she wouldn't get hurt anymore! 

It's one thing to struggle with eating well, and it's another thing to be able to actually make the food you need to eat with one kid holding onto your leg and the other strapped to you in a backpack! :)

Anyway, it is possible to eat well. It just takes a lot of planning and patience (if you have kids!).

Here are some tips:

-Plan out your meals each week so you know what you are going to make.

-Go grocery shopping once a week to get everything on your menu.

-Make sure the kids are occupied when you need to make dinner.

-Make large quantities of food so you can freeze some and use it for later.

-Put things in zip lock bags or tupperware dishes so you can get them quickly if you need to.

-Get lots of great recipes so you don't get bored with the things your are eating.

-Take it one day at a time. If you slip up, try again the next day.

-Keep the big picture in mind. When I started this journey back in Sept., I couldn't see this far ahead to think I'd actually be wearing size 8 jeans by Feb., but it happened!

-Use a crock pot!! You can make things in the morning or when the kids are sleeping. So great!

-Don't give up!

WEEKEND CHALLENGE- Plan Your Weekly Meals

Every weekend we have a WEEKEND CHALLENGE! This weekend's challenge is to get a blank calendar and plan out your meals. Post all of the meals that you are going to have that week, and then write out a shopping list of all of the things you need to buy to make them. 

We like to do this every Saturday. We make one grocery shopping trip on Saturday so we don't have to go during the week. 

Find a good day that works for you to go shopping once a week to get everything you need. Schedule your meals before you go to make sure you buy all of the ingredients you need.

In the long run, this will save you a lot of time, you will eat healthier, and you will know what you are going to eat every day. 

We like using this method. Once in a while we have to make an extra trip to the store, but usually we just go once a week.

Enjoy your weekend!!
