Save More Money

Shopping for groceries, and eating out less you will start to save money. Once you write out your meal plan and the ingredients you will need. Now you can shop and buy only the items you will need for that week. Sticking to your list will save you time and money


Healthier choices vs Eating last minute

If you don't meal plan you'll find yourself going out for dinner. And you are most likely to end up exceeding your daily calorie and sodium intake! Even just stopping at the grocery store to pick up a last minute dinner may lead to poor choices. When you shop hungry, you are more likely to throw junk food into your cart.

Check the weather.

Seriously. Right now, the weather is changing, spring and summer are on their way. Check out the weather forecast, and make your plan based on how you feel and are in the mood for. Soup or Salad?

Prep

Prep food as soon as you get back from the store.
Wash and dry lettuce. Chop onions. Cook marinate chicken or beef for the week.

Recipes 

Create a place to save recipes, and keep it SIMPLE.
Do whatever works for you. Don't get caught up in a system, just use whatever works best and most easily. I print mine out and store in a plastic liner. 



Start a calendar.

Now that you're getting inspired in what to eat, start a calendar of what you'd like to cook over the next few days or few weeks. It can be as organized as a Google Calendar, with notes on each day for that day's menu. Or you can just jot notes to yourself in the corner of your laptop screen.

Maybe you are looking for an opportunity and you want to stop living pay check to paycheck or you want to give your family a better life, vacation, college or retirement.

Please read below before you say you are interested.  Weight gain sucks and when we reach the age of 40 it sucks even more. We all seem to think that it is impossible to lose weight during menopause.

But I am here to tell you that you can combat these challenges. You may not feel motivated but regula...
