Melissa talks about meal prepping, snacks, and being active on the weekends
“It’s important to have some rules when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. You really need to have realistic expectations of where you want to be and when.
Break things down into 6-week goals so you’re not overthinking, otherwise you can rack your brains thinking it’ll never happen because it’s so far in the future.”
Then divide up your week with a plan. this is what I do.
1. Plan your week
“Sunday – grocery day. Prepare 1-2 meals and 1 snack option.”
2. Be sure to eat snacks
“Make sure you have ingredients on hand to make some quick and easy snacks eg feta with tomato and rice cake with chickpeas. Snack strike! “
3. Pack a mid-week meal
By the time Wednesday comes around, you may need to increase your snack and other meal choices. This is the time to make another batch or double batch of a meal or snack.”
4. Plan the weekend!
“Thursday and Friday are the end of the week, these are the most important days to stay on track so that the weekend lasts. Know what you have for dinner these days! I always like to create a healthy alternative to a fast food option, for example naked burgers and healthy pizza And burrito bowls. Get the kids involved and make it fun for them. A great way to teach them to be independent and to try new foods.”
5. Get active on the weekends
“Saturday and Sunday. Now, those are the days most of us throw out the window! I highly recommend you start your day with activity. Your first workout in the morning sets the tone for the day. Mentally, this will help you make better choices with your food. Try it, I promise it works.”
“If you have a picnic or a birthday, check your calorie intake or what you’re ordering.
Of course, it’s okay to have a balance, but it’s also a good idea to choose healthy options when you go out and enjoy them. Most of the time you can order something tasty and healthy that won’t leave you feeling guilty and bloated! “
6. Use the app!
“Never feel guilty for taking some time each day to exercise, self-love, or prepare. You are as important as everyone else in your family. Learn to do some self-love. The happier you are, the easier it will be to stay on track.” I highly recommend finding something you love to do, like the gym, dancing, swimming, and running. If you can’t find anything, get out of your comfort zone and try something new.”
Take the leap and give yourself a chance to take up a hobby or something else you really enjoy.
Being happy with your lifestyle change is crucial. Remember, this is a comprehensive lifestyle change, not just about losing weight.
Trust the process, be patient and always remember how long it took you to get where you are, results don’t happen overnight.”
