Good Morning Bodyspace!
My cable is still out, maybe thats a good thing gives me more time to blog. Warning I am still waking up so my blog may be random babel.
Coffee is brewed…. I hate to admit it but coffee with two splenda really isn’t that bad. I am going to trying some flavored coffee from Central Market today.
A co-worker of mine told me she would love to eat as healthy as I do but its too expensive…. I looked at her like she was a space alien. Now despite popular believe eating clean can be extremely affordable. People forget all the processed stuff they are cutting out ends up costing more than fresh whole food.
An example, One of my roommates asking what I am making for dinner…. We keep about 8lbs + of chicken breast in the house at all times so you can guess it was going to involve chicken, he likes this campbells lemon chicken dinner kit which is basically white rice, herbs and some cream of chicken gunk. It cost $3.50, do not include the chicken. I told him why don’t I just throw some chicky ( my word for chicken) on the geroge foreman and put some Mrs Dash lemon pepper seasoning on it and make some brown rice….. wouldn’t cost anything because u learn to make dinner around clean stables you keep at the house.
Another great example is my coffee, no creamer anymore… Saves me $3 a week…. $156 a yr on coffee creamer!
$156 is an amazing new outfit for when I hit my goal weight!

Hi Crissy, great blog, people know what to do and how to eat, however, actually doing it, is a different story. Results or Reasons. I used to be one of those space aliens, I had a reason for everything, once I took a look at what I was spending per year on stupid stuff, soda’s, fast food,etc. I started making changes the next day. Thanks.

People need to look at cost per serving. They don’t realize how cheap eating clean really is. MUCH cheaper than buying processed food. I shop for a family of 5 and if I slack and decide to make my life easier by buying prepackaged snacks and meals, I wind up having a more expensive bill than if I bought all whole foods like lean meats, fruits and vegetables.
