"I Don't Have Time to Eat Healthy"

Yes, you do.

It doesn't take much to eat healthy and it doesn't take much to be prepared.

I can tell you from experience that it takes me 10 minutes (tops) to decide what to eat for a week and make a grocery list out. My husband and I shop every single Sunday and we plan our dinners for the week in advance. Obviously, you don't have to do it this way...this is just what works for me and my schedule. My grocery trips take 30-45 minutes and are pretty painless (I still HATE grocery shopping).

So, here's my weekly routine.

On Sunday morning I figure out what meals we'll be eating each night for the week. I make out a list of items I need and include items for breakfasts and lunches. This takes no time at all! If you enjoy Pinterest then I recommend finding some healthy meals on that as well! Sunday is my grocery shopping day. Everybody has to grocery shop so don't use that as an excuse against healthy eating.

Each night (or morning) I take five minutes to prepare a lunch for myself. I typically eat a salad and two servings of fruits/vegetables. I also have a Cherry Coke Zero (yum). Some people have to switch up their lunches and, of course, that's fine too! It's only five minutes, guys! It's entirely worth it because you're worth it.

Breakfast is easy because I have a serving of fruit, a piece of toast, a glass of milk, and my vitamins. You can do what you need to, but make sure you eat enough. I can't stress this enough! Don't skip breakfast because that it what jumpstarts your metabolism for the day.

Everybody prepares dinners and it's no different for me. I don't particularly enjoy spending a lot of time cooking dinner, but I make it each night and it doesn't always take a lot of time. =)

See, guys? It doesn't take much time! I can't stress enough that you are worth it! Don't cheat yourself out of this time because it won't do you any favors. I'm still working on this myself and it doesn't always work out perfectly, but if I stick to the plan it helps! You can make this work for you. You don't need to do things the same way I do, but it's a starting point. Switch things up so they work for you! I know you can do this! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or are having any problems with it!
