LET’S DO THIS! It's Not Too Late!

The Great Food Tune-Up starts September 5th and runs until September 14th. (10 days only!) 



It’s a fabulous opportunity to bust out of our summer indulgences, crush the unhealthy eating (and drinking!), and get back on track so we can look and feel our best! 



For those who might be hopping on to join the Food Tune-Up now, here’s what we’ve done so far to Prep for Success (feel free to scroll back and read old blogs/posts for inspiration and more details!):



  1.  We defined our WHYS…we made a list of reasons WHY eating healthy is a good idea for us (“What will we get out of it?”).  We posted our WHYS on the fridge for a little extra motivation!
  2.  We thought about what foods don’t serve us (foods we don’t tolerate well, foods we tend to overeat, and foods with little or no nutritional value) and what foods DO serve us (foods that are nutritionally dense, foods that promote wellness and fullness, and foods that are delicious).  Then we made a Food List/Shopping List containing only the foods that serve us!
  3.  We thought about the things that have derailed our efforts to eat healthy in the past.  Then, armed with THAT info, we strategized about how to be proactive and circumvent our obstacles
  4. Currently (for the next week or so!) we’re making a running list of healthy snacks, recipes, and a draft 10-day meal plan so that we don’t fall into the trap of not knowing what to eat when we’re hungry!



If you’re worried that you’re starting too late…no need! 



The four things listed above are very easy to do.  



There is plenty of time to get it done before September 5th.  



If you need more details or an example of a Food List, a Snack List and a 10-day Draft Meal Plan, you’ll find them in previous posts. No stress needed. The only mistake you could possibly make is doing NOTHING. If you do NOTHING, you won’t get any closer to your health goals. If you don’t have the time or energy to do it all right now, just do SOMETHING!  SOMETHING is always better than NOTHING!



You got this!
