Preparation
Quote From: adamsmommyI am 21 years old and my temporary goal is to lose 50 lbs. My ultimate goal is 100 lbs. I've been dieting for about a week. I'm not sure if i've lost any weight. But I feel better knowing i'm eating healthier, and not making excuses. I weight 250 lbs right now..anyone know of any good tips for a single mother of an eight month old, who works and goes to school 7 days a week? Isn't it amazing how much better you feel when you eat healthy foods?! I don't have any children yet but I'm pretty busy too. What I usually do is make extra servings when I cook dinner and pack it for lunch or have it for dinner the following night too. For me food preparation was the biggest challenge. I buy everything needed for a salad and chop it all up at the beginning of the week and keep it in tupperware in the fridge. This lasts for 5-7 servings for me. When you go food shopping try to prepare/proprtion your foods before storing them in the fridge/cabinet. This saves lots of time. I find it is also much easier to grab for something healthy on the go when you don't have to prepare it. Taking 15-30 minutes each night to prepare yourself for the following day makes all the difference in the world. Once you get into a routine it's not as difficult. Good Luck!!
