You can have a life & count calories!

Total calories, 1,537

Day 8/75

I work a Mon-Fri job so my weekends are where I get a lot of errands & shopping done.

When you know you’re going to be busy and on the go the BEST thing you can do for yourself is PLAN AHEAD. & if you can’t meal prep your food for the day. Stop at a place where you can still get a fresh/healthier meal that has the calories counted for you.

Obviously stopping in a drive thru is the quickest and easiest. But I am doing no FAST food while on my #75hardchallenge

examples are grocery stores that have freshly made things ex: salads, sandwiches, sushi, wraps, fruit. Or even a smoothie or protein drink.

Also I promised my girly a movie night before I started my challenge. So that means adjusting the snacks I’d normally eat. & STAYING in my calorie deficit.

In today's fast-paced world, staying healthy and managing calorie intake can be challenging, especially for busy individuals. Planning meals ahead of time can significantly ease the stress of making healthier choices on the go. Options such as freshly prepared salads, protein drinks, and wholesome snacks can help you stick to your calorie goals. When shopping or running errands, find grocery stores that offer ready-to-eat items that fit your dietary needs. Additionally, integrating fitness into your routine is crucial. Consider opting for light exercises, such as brisk walking or quick workout sessions, especially if you have limited time on weekends. This can help burn additional calories and enhance overall well-being. For your social life, think of creating healthy versions of your favorite snacks for movie nights or gatherings with friends, maintaining enjoyment while staying within your calorie limits. Engaging with the #75hardchallenge can also offer motivation and community support. Connect with others who share similar goals, and share your meal plans and healthy tips, fostering camaraderie and dedication in your fitness journey. Remember, achieving balance is key; it's possible to enjoy life while counting calories effectively.

Yesss Queen!!!! I weigh 222 and have a calorie deficit set at 2000 and I’m still losing weight! I find myself planning ahead a lot but I like it lol. I had to get rid of the mindset that losing weight was hard because it’s not too bad :)
