Save Money Freeze Fruit

Ever had this happen? 

Of course! We all have. I use to waste so much money on food because it would go bad before I got a chance to eat it. Fruit only lasts for so long before going bad. Here is one way I learned to save more food and money at the same time.

Slice up your fruit of choice before they go bad.

Place in freezer storage bags
(any fruit can be frozen)

place in the freezer
(here I have frozen mango, pineapples, strawberries and bananas)

Frozen fruit lasts in the freezer for a pretty long time. I typically use within a couple months. I use frozen bananas sooner..... I would say within a couple weeks (but you don't have to). I do this because I buy fresh bananas every week.

I like to use my frozen fruit to make smoothies.... I have at least one a day. Sometimes I'll mix fresh fruit and frozen fruit together. I do this a lot when I make strawberry banana smoothies. I'll use frozen strawberries and fresh bananas. It all depends on what I have available at the time.

30 Day Fitness Challenge Day 30 (discipline)

You Can't Buy Discipline 

There are some things in life money just can buy and discipline is one of them!.....sure you can go out and buy fancy gym equipment for your home or even take the big leap to upgrade to that 'ultimate, premium, triple, plus, plus' membership at your local gym thinking it's going to 'magically' make you wanna workout.

*Neither of these will work if you don't have the discipline and commitment to accompany them!*

Trust me, I know first hand... before I got serious about working out consistently, I contemplated getting a fancy treadmill, and a whole bunch of other 'gym equipment' thinking I would get serious once I purchased them (bad idea) I even got a gym membership that sat for months without me ever using it. lol (don't act like y'all don't know what I'm talking about all my New Year's resolution people who get a membership at the beginning of the year and never go back after signing up lol :)

I wanted to bring a little encouragement by letting you know it's never too late to get serious about living a healthier, active lifestyle. There's always something you can do even if you have to start small... 

Making up your mind and committing to your health and wellness goals no matter what it takes is more than half the battle.

30 Day Fitness Challenge Day 27 (Insanity Workout)

Insanity Workout Anyone?

Insanity still seems to be all the rave in the world of fitness. Everybody is trying it. Insanity is a pretty intense program and is not for the faint of heart! This is one of the first workout programs I did when I started to get serious about my fitness goals. I like this program for a number of reasons:

1. It's challenging

2. Great results

3. No gym membership required 

4. After you do insanity, you feel like you can do anything. 

Before I do an insanity workout I always make sure to eat a light snack.

Pre-workout snack. (Apple and pineapples)

Green smoothie (see blog post from day 2 of my fitness challenge)

Every time I complete an insanity workout I always finish with a healthy smoothie to replenish.

If you've never tried insanity and you're looking for a challenging program that gets results, I recommend giving this workout a try.

If you have tried insanity or are currently doing the 60 day challenge I'd love to hear from you. Please share your experience below.

30 Day Fitness Challenge Day 5 (workout generator)

Choosing A Workout Plan That Works For You

With so many workout routines and programs on the market, it can be difficult to find the exersise plan that works best for you. All the available options can leave you confused and stuck wondering what to do next. It doesn't have to be this way! All you need is a little guidance and a few exercises designed specifically for your needs and you'll be on your way! It's important that the workout routine you choose is right for your personal fitness goals. A person wanting to lose 50 pounds may have a different strategy than the individual who just wants to tighten and tone.

http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_plan_generator.asp

I ran accross a great website that has a workout generator to customize your workout routine based on your specific goals. This is a pretty basic workout generator, but it's great for those who have no clue where to begin as well as those who are looking for new routines. 

The workout generator is pretty simple to use. You'll be asked about:

1. Your fitness level?

2. What type of workout you want?

3. How much time you want to spend working out?

4. What equipment you want to use?

After you answer those questions, you'll immediately be taken to a screen that shows you different work outs based on the criteria you entered. There will be a variety of exercises to choose from.

Using a workout generator makes it simple to find fresh new routines that align with your fitness goals. Trying to figure it out all on your own will be a thing of the past!

I hope this tip helps! I'll do full review on www.sparkpeople.com in another blog. This is an excellent website with tons of health and fitness tips.
