Prepping for the 3 Day Refresh

When I decide to do something new, it always scares me and makes me nervous, like FREAK OUT PANIC ATTACK NERVOUS. I dont LOVE change... But, I try to always remind myself that I cant GROW if I dont try new things. 

So with that being said... I have let myself go. I have been eating whatever I want and not focusing on my eating. Which is HORRIBLE.
I'm bloated.
I lack energy.
And I am NOT FOCUSED.

My mom and I partner up for everything, we are each others back bone. When I am struggling, I go to her for help and support and when she is struggling, she will come to me for help and support.
So we decided that we are going to be doing the 3 Day Refresh together!!!! Starting... TOMORROW!!!

Today, I prepped for us!

I read through my handy booklet to find out what we should be eating and drinking for the next 3 days, and if we should be doing any physical activity.

Over the next 3 days, we will be eating alot of natural foods, drinking PLENTY of water and doing light exercises.
The kit that you get from Beachbody comes with 3 packets of "Fiber Sweep" and 6 packets of "Vanilla Fresh".

The Fiber Sweep drink eliminates waste from your digestive system, while supporting healthy intestinal flora.
The Vanilla Fresh drink, is high in protein and helps satisfy your hunger. Its gives you proper nutrition for a healthy weight loss and also has fiber in it. *Dairy and soy free*

After reading the booklet I started to prep, probably the biggest component when eating healthy!! You have to meal prep or you will NOT succeed.

I had a hard time trying to figure out how much I would need for veggies because it was calculated with measuring cups and without having the food already in front of you, it is hard to know exactly how much you need. So I made sure that I had enough food for the first day to see how much I would need for the next days!

Check back tomorrow to see if my mom and I made it through our first day!!!

XOXO,

Quick Chili Recipe

This recipe is healthy, quick, easy and not to mention SUPER CHEAP!!!!

I know I cant be the only out there who HATES to cook. It wouldnt be so bad if I didnt have to clean up after I cook. Ya know what I mean.

So... when I do cook, I make it quick, easy, and use the least amount of pots and pans as possible!

::Okay so heres what you need, 5 ingredients. THATS IT!!!::

- 1 package of turkey burger
- 1 can of tomato sauce
- 1 can of kidney beans
- 1 can of crushed/diced tomatoes
- 1 pack of chili seasoning

First get one large pot, put your turkey burger in the pot and start browning your turkey. 

(Ew raw meat grosses me out)

Next put in your chili seasoning. I like that it soaks into the meat and gives it a lot of flavor.

(Someday I would like to start making my own seasoning, but for now, I make sure to get the 30% less sodium)

Next I mix in my crushed/diced tomatoes and the kidney beans. 

(I personally like to add diced tomatoes instead of the crushed. I like thicker chili but my sister likes it more thin and soup like. And I like to add pinto beans and black beans)

Lastly, I add in the tomato sauce.

I like to let it cook for 15-20 minutes just so that all the ingredients mix together and the for the flavor!!

BUT

If you are impatient and cant let it cook for 20 minutes - crank up that heat and let it cook for 5 minutes and eat!!!

I like to add one more thing to my personal bowl and that is CRUSHED RED PEPPER, YUM!!!

The meal costs around $10 and feed over 4 people and there are still left overs for the next day!!
