It's too expensive to eat healthy EXCUSE.

According to the grocery breakdown data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, here’s where our grocery dollars are going per person:

Processed Foods & Sweets – $66.87
Meats – $62.78
Fruits and Vegetables – $42.63
Grains & Baked Goods – $42.05
Beverages – $32.41
Dairy Products – $30.95
Other Foods – $14.31

In doing some basic addition that comes to $155.64 for junk and $136.36 for meats, fruits, vegetables, and dairy.
It seems to me, if you slashed your spending on junk and instead put all of that money towards good, nutritious foods, the “good stuff” wouldn't seem so expensive.  In fact, if the average two-person family just doubled their meat, vegetable, fruit, and dairy and cut out all junk, they’d actually save $40 per month.  This is a simple argument, but the point is valid: if you cut out the crap, the good stuff really shouldn't have much of an effect on your budget.
I think the root of the problem is, in an attempt to eat better, people spend more on good stuff without cutting out the junk, thus the appearance that healthy food causes them to blow through their budget.

Morning, Noon, or Night?

In my perfect world I would wake up at 5:00 am and eat a small breakfast...clean the house for 30 minutes and then do my workout! I would shower and be ready to start my day! (daydream)
Oh sorry back to reality! I have two kids, one is a baby and one is in First Grade and I homeschool her....so my world is NOT even close to perfect...But I do schedule my workouts!
I workout around noon time! When my son is sleeping! It makes my day start very late but I ALWAYS schedule my workout time in! Just like I would an appointment! If someone asks hey can you call around noon...nope, sorry I have myself scheduled for that time to be doing something else!
You are more likely to do your workout if it's on your calendar then leaving it to chance! So I ask...do you workout morning, noon, or night? Are you scheduling it?
Happy Workouts!
