Nearly 3 years ago I started my journey to live a healthier and happier life.
Since 2011 I have lost nearly 90 lbs and I want to help others achieve their goals too.

Attachment 2432258

I know that New Years is a popular time to make a change and I would be honored to help you. To get you started, I will host a FREE 4 Week Clean Eating Group - I will supply everything, the shopping lists, menu, meal plan and coaching. All I ask of you is to be active in the group and support others in the group.

If you are truly serious about making 2014 your year to have more energy, lose weight, or pick up a free health habits post in this thread. Also, let me know if you have a Facebook account, I may create a private FB group and/or use this thread.

I only want those who are 100% completely serious about making a change!!!
I hope to make this grow and roll over each month.

Yes, we are starting Sunday January 5th 2014. I'm double checking everything, getting it all on Google Drive and then I will PM everyone that mentioned wanting to participate with the log in info for the Google Drive info.

No hatting or judging will be allowed. We are all human, even I have been eating like crap lately. So if anyone bashes another person for a rough day, unhealthy decision or just plain being a troll passwords will be changed and I'll do what ever I can prevent it from continuing.

Don't forget to vote for what plan you prefer - structured or unstructured.
I did forget to mention that the unstructured plan runs for 6 weeks.

Well that's why I stock up when they are on sale, and I'll go back again this week for more; since I have a freezer in the garage and a Food Sealer as well. With the Food Sealer it will hold any meat, chicken, pork, sausage, or whatever easily for a year in the freezer; with no freezer burn.

I have the FS and garage freezer combo. Love it, but I need to be better at cycling/labeling.

Looks like I am home most of January, so I can give this a strong effort. I try to eat well in the first place since when traveling it's impossible. My problem is I hate wasting food so it's hard to do as much fresh things since I also don't like to shop twice a week. I'm hoping with a little structure I can get away with a ten minute stop at the grocery store after work and not buy the wrong things.

I use ziplock bags to put the Food Sealer bags into, and label those, and simply reuse them, as they don't get dirty or contaminated by anything. I simply cross out the date and re-date them; as the same thing goes back into the same ziplock; steaks, hamburger, sausage, pork, etc. I have a good system going; plus in the freezer itself; shelves are regulated to each particular item; the door stores things like butter and other items.

I don't find that to be a problem, I find running the Central Air in the summer more of a draw on my electric bill EEK! And I simply hate to go food shopping, so it's a blessing to me woot
