Weekend Snacking

Weekends can be a dietary challenge. To help me stay on track, I stock my kitchen with healthy snacks with a theme. One weekend the theme will be fresh melon so I buy a party tray of cut melon. Another weekend, the theme will be orange and I will buy sweet potatoes, carrots, and cantaloupe.

MORE INFORMATION:
Making eating fun helps me stay on track.

Terrific Food Tracking Tip!

I don't taste until I track! I put this rule in place for myself because skipping once is a slippery slope. And by making sure my food is logged before I indulge, I can see how much my choice will "cost" me and make a last minute change if necessary!

MORE INFORMATION:
I've ditched food at the last minute that should have never made it to my plate because I tracked it first :)

Counting the pennies!

Record every penny you spend, whether it be using cash or card.

This'll highlight to you how much, if any, you throw away each month.

It's so easy to just buy the odd coffee but before you know it you've blown a lot on something you may not have had spare cash for

MORE INFORMATION:
I track every penny& since then I've made massive savings. It's worth it as it's so easy to forget what your cash went on
