Curvy Girls Journey.....to 44 and 43 days to summer

Ahh! I missed a day!! So you are getting two tips today :)
Remember to add these tips to what you are already doing....just because you have a new tip doesn't mean you can stop doing those jumping jacks during commercials! lol

Day 44 Tip:
Throw out the junk food!!
 
You heard us right. Your challenge today is to empty your desk, cupboards, fridge, freezer, car, and secret snack stash drawer of foods and drinks you shouldn't be eating. If you want to reach your fitness goal by summer, prevent temptation by removing all junk food from your house. If the packaged foods are unopened, donate them. Read the labels, if a food has un-pronounceable additives or anything ending in -ose (that's sugar), it goes.

If you find when you are finished that your bag is more than half full, you might want to reconsider your shopping and snacking habits. We know you spent good money on those Ding Dongs and Sriracha Doritos, but they are doing the opposite of helping you reach your health and fitness goals. Those "foods" are just plain bad for you. When your next junk food craving strikes, reach for Shakeology or a piece of fruit!

Day 43 Tip:
Restock your pantry!!

Now that your pantry is empty of all the junk food, what do you put in it?  Here is a basic list of what should be stocked in your pantry to ensure you can eat healthy anytime:

• Canned beans (no or low sodium)
• Dried fruits
• Easy to cook whole grains (brown rice)
• Raw almonds
• Nut butters (1-2 tbsp per serving)
• Spaghetti sauce (no added sugar)
• Salsa
• Coconut oil
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Reduced sodium broth
• Spices
• Lentils
• Hot sauce
• Sea salt
• Cupboard friendly vegetables (onions/garlic) 

Use these basics to make your own meals at home which reduces the cravings and convenience of fast food.
