My Fit Foods

Eating Right Made Easy

So many of us are in the same boat. We have the best of intentions and tell ourselves every week that this will be the week we finally get our eating under control. We’re going to eat healthy, nutritious meals all week. Then life happens and we get busy. So busy that we barely have time for fast food much less cooking our own meals. If you’re like me you’re usually running ninety miles per hour in about twenty different directions and rarely know whether you’re coming or going. I’m not complaining. I love my life and I love staying busy. I keep it that way on purpose. It does make it difficult to always eat as well as I would like, though. Another challenge I run into is the cost of eating healthy. I personally don’t have the option to go home for lunch every day and with gas at $4.00 a gallon who wants to? Sometimes I bring sandwich making supplies but that gets really old after about a week of the same thing. If you ever find yourself in this particular predicament, I have found an answer!

My Fit Foods is a wonderful locally owned establishment that prepares fresh, healthy foods with no preservatives or other added yuckiness. They are high in protein and actually keep you full which I find impressive. When you walk in you will find a wall of coolers filled to the brim with a plethora of breakfast, lunch and dinner meals so you do not have to eat the same thing every day! Yay! I stopped in for the first time last week and picked up five lunch meals just to try them out and see how I liked them. They were yummmmmy. There wasn’t one that I didn’t enjoy or wouldn’t get again. I got the medium sized portions and they were all still under 400 calories. You can order the meals online or stop in any of their locations (see website for more details). They also deliver! If you’re looking for a convenient and inexpensive way to eat healthier this is it. The different sizes are different prices obviously but the medium sizes I got were between $6-7 each. That’s less expensive that most sandwich shops these days and much healthier. Stop in and check it out! Enjoy!

Citygirlbites

I was actually on an online quest to find the amount of calories in sushi when I came across this blog and became quite taken! If you’re a city girl like me I’m sure you want to know the same things I do so I suggest you check it out! I kept finding articles about all these different topics I wonder about all the time (the sushi issue for example) and realized this was a site I could quickly become addicted to. You can link to it from my sidebar menu. Just look down at the bottom under Links to Love. Happy Biting City Girls!

The Perfect Mat

There is hardly a time when I am not with my favorite green mat. I keep it in my car so I always have it just in case. Of course I am talking about my yoga mat that I use in all of my classes (pilates, too). I have been approached several times by students asking about what sort of mat they should buy and where they should go to get one. While there are a million options I just wanted to let you know what I have discovered thus far on my yogic journey. After trying several other brands, this is by far my favorite mat. It is a Gaiam yoga mat that I purchased from REI. They vary in price and feature so you can find one that is right for you. Plus they come in really fun colors!

TIP – When you buy a new mat wash it in the washing machine… yes you heard me. Wash it in the washing machine and then lay it out or hang it to dry. This will really help you keep a leash on your down dog.
