Can you believe we are already two months into the new year?

How are you progressing in making this your best year yet? It’s always a great idea to go back over your goals and to see where things may need to be tweaked.

For the month of March, we are focusing on something that is so important to your long-term success: menu planning. In our busy fast-paced lives, it can be hard to make sure you are staying on top of your nutrition game. It can be so easy to skip meals, grab fast food, or rely upon convenience foods full of unpronounceable ingredients if you don’t have a plan. You can see how these habits may not exactly be conducive to your health and fitness goals!

Menu planning and food preparation can be a bit overwhelming, so we’ve attempted to break it down for you into small, manageable chunks that you can fit in, even on your busiest days!

For this month, we will be tackling a number of daily challenges that will encourage you to think ahead, have a plan, and even do some advance food prep. This will ensure that even when you are busy and pressed for time, you can have some easy, wholesome convenient foods to turn to. We are looking forward to hearing how you personalize this challenge to make it work for you. Have fun in the kitchen!
