Hi Friends!
Today’s the official kickoff of the #surviveon35 challenge!
There was an interview posted on the Fitfluential blog yesterday that you guys should definitely check out with the CEO of Anytime Fitness. CLICK HERE to read it! It gives some more background about the challenge and also talks about his recent experience completing the challenge!
After lots of planning, I went grocery shopping yesterday. Here’s what I came home with:
I spent $56.87. My plan was to spend about $60 and have $10 leftover if I wanted to buy a few things over the weekend to make the last few meals. Looks like I’m off to a good start!
Be sure to come back tomorrow! I’m gonna show you guys my meal-planning strategy, talk about how I compared prices and then had to adjust my menu, and discuss my shopping trip! I’ll also show you all of the prep work I did in the kitchen last night to make it easy to throw meals together during the week!
GET PUMPED!!!!
