healthy eating tips

Happy Monday everyone!

It’s 70 degrees here in Florida. Yep, this place is pretty much amazing.

Today is the first day of my 30-day Bikini Body plan!! Are you ready??

I thought it’d be a good idea to post exactly what you’ll need to buy to follow along with me. I chose the most natural, healthy, inexpensive foods for this meal plan so that those of us who can’t afford to spend $8 on organic strawberries at Whole Foods can join this challenge as well.

This is what you’ll need for WEEK 1 of the 30 Day Bikini Body Plan:

I bought basically everything from Wal Mart.

(*The grocery list prices are based off where I live, prices will vary depending on where you live)

Bananas $1.77
Strawberries $1.98
Blueberries $3.54
Raspberries $3.48
4 Tomatoes $1.30
3 Sweet potatoes $1.99
Almond milk $2.98
Dates $3.42
Vanilla Greek yogurt $3.98
Fresh mozzarella $2.98
Baby carrots $1.68
Oats $3.98
Spinach $1.74
90% Dark chocolate $2.48
Quinoa $5.45

Not pictured:

Whole wheat wraps $2.50
Chicken breasts (about $7 for 3 large)
eggs
nuts of choice
3 Zucchini $3.12
Hummus
A few apples

Total: $55.37 (approx)

Not so bad, eh?

It may be even less than that, because for example you won’t use the entire container of oats in a week.

Later today I will be posting the meal & workout plan for the whole week.

I encourage you to post a before photo on Instagram with the hashtag #bbd1.

Here are my before photos:

I eat healthy and exercise on a regular basis, but what I plan to get out of this is to just shed a little bit of the excess fat hiding my abs! The Bikini Body Plan is designed to aid in weight-loss and promote physical strength and muscle gain to help get you started in your new healthy lifestyle.

I’ll be posting my daily meals on my Instagram and I’ll also be posting the full weekly meal & workout plans here on my blog, so give me a follow if you would like to join!

I can’t wait to see how you all do!!!

Okay, so here is The meal plan for Week 1:
