How can I reach my physical goals with limited assets

Ahh "D", There are so many reasons of why I am unable to reach my goals. I can't afford those healthy food choices. I can't afford a gym membership. I don't have time to go to the gym. I don't have time to cook my meals. My family and my children don't like healthy food choices. Etc.

Well let me see if I can assist you with some of these issues. First how you think is  the key to your success in anything that you set out to achieve. If you think mediocre or small, then your achievements will be small. How you think of yourself will be how you accomplish or do not accomlish your goals. What you perceive in your thoughts will be the outcome. Creative thinking is the key to your success. Do not limit your success with the word can't. Or any negative words for that fact. If you choose to and think outside of your normal thinking, your mind will find creative ways to your success.

Now how many of us go out to eat most of our meals. Or stop by the drive through. Oh it is just the 99 cent value meal. Yes, but how often do you really only spend 99 cents. Now you have say a family of four. Each spending 99 cents twice per day for seven days. That is about 28 dollars or a little more with tax. 120 dollars in a month give or take. Now that is only two meals. Now let us include lunch out. With just yourself, average maybe 20 dollars times five for the work week. That is 100 for the week. Now times four weeks. That is now 400. Ok let's stop there. Now we are at 500 for the month on food out per say. Of course just roundig out numbers here. That does not include the rest of the family  eating out as well if you have one.

Well you can take that 500 and shop in bulk at Sams, Costcos or whatever bulk store that you may have in your town. Chicken breast in bulk, Tuna, Brown rice, potatos, eggs, veggies, fruit, etc and have food for a few weeks or so. Now you can take that off day  from work and cook most of your meats and staples for the week, put in containers  for work and dinner can be cooked each day for  you and your family. Veggies usually you will have to cook daily. It also gives you quality time with your family and teaches your children how to eat with healthy choices. You lead by example. What you teach your child is usually what they will become used to and in turn will do and will practice themselves. It is much easier if everyone in the home is on the same nutrition plan and thought pattern. Now this does not negate the every now and then fun foods with the kids. Moderation and education is the key. Fresh fruits and veggies available for snacks for you and the kids in the home teaches food choices verses the chips, cookies, etc. Normally what is readily available in the kitchen is what will be eaten. Very rarily will you get up and go to the store to buy foods containing empty calories if the good choices are already available at home.

So lessen your internet, tv, telephone time and make more time for your nutrition and family time. Just a few minutes here and there and you will be amazed at how much spare time you will find. Change your thinking to what you can do and not what you can not do and your mind will find creative ways to acieve anything.
