      I constantly struggle with making healthy eating and living a lifestyle change. Often times things happen and I don’t meal prep or I eat junk food and there it goes.

      hi, thanks for this. It seems so obvious and yet it’s not something I do: PLAN!! I bet I would waste a lot less food… I’m always at the store wondering if I have such-and-such in the cupboard. Loved the part about “staples” as well. I needed to see this and will try it this week. Thanks again.

      Hi Girls
      Although I love your videos and advice that background music needs to be toned waaaaayyyy down. It is too loud and distracting. As a video editor, trust me, I know. The music gets in the way and pretty soon your viewer goes away. Just a suggestion. Thanks for listening

      Hey there! Love your vibe and advice. As a single mama, my tip to add is to imagine the evolution of one meal to the next. This saves money and time. An example of this is I roast 2 medium sized whole chickens one night, The appendages are then breaded in oatmeal and served with a sauce. The breasts then are shredded and mixed with an aioli, cranberries and spinach for a sandwich mix. Then the carcass is slowcooked with leftover veggies to make a soup. Thanks again for your energy and advice.

      I am pretty much organized and a big fitness nut, l said Sunday would be my prep day, however, that did not happen last week so I did everything Monday and was happy I did. I decided how I would do my lists, I use my AnyList and created a vegetarian list ( foods I need to buy) and veggies/ fruits on hand. I went to Whole Foods and Wal-Mart and found everything I needed.

      We are both in College full-time so preparing meals in advance definitely works. It was great this week to just go in the frig and pick what I needed without having to prep everything.?? and heat up the meals I prepared for the week.

      Eating healthily can be time consuming, however it’s worth it and less consuming with better organization!!

      I have one question, is washing veggies and fruit before you store them in ziplock bags good? I did a couple of times before and my green veggies went bad.

      Thanks!!

        You can definitely wash before bagging- I would just suggest drying them really well (pat down with paper towels) because all of that moisture can speed up the rot process. Sounds like you are on it!

    Last month when I asked who you wanted us to inter Last month when I asked who you wanted us to interview for our habits series, 90% of you said Gretchen Rubin. Today your wish comes true. For those not familiar with @gretchenrubin, she is one of today’s most influential and thought-provoking observers of happiness and human nature, especially as it pertains to habits. Gretchen is the author of Better than Before, The 4 Tendencies and The Happiness Project and in this episode she shares the secret to creating health promoting habits that will work for you. ALSO: I want to also acknowledge that regardless of your tendency, forming new habits may be more challenging for people with ADHD or for neurodivergent folks, and these tendencies may not be one-size-fits-all.

Listen to this episode with Gretchen Rubin to learn how to help yourself based on your personality type and tendencies. 

Which type are you!?!?! Comment below. 

What we cover:
Gretchens #1 tip to being happier. 
Why it’s important to know your nature before you try to adopt habits.

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?! 

Ps have you been listening to our habits series
