For me and many other health and fitness bloggers, the idea of spending a crap ton of money to be healthy is a very unrealistic stereotype of healthy living. Believe me, Bailey, and Katie when we tell you we do it on a college student budget and we really make it work! Here are my meals today and a rough cost.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A MILLIONAIRE TO BE HEALTHY!
Breakfast:
1 whole wheat bagel thin ($2.69 for pack of 8)
1T light garden vegetable cream cheese ($2.30 for a half pound container)
1c bolthouse smoothie (this one was 2 for $4)
Lunch:
Buttermilk Ranch marinated chicken breast $2
California Stir Fry veggie steamer $2 for whole bag (I only usually eat half)
Butternut squash $1.40 (I get small one's cut them in half and portion it into my tupperware)
Strawberry fizzy water ($1.99 for 4 bottles)
Quick dinner before night class:
1 vanilla activia yogurt ($1.99 for four containers)
1/2 c blueberries ($2.99 for a large container at Target this week!)
1/2 c Bailey's home made granola
All of the meals that I make for myself are very cost conscious. I try to keep my grocery budget to $30 a week.
I will say that the things I splurge on are protein and supplements. I can usually make it between 1.5-2 months on one package of isopure protein and quest bars, but I RARELY get out of GNC under $60.
Since it was a balmy 26 degrees here today I took my run out of the gym. FINALLY! I got in a nice 4.5 mile cruise in and I loved being able to run off the fricken treadmill. Me and that darn machine have a love-hate relationship. I love it for the first two miles then I want to poke my eyes out if I have to stare at the wall any longer. I am praying that it is warm enough to run to SJU on Sunday for my long run. 8 miles here I come!
Until tomorrow :)
