Well, I have been using e-mealz.com for one full week and just bought the groceries for my next week. I thought I would update everyone one what I have thought so far. To be honest, I am not sure I am saving bundles on my grocery bill in terms of dollars spent. By the time I factor in breakfast items/ lunch items/ general household items and pet items I am spending roughly the same each week. HOWEVER, I am saving money. What I buy- gets used. Too many times I bought groceries with the intent of cooking some particular meal that never happened. Mainly because I would forger to take out the necessary frozen meat to defrost in time. So I am saving money there. I would often buy things and they would perish before I could get around to cooking with them. So I am saving money there. Plus because my week is planned I don't end up going out for fast food. So I am saving money there. In the last week, we had food outside the home once and that was for Chic-fil-A's grand opening by our house. So all in all, I am liking this!
As far as the meals. So far every meal has been a success. Some we even saved to do for lunches in the coming weeks. I didn't do a low fat plan or anything. I am just trying the regular meal plan. I still think that will be a good plan for us since the meals are balanced and fairly portion controlled. I may later go to the low fat plan but not at the moment. The meals are good and quick and easy.
Well, that is enough for my commercial but food is such an important aspect of losing weight that I would be negligent to not mention this find.
Make one small change at a time. Make that change a permanent part of your life. Slowly but surely these small changes will become big. Once in a book I read the heroine asked the question, "Do you think I could eat a bear?" How could she do such a thing? "One bite at a time!"
ReplyDeleteThis is a maxim worth remembering! I am trying to do that!
