Eating healthy can be hard to stick to, but it became easy for me when I started looking at food as fuel for my workouts. I lost more than 20 pounds just swapping out foods for healthier alternatives. Watch this video to learn how I did it.

Hello everyone, I'm Anna. Welcome back to my channel. So today something I'm going to be talking about a question
0:07
I get all the time is Anna, how do you go and find all this motivation to meal prep? Like why do you do it? And
0:15
I wonder the same thing sometimes. I'm like, yeah, why do I do this? It's just now a habit
0:21
I've gotten into and that's the thing it is a habit like I have made it a habit over the last year year and a
0:28
Half I used to not meal prep. I used to not even like put a second thought into what I ate
0:34
I would you know just get frozen meals and like frozen pizzas and snacks at the store and
0:42
Fast food and soda and just you know, whatever happened Just leave it up to leave it up to whoever you know
0:52
but I Started working out and I decided I wanted to change my eating habits not just to
1:00
Lose weight or anything like that just to feel better and to know what's going in to my food
1:06
I also became a vegetarian about only about six months ago now
1:10
So I really like to prepare my own food to know what's going into it. Anyway that aside Anna
1:16
Where do you get the motivation? Well, I Really enjoy meal prepping now. I look forward to it
1:23
I go to the grocery store every week on Saturday or Sunday on the weekend and get all my stuff
1:29
And it's like my social time like by myself, I guess like
1:37
It's just it's fun it's like my therapy for me and I enjoy putting together different recipes and I
1:43
I like to document them. I like to take pictures and You know make colorful recipes, but the thing about motivation is you have to make it your own
1:53
You have to make it something that you enjoy don't make it into something like that. You're dreading
1:59
Don't think that oh, I don't want to make this recipe, but it's healthy for my family
2:03
I don't want to eat it But you know It's what I need to eat like if you don't want to eat it don't make it
2:09
Because you're not gonna enjoy making it and you're not gonna enjoy eating it So why don't you make something that you like and that you're gonna want to eat? There's healthy versions
2:17
This is what I try to say. There's healthy versions out there for just about anything
2:22
Yes, it might not taste the same exactly of your favorite craving foods, but there's something out there
2:28
But that's the thing just like working out for me Do not do something that you don't want to do because then you're not gonna want to do it, right
2:36
Do something fun like if you like Doing Zumba right if you don't like running and you like Zumba do Zumba. Why would you force yourself to run
2:44
We're not in high school anymore. We're not in track like we don't have to do anything We don't want to do so same thing applies, and I promise you if you do end up doing something that you love
2:56
Making food that you love and making your family happy you're gonna enjoy it, and you're gonna look forward to it and
