Hey guys and gals! I'm new to the forums so I thought I'd just say hi and introduce myself!
In March of 2011 I decided to once and for all change my health and fitness. I went from 26% body fat down to 11.5% in 3 months time. Now it's been almost a year and I'm just under 7%. It's been a life changing experience.
I'm a single father and I used that as an excuse to let my health slide. I did have some bumps in the road adjusting to parenting but I should have never let that come in the way of clean eating and exercise. I'm just glad I got it under control at 27. Here I am at 28 and I feel better than I can ever remember =D
At first learning to eat healthy and cook my own food (I was a fast food junkie) was quite the challenge. I've come to learn quite a bit about proper nutrition and exercise and now I'm hooked on helping others get fit!
My latest project is helping people make easy grocery lists to save them the most amount of money. I personally have found eating clean is actually CHEAPER than eating junk food. I have a grocery list article I'm currently working on (should be done by the end of the day).
It features most of the foods I buy from Costco including prices and pictures. I need to add some that I get from whole foods and trader joes but for the most part you can see the majority of them. By the end of the day I'll also have budget lists on there where you can click on $100 - $150 - $200 - $250 - $300+ and it'll give you a recommended list based on how much you want to spend.
I always appreciate any feedback. A year ago I was helping myself get fit, now I'm trying to pay it forward! My grocery list article is at http://jakesfitclub.com/jakes-current-grocery-list/ check it out!
