You can eat 5 times a day, cook once maybe twice a week, do grocery shopping once a week, and kiss your grocery receipt! How does it sound?
First, eat your breakfast. It must include lean proteins, some whole grains preferably cooked, and a load of fresh greens and veggies. Similar food ingredients for lunch. And for dinner same ingredients but grains. That’s it! How much simpler it can be? I also eat two snacks. Morning snuck between breakfast and lunch and afternoon snuck between Lunch and Dinner time. For my morning snack, I eat one fruit and for my afternoon snack, I take a closed fist of nuts. And friends, drink at least a gallon or 4 liters of water per day, please! One more very important advice: avoid consuming sugar in all shapes and forms at all costs.
I lost 15 pounds or 6.5 kilograms in 30 days by keeping this simple meal plan system. Use a grocery shopping list to keep your bank intact. Share your meal pictures and meal planning questions in FB private free group for accountability and support. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Today I would like to reflect on a very sacred topic about the most valuable treasure of a special child that once was born. You have your gem right in front of you. Take a closer look. Pick it up from the dirt, wash it, gently wrap it in a fine cloth, bring it to the sunlight, and get your magnifying glass out – you will see so many sparkles! Let it shine in you and through you! Let it be your blessing in disguise. Bring it to the others and those running with no stop missing on the most important, who are broke and lost. To those whose dreams were stolen with no hopes. Bring them a sense of a fresh start, new hope, and endless possibilities. Let them pause, and let them see the sunshine in the clouds. Let them know that their unfavorable circumstances will turn out to be even more beneficial and advantageous than they could ever imagine otherwise. Be that star in the darkest sky, let them find a way to the manger where the Child is born.
“We need to live, we have to live, we should live a life worth living for!” Diana Galas

Success means personal fulfillment, happiness, and a sense of accomplishment. So, to experience such success I have created a roadmap so that by the end of the next year when you look back you will feel more accomplished and successful, right? See God placed us – human beings on this earth as the highest authority to rule over it, cultivate it, and care for it. Money is one of the main factors in how to do it effectively.
Financial success means achieving one's financial goals and the ability to meet personal or lifestyle needs without significant financial stress. It goes beyond the simple accumulation of wealth and can include various aspects such as financial stability, debt management, investment growth, budgeting skills, special needs planning, and financial freedom. Also, more detailed personal and financial goals can include homeownership, education, or starting a business.
Clearly identify short-term and long-term goals
Group your goals into categories
Categorize your goals based on their urgency and importance
Align priorities with your values
Evaluate the time and effort required for each task or goal
Balance short-term and long-term goals
Regularly assess and adjust your priorities
Learn to say no – understand your limits
Develop a plan to address your priorities systematically
Consult with trusted friends, coaches, or advisors to gain different perspectives on your priorities

Show Notes:
Before going to a party plan your day in particular your meals. Be mindful and strategic. Eat a balanced meal before the party to curb excessive hunger.
Concentrate on connecting with people, talk more, laugh a lot, and take tons of pictures with as many people as you can. Photograph the food and the decorations – keep yourself busy other than consuming food.
Enjoy your party time by truly celebrating by mindful eating. Do not let special events and festivities interact with your health. And the balance is the key. Happy partying!
