Updated on January 28, 2023April 13, 2022

When it comes to diets, I can honestly say that I have tried everything under the sun. Paleo, low carb, low fat, calorie and macro counting, Weight Watchers, the list goes on. You name it I’ve probably done it or …

Let’s talk about that one time that I tried to c Let’s talk about that one time that I tried to compost on my own years ago… 😬

I was looking for ways to be more sustainable and eco-friendly and it seemed like a simple way to help the planet…

Well, let’s just say there were some questionable smells, a rogue fruit fly situation, and a lot of good intentions that never made it to the drop-off bin 🤷🏼‍♀️😅

That’s when I discovered @thecompostexchange - the game-changer I didn’t know I needed. With their residential collection service, I’m able to fill my bucket with compostable goods and someone comes to my rescue each week to take it away - no vegetable sludge involved 😂

Plus, once I saw how much I was tossing each week (yikes), I started to become way more mindful of my waste. Turns out composting is not just good for the planet - it’s great for self-awareness too 😌💚

Just for reference, here’s a breakdown of a few things you can and can’t put into your compost bucket:

♻️ Can compost:
🥚 Egg shells (please eat the eggs though - have you seen those prices💰??)
🥕 Veggie scraps
🥩 Even meat & bones!
🧻paper towels, tissues and newspaper
☕️ coffee grounds, filters and tea bags

🚫 Can’t compost:
🐶 Pet waste
🛍️ Plastic bags, twist ties, rubber bands
🧪chemical waste

In theory, meal prepping SOUNDS appealing for stay In theory, meal prepping SOUNDS appealing for staying consistent and on track with a healthy diet…until you’re eating the same containers of chicken, broccoli and rice and sick of it by Wednesday 😆

If you’re spending hours in the kitchen prepping meals only to get bored halfway through the week, maybe FOOD prepping is a better alternative 🙌🏻

Here’s how food prepping saves me time during the week AND keeps things interesting:

🥬 Chop and store: I wash and chop veggies and fruits to store in the fridge for easy access. This way I can throw together salads, bowls, smoothies, tacos or snacks quickly

🍚 Cook in batches - when I make rice or quinoa, I cook extra to store in the fridge or freezer. This allows for easy assembly of stir fry or any type of bowl we may be having for dinner. I also roast large batches of sweet potato for breakfasts.

🍗 Cook proteins early in the week - I usually air fry a packet of chicken or cook taco meat once so we can easily add proteins to our meals all week long 

While healthy eating does take some time and effort, it doesn’t have to mean hours spent in the kitchen or the same meals every day! Food prep gives you the freedom to stay healthy, keep things fresh and gives our bodies the variety of nutrients that it needs 🌱

STEP your way into a healthier you 🚶💭🙌🏻

Walking is such a fantastic, low impact way to add movement to your day while also helping to boost mood, reduce stress and anxiety, improve digestion and so much more. 

✨Helpful tip - if you’re looking to add more steps into your daily routine, try splitting your steps goal into smaller, more attainable chunks. Take a quick walk around the block before work. Get out of the house or office during your lunch break. Make it fun! Walk with a friend or partner after work or listen to your favorite book or podcast. 

Remember! Start small and stay consistent 💪🏻
