Getting prepped - countdown to Monday

Ok. Monday is D day (or is it J day?). You've got this weekend to get prepped to give yourself the best chance possible in succeeding at #JERFinJune. Here's a quick checklist to help you prepare.

Have you:
  • planned your meals for the next week (or fortnight or month)
  • shopped for delicious, fresh, real ingredients
  • cleared out your fridge and pantry of all not so real food 
  • thought about condiments and spreads (will you not eat them, buy alternatives or make your own)
  • prepared and frozen a couple of enticing meals for those nights when things go awry and you CBF (tip: make sure these meals are something you really enjoy so you aren't still tempted by takeaway)
  • prepared some yummy wholefood snacks for the week ahead
  • precut your veges (and any fruit that needs it - I'm looking at you pineapple!) to make them an easier to grab option 
  • stocked your freezer with frozen fruit for juice and smoothies
  • got yourself into the mindset of nourishing your body?
Honestly, depending on your diet until now, the first week in June is going to suck. I suspect I'll be enduring some killer sugar withdrawal headaches and some mad chocolate cravings. There are three things that will get me through - delicious snack alternatives that will take the edge off, bucket loads of lemon water to flush toxins and the knowledge that I'm making better food choices for my body and my family. Stick with it, with me and the community of JERFers we have on Facebook, and we'll all feel better for it.

Feel free to post questions or let us know how your JERF journey is going throughout the month on our FB page and we'll do our best to support you through it.

Good luck my fellow JERFers. Let's #JERFinJune :)
