I truly think one of the hardest things about being a mom is finding time for myself. Whether it’s to go potty alone (y’all know what I’m talking about), make a personal phone call, read a magazine or even get a meal in during the day. Most days, I’m putting breakfast on the table for the kids and running to the bathroom to put on make up and do my hair real quick so that when they finish eating we can get dressed and run out the door. As we’re getting in the car I’m usually grabbing a granola bar from the cabinet to go with my iv of coffee. What I’m learning though is that I’m not teaching my children anything about healthy living. Nor am I helping my body or doing myself any favors by overloading on caffeine and some days going until dinner time without eating a proper meal. It’s ok to be on the go, but if I’m not refueling my body I’m only going to run it down.
Insert Diet-to-Go
Last week I was given the opportunity to try a meal plan from Diet-to-Go, a healthy food diet delivery service. Real food, no preservatives, created by chefs with over 20 years of experience working in the industry.
I jumped on their website to look around and found myself browsing for quite a while. It was great to read all about real life results and find ways to connect with others in my area who were also on the Diet-to-Go meal plan and working hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle. For me, knowing there are others I can reach out to for support, accountability and encouragement always helps.
What I loved most is that on the site you can take a Free Diet Analysis to learn more about how to reach your goals and the benefits to using Diet-to-Go to achieve them. While, to avoid embarrassment, I’m not going to share the numbers, I did fill out the analysis and was surprised to find how easy it could be to 1. loose weight and 2. most importantly learn to live a healthier lifestyle.
Once you take the free Diet Analysis, the site gives you a quick rundown of ways that you can make healthy changes to your lifestyle and also emails those results to you as well. The analysis also lets you know which of the 3 meal plan options (low cab, traditional or vegetarian) would work best for you.
Here’s Part of my Anaysis


Here are the Facts:
* Most inexpensive fresh diet delivery service on the market (doesn’t compare to nutrisystem because they don’t ship fresh meals, they ship meals that don’t have to be refrigerated).
* Recently rated #1 diet delivery company by Epicurious
* There are no cancellation fees or gimmick pricing. There is no commitment or contract, and we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
* 3 unique menus(low-fat, vegetarian & low-carb) and 20 plans to choose from.
* According to a University of Washington study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, high-quality, healthy foods cost on average $18.16 per 1,000 calories – just for the ingredients! That’s why eating healthy with Diet-to-Go is such a great value. With Diet-to-Go, you can get a delicious variety of fully prepared, healthy meals for just $17.02 per 1,000 calories. And, everything you need is included. No shopping, no complicated recipes, and no messy clean-up – It’s like having your own personal chef. Best of all, it may be less expensive than trying to do it on your own.
You Know You’re Dying to Know More
Once you’ve selected your meal plan (you can use the discount code 25PERCENT OFF) and placed your order, before you know it, your amazing meals will arrive on your doorstep packed in dried ice, ready to be loaded into your fridge and eaten during the week. All of the meals come fresh and prepackaged with all the ingredients and calories information right on the packaging. I loved this because it gave me a great idea of what kinds of foods and ingredients could make up a delicious meal and still be in the correct calorie count for my body weight and goals I’m hoping to achieve. When you’re ready to eat all you need to do is remove the meals from the packing, plate them and heat them in the microwave, or you can heat them on the stove top and in the oven.
Here are just some of the amazing meals I got to try this week:

I chase after a 2 year-old all day so I understand where you are coming from. What helps me is having veggies, cut and ready to go in separate ziploc bags in the fridge. I will chop up stalks of celery and carrots after coming home from the market, and put them in ziploc bags. That way, if I am running out the door, I can grab a bag of carrots and eat something healthy.
This snack also works when you need a late night snack, or it’s not quite dinner time and you are hungry. Hummus works well with the carrots and peanut putter is good for the celery 🙂

Drink lots of water. At least 64oz a day!
I eat 6 small meals everyday.
TONS of veggies & fruits are consumed by myself and my family throughout the day.
I make the time to create a healthy awesome dinner for my family. It makes me happy to see them enjoying something that I made that’s healthy & delicious.
I don’t buy processed foods if I can help it.

Oops! Submitted my comment too soon.
Hardest thing for me (when I’m not pregnant) is working out. Eating healthy & making sure I take care of myself & family when it comes to good food is easy. But I HATE working out.

rando, but i love that you have a Univ of Wa stat. (i’m a grad.)
my life is nutso, and I dont even have kids… but I’m a huge salad person. Beans + salad greens+ nuts and some prechopped veggies… on Sundays I cook chicken, chop veggies & open cans of beans for easy lunch salad assemblies. It’s worked really well 🙂

This Diet-to-Go program sounds amazing!! As a college student, I almost never have time for a good sit down breakfast. I’m normally making my iced latte and grabbing a granola bar and heading out the door!
There are also quite a few nights jam packed with studying or homework and I just don’t feel like cooking. This could be the perfect solution!
