“Personal Chef” on the cheap
The Price of my Dreams – $60 a Week
Ok, so since my health scare this summer I’ve been reading up on getting healthy.. yes that raises all the red flags of “analysis paralysis”, but since I was not cleared to actually get out there any tart running marathons I was just doing what I could do. One component of my plan is eating better.
There are there three main areas that are impacting my health: poor diet, poor exercise, and stress. I read the article above by Sid Savara and it set off a little lightbulb in my head (dimly, but there). I’ve been pricing out local gyms so I can run in the winter months, so the idea of budgeting for someone to cook ready-made healthy meals sounded kinda good. Kristin is trying to get back in to Nutrisystem, but I think I’d like to look at having someone cook real meals rather than eating the fish-oil laden pre-packed stuff. I’m sure it works, as I have several friends how have had success with it, but I’m not a big fan of most frozen/vacupacked meals.
I *could* do this myself, and have planned/cooked/toted meals in the past when I was on the BodyForLife program. However, with 2 kids now and busier job now I’m not sure I’ll have the time to do it right. If I have to for cost reasons I will, but if I can have someone help with even 2 days worth of meals a week, that would be very cool and worth every penny.
So, we’ll see how far this idea flys. If anyone has any experience or thoughts on this, let me know via comments.
