Start the New Year with Diet-to-Go

Does one of your New Year's Resolutions include eating healthier or losing weight? Is this a recurring resolution year-after-year? This year make an anti-resolution and instead make lasting, lifelong changes for weight loss and total health.

Diet-to-go can help!

They're hosting a Twitter chat on January 7 – focusing on a discussion about changing our mindsets from “I want to be skinny!” to “I want to be healthy and love life!”

I’ve spent years with the “I want to be skinny!” mantra, but it was more of a dream for me. Or nightmare? That mantra would make me feel bad about myself. And deny me the happiness I deserve.

Instead, I try now to focus more on living my life the way I want. If I don’t look perfect in my bikini, that’s OK. What’s more important is being able to DO the things I love to do! By living an active life, I’m much happier, but there are still days when that “I want to be skinny!” voice starts yelling at me again. Booo!

So, I’m excited for this twitter chat. I love chatting with others who are trying to focus on shifting from skinny to healthy.

And, of course, there are some great prizes! ONE tweeter will win their choice of a Fitbit Force Wristband or Fitbit Scale and THREE tweeters will win one week of free Diet-to-Go meals.

Oh yeah! Diet-to-Go is also having an amazing giveaway in January.

They’re giving away 1,000 meals this month, and tons of other great prizes!

• 5 lucky winners will receive one month of free meals! 
• 20 winners will receive a free week of meals! 
• 25 winners will receive a $50 Diet-to-Go gift card!

Diet-to-Go Pin it to Win it!

Halloween is just around the corner. Seriously, where did October go?!?

Have you entered Diet-to-Go's Pin it to Win it contest? No? Well, you have until Halloween night to pin away for a chance to win a week of free meals or a $50 Amazon gift card.

Free food? Free money? Yes, please!!

Speaking of a week of free meals, as a Diet-to-Go ambassador, sometimes I get to try out a week of meals just so I can tell you all about it!

I'm not lying when I say they are delicious!! If you struggle with eating balanced meals or, like me, deciding what to make, then Diet-to-Go is a great solution! Nothing can be easier than opening the fridge to find a meal already prepped and ready to go.

Your meals come shipped FedEx right to your door. They are shipped using dry ice (be careful opening the carton), so they will probably arrive still frozen no matter where in the US you live. Just pop them in the fridge and you're good to go.

The meals are all inclusive, which means all condiments and extras are included in the shipment. Yay!! No extra trips to the grocery store! Your meals will also arrive with a detailed menu plan, so you know which extras go with which meals. I really love the ease of it all.

In addition to the ease, there is also a lot of variety. There will rarely be a duplicate meal throughout the week. I've always chosen the vegetarian meal plan, but since I don't like portobello mushrooms, I just indicated that with my order, and voila! No meals with mushrooms. Sweet!!

There are also Traditional meal plans or Low Carb meal plans to choose from, if that is your preference.

If you want to give this meal delivery service a try, they are currently offering a promotion of 15% off your first week. Simply use coupon code FIRSTORDER* when you checkout.

Hope you all have a Healthy Halloween! Now, head on over to Pinterest and Pin it to Win it!

Five for Friday!

I, for one, am super happy about it being Friday! Having Monday off, this week actually went by pretty quickly, but I'm still loving that it's almost the weekend.

Here's a few things on my mind today.

1. No big plans for the weekend! We may go car shopping, but mostly just relaxing and getting caught up on stuff.

2. My Factors of 36 virtual race has been going on for a week now. I'm loving this race and hearing all your stories about how it's helped motivate YOU.

Like Matt who pushed himself to run an extra 0.6 miles, so he could log 18 miles for the day instead of 12.

Or Tyly who didn't want to get off the couch.

@EnjoytheCourse Your #Factorsof36Race played a big part in getting me off the couch, so thank you!

And then there's my sister-in-law, Trudy, who is using the race to get back on the wagon.

You're all helping to motivate me as well.

Thank you, thank you, to everyone who is participating.

If you haven't joined the fun, there's still 10 more days to run! You can still join us, just fill out this form or shoot me an email at enjoyingthecourse@gmail.com.

3. Speaking of virtual races, when mine's finished, why not sign up for Laura's Fall 5 or 10 Virtual Series. It will be similar to the one she hosted from Jan-June, but instead of  5k or 5miles before the 5th, it will be 5 or 10 miles. Perfect for anyone training for a fall/winter marathon.

4. Did you know that I recently became a Diet-to-Go Ambassador? You might recall I did a review of their meals back in February. I was so impressed with everything I tried - from the quality to the quantity - that I was very excited when they reached out to me to be an Ambassador.

Last night I participated in a very fun Twitter chat about getting back to healthy habits now that school is starting up again. The new school year doesn't really affect me, but it's always good to refresh my healthy habits. :)

Diet-to-Go is also currently hosting an I Live Healthy photo contest.

The contest started a couple days ago, but you can enter your photo through 8/29. Voting goes through 8/31 and winners will get a week of free meals. Yummy!!

You can enter, vote, and get all the details here: http://woobox.com/ciqtzc

5. I've shared 227 happy moments on my A Happy Moment A Day blog. I think that's pretty much a record for me for doing anything.

What's going on with you today?
Any fun plans for the weekend?

Diet-to-Go Really Delivers

I was recently given the opportunity to review Diet-to-Go, an amazing diet meal delivery service. I was beyond impressed with my 3-day trial, and I thought I'd be able to express that better with a video.

I apologize, but I got a little rambly and the video is around 9 min. Still, I hope you'll take the time to watch it.



What I loved

• Super delicious and convenient
• 3 different menu types with lots of variety
• Customizable menu plan to fit your needs
• Delivered right to your door
• Very little prep time and clean-up is a breeze

What I didn't care for

• Packaging is annoying (but unsure if that was just my sampling)
• An a la carte options would be nice
• Kind of spendy (but not really compared to other similar services)

I would absolutely recommend this for anyone looking for a diet meal delivery service, or anyone wanting to take control of their portions and to eat a bit healthier.

I'm excited to share with you an opportunity to try this for 20% off any meal plan. Just visit Diet-to-Go and use the coupon code: fitfluential.
