This year my husband and I started listening to Dave Ramsey, a financial teacher to millions of people across America. He's helped us discover what we need to accomplish in order to be financially healthy.
Finances and fitness are comparable. For example, if a person spends more money then they make, they are financially unhealthy-they go into debt. The same is true for a person who eats more calories in a day then they need-they gain weight.
The idea here is to make a written plan-for both fitness and finances. There's something about seeing it on paper that can change how a person spends the calories/money. I have referred many clients to calorie-count.com in order to keep track of what they are eating throughout a day. It's amazing to see what you actually put in your mouth when it's on paper. We've found that by putting a name on every dollar we spend, our money goes farther throughout the month. The same can be true for food.
The best part of all, finances and fitness collide. You end up saving money and calories by taking time to make your plan! Your food and wallet go even farther because the unconscious spending of calories and money goes out the window!
