Saving money and losing weight are the two most painful things in life, and when I think about it, I feel that life is short and super tormenting. But recently I started to implement some small habits, in fact, some money-saving habits can actually make life better, not only not difficult, but also a notch, if I do both, you are worth it again.

Don't order takeout, don't eat out
Eat better by cooking your own meals
Eating out and take-out are very convenient, but if you deduct a little delivery fee in the east and add a little set meal money in the west, you will unconsciously spend more money, but you can't see the ingredients and hygiene, and you don't know if it's back to the pot oil or combination meat that you eat.
It takes 30 minutes or an hour to wait for the delivery, and I just want to start losing weight, so I simply start cooking by myself.
On weekends, go to the market to buy all the dishes at one time, the quantity can be cheaper, not only the opportunity to bargain but also send some green onions; design the menu of the week in advance, the dishes of diet control will not be too difficult, blanched vegetables, pan-fried chicken breast, purple rice is simple; the simple style of dishes is relatively free of sauce spoilage, it is very suitable for storage and heating in the refrigerator, you can take it out in the microwave if you want to eat, and you don't have to worry about steaming and changing the flavor of the lunch box from home at noon.
I save money, but I can choose the dishes freely, the nutrition is balanced and healthy, I eat clean for a long time, and my body looks better.

Don't drink milk tea
Make your own tea, and even the tea bags can be carefully selected
I used to use a cup of milk tea every day, and one day I carefully calculated the expenses for the whole month, and found that the small amount of money that was spent every day was very amazing.
While preparing the week's meals, I also mix drinks for myself.
If you want to drink milk tea, you can go to the food ingredients to pick your own tea leaves, choose fresh milk with a stronger and mellow taste, like fruit juice tea, it is not difficult to simply squeeze some orange juice and boil a pot of green tea, there is really no time to prepare, pick a good tea bag and throw it into the water to brew, or add some honey to make honey water.
When I went to buy the raw materials of milk tea in person, I realized that the cost was surprisingly cheap, and how much money could I really save by spending a little manual time.

It doesn't have to be a trip to the gym to find a trainer
You can also have a good figure in the park, playground, and home
I've always wanted to exercise, but going to the gym and finding a coach are all a lot of money, and in the end, I can only let the fat become more and more rampant.
Later, I found out that park or playground sports are never exclusive to the elderly, those ready-made public sports facilities, spacious playgrounds maintained by public institutions, can run on the spot by wearing sportswear, and you can also borrow equipment to stretch after running, which is simply a lucky star for petty bourgeoisie.
If there is no place nearby, spread a yoga mat at home, go to the video app to search for "no jumping aerobics, freehand heavy training", you are not afraid of being protested by your neighbors by jumping, you can retrain without the machinery of the gym, and you really don't need to spend too much money to maintain your figure.

Learn from mom to go out with boxes of fruit and rice balls
Even if the itinerary is rushed, it is not embarrassing
Mom likes to bring a box of fruits, boiled eggs, and rice balls when she goes out, and she used to think that traveling with these was in the way, but these small boxes of food not only saved money but also saved her disgraced self.
When I go out, I often don't have time to eat in order to hurry, and I can't move on the road during rush hour, and I am so hungry that my eyes are dizzy, and going out to play is simply torturing myself. The food in amusement parks and attractions is expensive and not necessarily delicious, and I often make myself very embarrassed, and I once had low blood sugar and almost went to the hospital.
After that, I learned that I could eat my favorite dim sum when I was desperate, and I could eat well no matter how much I was running.
