Airfryers?

I think I might be finally growing up. I’ve had the strong urge to purchase an airfryer for a while now.

As you may know - in Bali, there is a great service called GoJek, which is basically UberEats but much cheaper and a huge selection of food.

It just doesn’t make sense to cook when I am there.

So I have fallen out of the habit of making food at all.

For me cooking always seemed like a waste of time and effort, especially when cooking for one.

But let’s be realistic, it’s a lot easier to control what you are having when you are preparing your own food.

I’m in Portugal now for a couple of weeks. I came to see my sister and chill in the sun but I’ve lots of visitors and catching up to do, so I'm under no illusions of being in a calorie deficit while I’m here.

But I was journaling and I was thinking that I should control what I can control and accept what I cannot.

It’s tough in Alvor to get a decent meal with lots of fibre and high protein that isn’t laced in oil.

So I am going to buy an Airfryer.

You might be reading this thinking that I’m late to the game, and I know I am! I’ve seen everyone raving about them.

I’ve seen how easy it is to cook tasty, low cal food.

I want in.

But I’m only here for maybe 2-3 weeks, so why would I spend €100 on a machine that I can’t bring home?

I’ve always been of the opinion that I would rather pay for something if it helps me be less stressed about something, or if it frees up more time for me to work/play.

2-3 weeks of cooking 1-2 meals a day in the airfryer, would bring the cost to €2.30 - €7.14 per meal. Plus I will give it to my sister after.

To me, it makes sense. It means I can control some meals by focusing on making tasty veg/chicken/fish etc but also go out for meals in the evenings, knowing that I’ve already made great choices that day.

It just depends on what you value!

I see some people who are still so stressed and confused about training and nutrition but think that €89 per month is too much for The Furnace.

That’s €22 a week for all the information, support and accountability you will need. No more paying for diet plans after that.

I spoke to Lisa this morning. She is just finished 12 weeks of The Furnace, and saw huge changes in measurements, but most importantly she said she now has the knowledge to never need to sign up to another nutrition program!

So you probably think this is where I am going to ask you to sign up (and fund the airfryer!) but it’s not.

I am actually going to launch a sale tomorrow, so you are first to know about it.

I am knocking 25% off the price of The Furnace! We have plenty of spaces opening up now after the ladies who started in February are finishing up.

So, from tomorrow, at 9am - the cost will only be €16.68 a week!

Would you even get 2 G&Ts for that in Dublin these days?

Set your alarms for 9am and check your emails. There will be a limit on these spaces.

If you’re very eager, you can still join today for €89. It’s still great value, if I do say so myself!

Anyway, I’m off to look up airfryer recipes!
