Healthy Mummy Hannah Pech has made a whopping 234 serves of meals from the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge for under $300 – $286.42 to be precise.
That works out at $1.22 per serve! Incredible!
“From start to finish it took me six hours. Four hours to prep, one hour to serve up and one hour to clean up,” she says.
“We used some home grown produce such as zucchinis and eggs to save even more money.”
All of these recipes can be found on The Healthy Mummy app.
It’s been just over 10 years ago since Hannah became a mum. She’s now a mum of five and she’s spent the last ten years at home.
“It’s the first time I will be returning and formal employment since before my first baby,” she says.
“This meal prep was all about helping me to feel like I can get on top of this big step! It will take so much pressure off myself.
“Prepping these lunch meals means I can grab one from the freezer to warm up at work, without the extra stress to be pre organised.
“I’m also excited to have made a heap of snacks for my five kids for the first term, another stress off my shoulders.
“Knowing I can use all the snacks I’ve prepped to fill their lunch boxes means I’m already organised for a busy term ahead. It will save me money and time because I know exactly what’s going in their lunch boxes.”
In fact, Hannah says she’s been using The Healthy Mummy app every day for the last three years to help her meal prep.
“I see it as my virtual recipe book, which changes every single week,” she says.
“Being able to view the recipes quickly, change the serving sizes at a click of a button meant I could be organised and do my big shop to prepare.”
Hannah Pech has spent six years either pregnant or breastfeeding before deciding to focus on her own body once it was no longer needed by her kids.
By following the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge she was able to drop 35kg and she now maintains a 5kg radius of that. Her weight ranges from 70kg to 75kg after having a starting weight of 105kg, which is incredible.
“Over the past 12 months, I’ve come to realise it’s not all about the number on the scales,” says Hannah.
“Losing weight was really important for my mental and physical health in so many ways, but if it was to be long term the focus had to switch from weight loss to healthy long-term living.
“So, for me this was focusing on exercise goals, and gaining knowledge around food.”
In fact, Hannah reveals she set her sights on two things she loved – running and helping others.
“I entered my first official running event and committed to training for my first ever half marathon,” she says.
“I also enrolled back into study and between juggling all of my five kids’ needs, I’m halfway through completing an advanced certificate in health and nutrition coaching.
“For me, knowledge is power, and studying has helped me understand food and health on a deeper level.”
And the mum-of-five says she has taken some time to really start to understand food.
“Recently, I have undertaken a new focus and am reducing, working towards eliminating refined sugar,” she says.
“I’m learning about fibre and how important it is for gut health. This new passion has all stemmed from my total lifestyle change, all thanks to The Healthy Mummy.
“I now have one ‘meat free’ day a week, and love the vegetarian filter in the Challenge app.”
Best of all, Hannah says that reaching her goal weight was actually ‘the beginning’ not ‘the end’!
“I had spent so much time focusing on changing my physical appearance with weight loss, that I have learnt to love the skin I’m in, I’ve stopped focusing on the numbers on the scale and focusing on how I feel,” she says.
Now, Hannah says she mentally feels better after exercise, as opposed to exercising to lose weight.
“I now look at food as fuel. I realise that the more I know about food, and how it can play a part in my mental health is so powerful,” she adds.
“I’m living by the mantra ‘when you truly don’t care what anyone thinks of you, you have reached a dangerously awesome level of freedom’.
“I am me, my body is amazing, and being fit, strong and healthy, inside and out is my new focus!”
