It's possible to trade profitably on the Forex, the nearly $2 trillion worldwide currency exchange market. But the odds are against you, even more so if you don't prepare and plan your trades. According to a 2014 Bloomberg report, several analyses of retail Forex trading, including one by the National Futures Association (NFA), the industry's regulatory body, concluded that more than two out of three Forex traders lose money. This suggests that self-education and caution are recommended. Here are some approaches that may improve your odds of taking a profit. Prepare Before You Begin Trading Because the Forex market is highly leveraged -- as much as 50 to 1 -- it can have the same appeal as buying a lottery ticket: some small chance of making a killing. This, however, isn't trading; it's gambling, with the odds long against you. A better way of entering the Forex market is to carefully prepare. Beginning with a practice account is helpful and risk-free. While you're trading in your practice account, read the most frequently recommended Forex trading books, among them Currency Forecasting: A Guide to Fundamental and Technical Models of Exchange Rate Determination, by Michael R. Rosenberg is short, not too sweet and highly admired introduction to the Forex market. Forex Strategies: Best Forex Strategies for High Profits and Reduced Risk, by Matthew Maybury is an excellent introduction to Forex trading. The Little Book of Currency Trading: How to Make Big Profits in the World of Forex, by Kathy Lien is another concise introduction that has stood the test of time. All three are available on Amazon. Rosenberg's book, unfortunately, is pricey, but it's widely available in public libraries. "Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude," by Mark Douglas is another good book that's available on Amazon, and, again, somewhat pricey, although the Kindle edition is not. Use the information gained from your reading to plan your trades before plunging in. The more you change your plan, the more you end up in trouble and the less likely that elusive forex profit will end up in your pocket. Diversify and Limit Your Risks Two strategies that belong in every trader's arsenal are: Diversification: Traders who execute many small traders, particularly in different markets where the correlation between markets is low, have a better chance of making a profit. Putting all your money in one big trade is always a bad idea. Familiarize yourself with ways guaranteeing a profit on an already profitable order, such as a trailing stop, and of limiting losses using stop and limit orders. These strategies and more are covered in the recommended books. Novice traders often make the mistake of concentrating on how to win; it's even more important to understand how to limit your losses. Be Patient Forex traders, particularly beginners, are prone to getting nervous if a trade does not go their way immediately, or if the trade goes into a little profit they get itchy to pull the plug and walk away with a small profit that could have been a significant profit with little downside risk using appropriate risk reduction strategies. In "On Any Given Sunday," Al Pacino reminds us that "football is a game of inches." That's a winning attitude in the Forex market as well. Remember that you are going to win some trades and lose others. Take satisfaction in the accumulation of a few more wins than losses. Over time, that could make you rich!

Meal prep can be the difference between staying on track with healthy eating choices or going off the rails and finding yourself ordering a Mc whatever through a speaker in the drive-through.   Dedicating a few extra minutes on weekends to set up your meals for the week is time well spent.  Whether it be lunches, dinners or both – planning ahead is essential.

Meal Prep Mediterranean Chicken BowlsMEAL PREP!

Trying to figure out what to do for lunches during the week can be a real drag.  Especially when you are trying to eat healthy, nutritious food instead of hitting the drive-thru.   Stocking up on fresh vegetables and staples like chickpeas, feta and olives make meal prep a breeze.  If you aren’t a fan of feta, substitute it for something you like.  Ricotta salata is a crumbly cheese similar to feta but milder in flavor.   Not an olive lover? Leave them off.   
When I’m making a “bowl” like this for meal prep, I usually include a grain.  This time, I made roasted chickpeas in place of the grain.  Roasted chickpeas are crunchy and delicious when they are warm.  After they’ve cooled, they are chewy and nutty which gives great texture to this salad.  
Mediterranean Chicken BowlI grilled a few extra chicken breasts when I made them for dinner a couple of nights ago.  I knew that I was going to do these for lunches for the week, so I planned ahead and made more than I needed.  See those two with the chicken meatballs?  Same deal.  I made meatballs one night and made extra to make meal prep easier.  I’m far from consistent on this, but I try.  I find that if I have something already prepped for the week, it helps me stay on track with good choices instead of grabbing whatever because I’m starving and I have nothing ready to eat.
meal prepWith a little planning and a little time spent prepping, you can stay on track and weekday meals become one less thing to worry about.
