Here's your Sunday Pep Talk

Sunday is the day of rest…or is it? The new Sunday is the day of preparation and get it done! The demands of work and the lifestyles we typically lead mean we edge towards convenience. But is convenience the answer? Heck no.
Sunday is the day that you should get ‘er done’. If you’re serious about your lifestyle, making positive changes and advancing your career or goal then use Sunday properly. Now don’t get me wrong - i’m not telling you to start your day job work on a Sunday but what I am saying is prepare yourself for the week ahead. This is about getting your mind set correct for what is ahead and making the necessary arrangements so that you start with your working week with a bang.
‘But Sunday is my day off’ I hear you shout. I completely agree and some of the preparation is helping you get your lifestyle on the right track which In turn gives you a great start to the working week. How to prepare? It’s a mindset:
  • Make a list of what lies ahead for you this week
  • Use your calendar/notifications to plot deadlines
  • Schedule your down time to make sure you have it to look forward to
  • Inventory your needs (grocery, toiletries, gifts for occasions)

 This may seem like a lot of work for a Sunday but just those 4 things above should only take you 30mins at a glance....than, ENJOY the rest of your day! It's SUNDAY for Pete's sake!

 Sunday was rough for me because for some unexplained reason I didn't sleep well Saturday night and that made me groggy around 3pm Sunday at work (yes, I work on Sunday's) I was able to break free around 5pm and take a cat nap to recharge before my Yoga Fix.......Day 14 of my 21Day Fix challenge

Yoga Fix after work, Veggie, quinoa, kale wraps courtesy of Costco -gotta be prepared!

How to Create a Beachbody Hybrid Workout Schedule

Image
It’s Day 28 of  INSANITY MAX:30 , and you couldn’t be more excited. You feel amazing, you look amazing, and you’re starting to think “What’s next?” Should you do another round with Super Trainer  Shaun T , or move on to a different program, like  CORE DE FORCE ? Or maybe you don’t have to choose; maybe you can combine them to create the ultimate hard-hitting total-body  HIIT  program! I have a love/hate relationship with hybrid workouts. Why? Wouldn't it ultimately be the best of both worlds? First, there are a lot of people making  Beachbody hybrids  that have no clue what they are doing.  They are just piecing random programs together and hoping for the best.  Don't get me wrong I know it's fun to do.  If you don't do it properly though you may become frustrated and wonder why you aren't reaching any of the goals you set for yourself.  One person's hybrid will not work for everyone and most likely isn't even working for them.  It needs to be

Night Time Eating Derailment - Help!

Image
Late night snacking is a deeply ingrained pattern that almost all of us have been stuck in at one point or another. Even if your goal isn’t to lose weight, eating immediately before bed is not optimal for your health. Right before bed, it’s best to only drink water or tea and allow your organs a rest period. This creates spaciousness for cellular repair, organ detox, and inflammation repair. However, when life gets real, late-night snacking isn’t always something you can avoid. You might be up late with the kids, be a shift-worker or be dealing with life circumstances that are keeping you up. Here are a few snack options you can reach to that won’t derail your weight loss efforts. All of these options are in line with the  Clean Eating  philosophy. 1. Cucumber slices with lemon juice + salt or hummus Cucumber slices are refreshing, light on the system and full of water. Sometimes just a light snack of fresh sliced veggies with a bit of hummus will be just the right amoun

4 Unique Ways to Get Your 10,000 Steps Into Your Day

Part of reaching your health and fitness goals is literally putting one foot in front of the other… again and again and again. Perhaps you are one of those people who are active outside of the office?  Be aware that sitting for extended periods of time isn’t great even for people who exercise on the regular.  That’s partially because long bouts of inactivity inhibit the flow of blood and nutrients to your muscles between exercise sessions, explains Jason Raynor, C.S.C.S., a Nike Master Trainer with the Spa at JW Marriott Chicago. Performing regular activity like walking throughout the day, however, can help your   muscles recover   and reduce exercise-induced inflammation, Raynor says. . Why Take 10,000 Steps a Day? “There’s nothing magical about the 10,000 number,” Dr. Campbell says. “The number came from pedometers sold in Japan in the 1960s. They were marketed under the name ‘manpo-kei,’ which translates to ‘10,000 steps meter.’ The 10,000 step count then just kind of cau
