    How to Eat Healthier: Three Rules When Buying Processed Foods

    October 22, 2014 /

    I don’t’ know about you, but I think finding healthier processed and packaged food options at the grocery store can seem difficult and overwhelming at times. This can make the goal to eat healthier difficult! (And I think It’s safe to assume most of us have that goal.) Thousands of packaged products attract us with their gleaming wrappings, promising us that they are a “healthy choice” or “Trans fat-free”. However, you can rarely trust the face of a product. Reading and understanding food labels is a must if you are serious about making better food choices. Here are three things to look for when buying processed or packaged foods at…

STOP comparing your wellness journey to someone el STOP comparing your wellness journey to someone else’s. 🙅🏼‍♀️
⁣
Should we learn from others? Absolutely! But does that mean we need to do everything exactly like them? NO! 
⁣
I see lots of questions in my job from people who come across others transformations and healthy changes usually like these 👇🏼
⁣
How long did it take them? What kind of exercise did they do? What diet did they follow? 
⁣
These aren’t bad questions but it’s important to understand that WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT! 👱🏼‍♀️👩🏾‍🦱👩🏼‍🦰👩🏽
⁣
Just because something works well for me doesn’t mean it’s gonna be the same for you. Our bodies, our history, our genetics are all so individually unique and that’s amazing! 
⁣
Learn the fundamentals of nutrition and how to nourish your body and do your best. 🥑
⁣
Discover types of workouts you enjoy and make you feel good and stick with it. 🏋🏼‍♀️
⁣
Keep learning, trying new things and remember the fundamentals! Don’t worry what everyone else is doing or feel the need to compare. 💙 you’ve got this!

Thoughts going into the new year 👉🏼 Stop pla Thoughts going into the new year 👉🏼 Stop playing the victim. ❌ ( I actually shared this last year, but I feel so strongly about it I think it’s worth sharing again.) 
⠀⠀
Life is full of ups and downs, some because life is just that way and sometimes because of the choices you make. You can choose to be angry, shift blame, & negative or you can work hard, do you best, and stay positive. 😊
⠀⠀
Because guess what? You get to choose your attitude every day. You get to decide how your life goes. If you don’t like something? Change it. Can’t control certain things? Don’t fixate on it. Focus on the good and the good gets better. 👊🏼

Have a great week friends! ⠀⠀

Do you still workout with a calorie goal in mind? Do you still workout with a calorie goal in mind? 🔥 ⠀⠀
⁣
Here’s a tip, maybe instead of worrying about how many calories you burn in a workout focus on a performance goal instead. 💪🏼 It could be lifting a little bit heavier than last time or getting deeper in that squat. Maybe it’s trimming down your 5k time or finally getting that perfect pull up. 🙌🏻
⠀⠀
Burning calories is great, but you’ll really see improvements and feel like an athlete when you focus on something specific rather than just an estimated calorie burn. 👍
⠀⠀
Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend! 😘

Things that help keep my home a sanctuary: 🏠

 -Thoughtful art that has meaning. (Like my @mapiful maps)
- Keeping an attitude of gratitude.
- Filling my home with love and being mindful of what I watch, listen, and allow in my home.

Today I’m grateful for my little safe space and this cozy corner. I’m grateful that our homes, no matter how humble, can be sanctuaries from the chaos. 💙

If you do a lot of sitting or are a normal human b If you do a lot of sitting or are a normal human being, you might have a tight low back and hamstrings. 🦵🏽
⁣
Give them some love with these stretches! I love to do these after a workout or when they need some extra help. 
⁣
Although you don’t want to overstretch these muscles, regularly giving them some attention with thoughtful stretches or mobility work can help them loosen up and feel less tight or sore. 
⁣
Hold each for 30-60 seconds. 
⁣
Pro tip: try doing it while you watch a show or make it a more relaxing experience with your favorite music and essential oils!

How to stay healthy when you have a desk job 💻 How to stay healthy when you have a desk job 💻
⁣
Have a desk job? Spend quite a bit of time sitting for work? I’m right there with ya! 
⁣
Working full time and prioritizing health  can be tricky. Here are some of my tips that help me balance it all and keep my health a priority 👇🏼
⁣
1. Focus on your nutrition. It’s the one thing that almost always you can control IF you give it some thought. Stick to the basics like getting veggies and limiting your processed food intake and you’ll be golden. 
⁣
2. Use your lunch break wisely. I like to use my lunch break to get in some movement (even if it’s just a short walk) and/or make a nutritious meal. Meditation or getting some fresh air is also a good idea! 
⁣
3. Stand for a few minutes every hour. If you have a standing desk, use it! Or just get up, stretch, and try working standing up every now and then. 
⁣
4. Drink that H20. You’ll keep your energy up, and have to pee more which means you’ll have to take a break from sitting more 😘
⁣
5. Try adding strength training to your routine. It suuuuper sucks but as we age we lose muscle mass IF we don’t do anything about it. You can combat extra muscle loss and bad desk posture with strength training. Muscle = youth ✨

No matter the road ahead, remember you’ve surviv No matter the road ahead, remember you’ve survived everything life has thrown at you so far. 💪🏼
⁣
I’ve leaned this year there’s a lot of things I can’t control and that’s been frustrating. Sometimes I felt so helpless this past year watching things unfold. 
⁣
But, I also leaned that it’s not always our job to fix the worlds problems but to just focus on our own little sphere and what we can control and who we can help. 
⁣
✨I have power over my health & well-being.
✨I have power over my attitude & faith.
✨I have power to help & love those close to me.
⁣
I hope you all have a safe and happy new year and that 2021 brings you joy! 💙 What are you doing to ring in the new year?
