    Choose Your Hard

    Choose Your Hard

    Which of these ways to spend a typical evening sounds easy, and which sounds hard?

    A) You could go home after work and enjoy pizza and Netflix, or
    B) You could exercise and then eat a healthy dinner.

    Well… Trick question, right?

    You’re SUPPOSED to say that the first one sounds easier than the second one.

    And, in an “immediate gratification” kind of way, you’d be right.

    But we all know that there is NO EASY WAY. Every choice we make in life comes with some kind of cost.

    It just comes down to what you want to sacrifice for the “easy” way.

    Look, getting healthy is hard for people. I get it. You have to set new priorities and follow through on actions to support them.

    That might include not eating whatever you want or doing whatever feels best right now.

    It might mean learning new eating and spending habits. All can be hard.

    But being unhealthy is even harder.

    Over time, it brings problems that far outweigh taking it “easy” through life.

    Over time, if you’re not eating right and exercising regularly, you’re more likely to have health problems like obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

    You’ll become less able to do the things in life you enjoy. Your health care costs will steadily rise. And you’ll have missed out on all those countless opportunities to simply FEEL better, that come from healthy living.

    So, it’s the “hard” path for me – health and happiness. Joining me?

    I’m having a FREE facebook live event to help you learn how simple it is to choose what works. Join me for a “Nutrition Reset,” just before the holidays so you can prevent over doing it!

    What’s in Your Diet?

    What’s in Your Diet?

    If I ask about your diet, you naturally think about food, right?

    But what if we include all kinds of things we consume every day? What does our “diet” look like for our emotions, our brains, or our social lives?

    Consider each of these categories, what you consume, how it affects you – and where you can make some positive changes.

    • Physical. This means training and eating right. Simple exercise tip: Don’t neglect resistance training. And this month eat more whole foods and less processed.
    • Emotional. Take time every day to focus on the simple act of breathing, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Limit time spent scrolling social media – it just makes you anxious anyway!
    • Intellectual. Always be feeding your brain with a book (an actual book, not on a screen). And did you know drinking sugary drinks contributes to Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia? So, do your brain a favor and dringk spring water or organic green tea, instead.
    • Social. Nurture friendships that are good for you. End those that are not. Sounds brutal, but you don’t need to consume someone’s negativity if that’s all your getting from them. 
    • Spiritual. Say thank you for today, every day. And say goodbye to yesterday. If we fill our souls with regret, we’re poisoning the present and the future. Let it go.
    • Environmental. Go to places and situations that make you happy, and avoid those that stress you out. “No” is a complete sentence!

    Remember, you are what you eat. But you’re also what you read, believe, tell yourself, do with other people, and put into the world.

    Life is a banquet. Here’s to making positive choices.

    Ideas for a healthier spring

    Ideas for a healthier spring

    I love springtime! Especially in Miami. Who doesn’t, right?

    The flowering trees (royal poinciana, showers of gold and frangipani), the mangos, the longer days (light early and late) the chance to start or renew seasonal activities that will help us enjoy healthier lifestyles…

    And who couldn’t use a boost in health after a year of pandemic #amIright?!

    What are your favorite springtime activities that are good for your exercise, nutrition, and wellbeing? 

    Here are a few ideas to get you thinking. Mostly: Move your body every day!

    1. Evening walks
    2. Working in the yard and garden
    3. Spring cleaning (Seriously! It’s invigorating to clear out the junk drawers and closets.)
    4. Planning healthy meals.
    5. Getting back in the water, on your bike or running. 
    6. Family bike rides together
    7. Farmers markets for fresh, local produce.

    Whatever you enjoy, I hope it’s just the beginning. I hope spring ushers in a sense of rebirth, renewal and rejuvenation to inspire you to take the next positive step and enjoy every day.

    You deserve it!

    It’s coming…

    It’s coming…

    Are you ready for the summer?

    That’s a loaded question this year, isn’t it?

    But despite the uncertainty all around us, let’s remember that summer is almost here.

    What does that mean for your healthy lifestyle?

    Well, it usually means looking better with less clothes on, as you spend more time outdoors, right?

    And that’s great, of course.

    But this year, let’s add a touch of grace to our desire to lose a few pounds, grow muscle, tighten and tone and get ready to race,

    We’ve all been through a lot of disruption, to put it mildly.

    No one’s daily routines were unchanged – and some of us have been through life-changing ordeals.

    Wherever you fall on that spectrum, remember to acknowledge the challenges you met over the last year. The adjustments you made. The discipline you showed for yourself, your loved ones, and your community.

    Now … take three deep breaths… and think about what’s coming this summer… a Triathlon? Travel? Fitness goals? New ways to eat better?

    I am here to help. Don’t forget how exercise and eating right boost your spirits and self-esteem.

    10 Simple Steps to Regain Control

    10 Simple Steps to Regain Control

    If you’ve been feeling like things are beyond your control for, oh, say, the last year or so, I completely get it and you are NOT alone.

    In fact, I’m pretty sure everybody would understand that because, guess what? A lot of stuff really has been beyond our control, even basic matters relating to our health.

    We’ve had to take extra precautions every day to stay safe, limit our interactions and activities and keep our sanity.

    Now, though? Things are looking up, and it’s time to take back your health. Here are a few suggestions about how to do that.

    1. Believe in yourself and your ability to get healthy.
    2. Take consistent action in mind and body every day. (progress not perfection)
    3. Be grateful for your health and the health of your loved ones.
    4. Exercise every day. If you’ve been getting by with walks and at-home workouts, maybe it’s time to get back to the gym or studio. For that matter, if you’ve been doing nothing physical all year, then it’s definitely time to get back in shape.
    5. Realize that healthy living (exercise, eating right, etc.) keeps you strong and protects you from illness.
    6. Get help – look for resources to help guide you or hire a coach!
    7. Take your real, quality made from food supplements.
    8. Eat right for your metabolic type.
    9. Sleep 7-8 hours every night.
    10. Be kind to yourself and to others..

    We made it through the last year.

    Now, let’s make the next one really worth it!

    Have you fallen for these myths?

    Have you fallen for these myths?

    Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
    Never eat after 7 p.m.
    Lifting weights makes women bulky.
    If you want to lose weight, then you have to do all cardio.
    If you want to lose weight, then you have to starve yourself.

    All true?

    HA! All myths – persistent suckers that have been around for ages.
    Let’s have a little fun and break a few of ‘em down.

    1. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
      Where did this one come from about breakfast being so important? Maybe back in the farming culture of previous centuries? At least then, people needed a lot of fuel to get them through physically demanding mornings. But nowadays, it’s more important to make smart food choices, pay attention to the quality of what you’re eating, and listen to your body than to choke down a big plate of food with the sunrise.
    2. Never eat after 7 p.m.
      There’s nothing magic about the clock striking. Some studies suggest eating a lot right before bed can contribute to weight gain. And the intermittent fasting trend calls for a period of abstinence from food, often starting after the evening meal. There’s different research to support every ideology, but at the end of the day, how late you eat doesn’t matter as long as you’re not in caloric excess.
    3. Lifting weights makes women bulky is just crazy talk. If you’ve ever tried to gain muscle mass, then you know it takes a lot of time and effort, plus a great deal of protein, to get “bulky.” Weightlifting helps everyone stay toned and strong, which is good for metabolism, weight control, posture, and the ongoing ability to carry out daily functions. – (check out tomorrow’s email with a guide for strength training).
    4. If you want to lose weight, then you have to do all cardio, all the time.
      In fact, resistance training and High-Intensity Interval Training are often more helpful to getting rid of fat and staying strong.
    5. If you want to lose weight, then you have to starve yourself.
      You need a caloric deficit, which just means that you’re burning more calories than you’re consuming – which just means you should exercise and eat right. Deprivation diets are frustrating, unrealistic and ineffective for long-term healthy weight management.

      Here are few more ridiculous myths.
       Cracking knuckles causes arthritis- Silly
       We need detox drinks and diets to clear our systems; Not True
       Crunches give you abs – NOPE!
       Vegan diets are low-cal and healthy- NOT

      We could go on, but you get the point. Don’t believe everything you hear or read. When it comes to sustainable healthy habits, keep it simple and remember that if it sounds too good to be true – or just plain stupid – then it probably is!

    Guess what? All my holistic lifestyle coaching is included in my new 16 week Triathlon Training program.

    The #1 Thing for Changing your Body

    The #1 Thing For Changing Your Body

    Whether you want to change the health of your body, the appearance of your body, or anything else about it, there’s one main thing that’s required…
    It’s not rigid dieting.
    It’s not workouts that leave you pushing beyond your level of fitness and getting hurt.
    It’s not any crazy supplements or pills.
    It’s the thing that most people struggle with when it comes to reaching ANY goal – not just body-related ones.

    It’s this unsexy, not flashy thing called…
    CONSISTENCY.

    That’s right – practicing the same behaviors and habits over and over again lead to results for better or for worse.

    I normally don’t post BODY SHOTS of myself, but I decided to for this post because I am turning 50 in a few days and I want to show people how simple it is to be healthy and look good at any age with CONSISTENCY in exercise and eating healthy and a positive mindset. It’s really so simple.

    If you consistently eat well all week only to binge on the weekends, you won’t ever see change.

    If you consistently eat poorly and fail to exercise, you’ll be overweight, unhealthy, and miserable with how you look.

    If you consistently eat well, move your body, and indulge moderately, your body and health will start to change for the better. I’m living proof of this along with many many of my clients.

    Diets don’t work because they’re nearly impossible to stay consistent with – just like hardcore killer workout plans.

    You’ve gotta be willing to find a plan for you that you can remain consistent with – THIS IS THE PATH TO RESULTS!

    If you’d like help with a customized plan based on your ultimate goals and dreams for what you want to look like for health and fitness please message me or click this link to schedule a Break Through Session with me.

    Based on your past experiences, does this make sense?
    Be sure to comment and let me know!

    It’s Not About You

    It’s Not About You

    People want to make changes and get healthy all of the time.

    They lose weight only to regain it.

    They fail to start Monday after Monday.

    They end up sick because they said “tomorrow” too many times.

    Whether it’s giving into cravings/temptation, being too mentally exhausted by the end of the day to exercise, or you really struggle with things like food addictions or emotional eating, there are plenty of reasons people struggle with getting healthy.

    At the end of the day, you have to remember this: IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU.

    Well, of course, it’s your health, so in part, it is.

    But who else does your health affect?

    Your spouse/ partner, kids, or grand-kids?

    Your co-workers?

    Your friends?

    Your health affects everyone in your life.

    What are the consequences those people in your life would face if something happened to you… something that was preventable by focusing on improving health?

    Motivation is such a fleeting thing.

    Often, it’s something you have to create for yourself. If you’re struggling to make the choices you know are critical for your health, think of the people you’re making them for. I hope that does the trick.

    Tips for Losing Weight While Eating Out

    Tips for Losing Weight While Eating Out

    So many people think that starting or “being good” on a weight loss journey involves giving up dining out.

    And that is simply NOT true!

    Sure, you can control what’s in your food way more at home, but it doesn’t mean that going out – even a few times a week – is off the table.

    Here are 10 principles that you can easily follow that will continue to support your health and fitness goals:

    1. Decide before you go – looking at the menu ahead of time and making a healthy choice can be a game changer. That way, you don’t even have to open the menu and face temptation.
    2. Whatever protein you order, make sure it’s grilled, baked, or broiled.
    3. If you’re having an appetizer, choose a salad with olive oil based dressing.
    4. Order all sauces and dressings on the side.
    5. Indulge in one thing only – either a glass of wine or a few bites of a dessert or bread.
    6. Ask for vegetables to come steamed or roasted.
    7. Drink a good amount of water before arriving to the restaurant and when you sit down to curb hunger.
    8. Ask for the “extras” like bread, chips, etc. not be brought to the table.
    9. Don’t feel guilty asking for substitutions.
    10. Don’t feel pressure to eat all of your food – it’s o.k. to have leftovers!

    I love going out to eat as much as the next person, so I hope that these guidelines help you enjoy that part of life while still staying on track with your health and fitness!

    And as always, if you know you need more support, guidance, and accountability, I got you. Hit reply, and let me know. I’ll be in touch with ya ASAP!
