NUTRITION
Nutrition is key and is an essential part to reaching your health and fitness goals. Try eating as CLEAN, LEAN & GREEN as possible. What does that mean?
STAY HYDRATED - Make sure
to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Drinking
water will speed up your metabolism, suppress your appetie and help your
body burn more fat.
EAT FRESH FRUITS & VEGGIES - Add
dark leafy greens like kale and spinach into your daily diet as well
as choosing a variety of colors when picking out your fruits and
veggies. A more colorful plate benefits your health and also your
waistline.
CONSUME LEAN PROTEIN -
Eating protein throughout the day is super important if you want to
achieve a lean and toned body. It speeds up your metabolism and helps
your body build lean muscles.
EAT HEALTHY FATS - Yes, fat can be a positive thing! Healthy fats protect your heart and support overall health.
AVOID PROCESSED FOODS - Try to avoid processed foods and stick to whole, real nutritious foods as much as you can!
TREAT YOURSELF - Ok
let's be real, most of us won't be able to eat clean, lean and green 7
days a week and that's ok. I totally believe in letting
yourself indulge every once in awhile. As
long as you are eating clean, lean and green 90% of
the time, it's okay to indulge that 10%. Just remember portion control
and everything in moderation :)
PERSONAL REFLECTION & GOAL SETTING
Finding the balance between your work and personal
life can be hard, but it is important in becoming the best YOU
possible! Pick a day, maybe once a week or maybe once a month to have
some YOU time and just reflect. Write down all your goals; personal,
work and health & fitness related, then make a plan of action of
what you need to do to reach them. Need some help? I would love to grab
a coffee or lunch sometime and help you organize!
FITNESS & NUTRITION TRACKING
Keeping track of the food you eat and the workouts
you do has been proven to be very beneficial. That's why every
successful weight management program suggests that you keep a food diary
and/or an activity log. There are many ways to do this, here are some
ideas:
ONLINE TRACKING & APPS -
Health & Fitness Apps such as My Fitness Pal make it easy to log
your workouts and meals right on your phone anywhere, anytime!
PAPER JOURNALS - putting
actual pen to paper can be very therapeutic. You can use a normal
notebook or daily planner to record your meals and workouts
STICKER CALENDAR - This
is one of my favorites, nothing makes you happier and
feel like a kid again than seeing a smiley face sticker on the
calendar showing you worked out that day! You can set fun goals such as;
get 20 stickers/workouts this month and you get to buy a new outfit,
treat yourself to a fancy dinner, or something else that really
motivates you. This is a fun way to compete with your significant
other or best bud!
