Don’t Obsess

/in , , , /by

Are you obsessing about your body or flaws?

That thinking can slow your progress because you will fail to see the big picture of fitness and easily feel defeated.

Instead, educate yourself, expect it to take time, be consistent, do it for ‪‎strength‬ and developing self ‪discipline‬.  But don’t ever give up on the journey to FIT and strong.

You won’t always be in the mood or have adequate time to workout. That’s a given. ‪‎Do it anyway. ‬ And this applies to eating right as well–it’s not always convenient, fun or easy.

Just Did It

What’s your ‪workout‬ today?!

We got a 5-mile run in this morning. I wasn’t looking forward to running-I was sore from yesterday’s water skiing‬, running hills and doing ‪Bodybeast‬ with my mom. I especially didn’t want to run at Matt’s pace, which is basically my race-pace.

But I loosened up as I went and I’m SO glad I didn’t over-think it and ‪Just Did It‬! Time to stretch!

Share Your Progress!

Do you occasionally post progress pics or do you fear judgement?

Trust me, most people are SO inspired by those pics, no matter what stage you’re at!

Your fear of judgment from the negative few limits the number of positive friends and family you COULD BE inspiring.

Try it; you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised with all the people inspired and cheering you on!

Would You Eat This?

Would you eat this?! It was sooo incredible! Our friends (with amazing fitness transformation success by the way) are visiting and  Robb made this for all of us earlier today!

It’s scramble of eggs, egg whites, low sodium turkey, baby spinach and tomatoes..with red pepper hummus on the side and Chelsea’s ‪yum‬ art with sriracha!
And that’s an Ezekiel muffin on the side (found in most, but not all, grocery stores freezer section).

On Cloud 9

What puts YOU on cloud 9?

For me, it’s being with the friends and family that make me laugh! And obviously when there’s a blank wall, there’s a ‪‎hollowback‬!

I’m no hollowback guru, but I do know you should be warmed up and stretched before you try these.

Jen Delvaux and her amazing fit physique is in pink and blue next to me.

Clean Food

Does it help you to SEE clean foods posted?!? It does for me (well, as long as it LOOKS good).

This was a salad I made when we grilled out with some friends.

It was baby spinach and spring mix with cherry tomatoes, no-salt-added Chick peas, avocado, and pine nuts, and No cheese (did anyone notice I overcame my Feta addiction?) I had mine with a light balsamic store-bought dressing, but it’s great with red wine vinegar and oil!

Quinoa with Turkey

/in , , , /by

What was YOUR Dinner?!

This is Quinoa with low sodium nitrate-free turkey breast (check your local grocery store) sliced really THICK at the deli meat counter and then cut into cubes at home to put in recipes (a tip we learned from @robbinsanity) with salsa, tomatoes, and nonfat plain Greek yogurt which is pretending to be my sour cream! Baby spinach on the side.

It was straight money.
