Living Clean

In my blog I hope to compel you to lead Your Vibrant Life! It will be my version of what I know so far about health, fitness, and nutrition. There might be an occasional off topic rant…. I’m human after all. We only have this one life so I will try to separate fact from fiction, hype from truth, and what’s reasonable as you navigate your health and fitness life!

Motivation vs. Inspiration

 

Good morning! I may be nitpicking but I think the difference between motivation and inspiration is where or with whom the responsibility lies. If I say, “I’m motivated” that means I’m responsible. If I say, “that inspired me” that means that whoever or whatever inspired me, is responsible. A big truth to your overall health and fitness is consistency! Inspiration is fickle. Motivation is life lasting!

Have a fit and fun day!

“Clean” Life Basics

The Clean Life Includes:

  • *Drink plenty of water each day.  Unsweetened Coffee and Tea count as water too.
  • *Get some shut eye.  Don’t try to “catch up” on the weekend.  TiVo-DVR your favorite shows and watch them on the weekend!
  • *Eat regularly and plan ahead.  Don’t get caught without some “clean snacks” like nuts, dried or fresh fruit, string cheese etc.  Staying fueled up is key to avoiding the unhealthiest of snacks!
  • *Move around every day.  You don’t have to be a gym rat but you do have to do something.  Your skinny jeans are waiting :-)
  • *Smile and Laugh at least a few times a day.  A positive person sees themselves achieving and living a vibrant life.  Youtube cute cat videos!  Need we say more!
  • *Surround yourself with like minded individuals.  It matters!
  • *Be your own best friend and cheerleader. We all have tough days but they don’t need to turn into tough weeks or months.
  • *Set a goal with a pal and stick to it.  Reward yourself once in awhile with a spa day or a new gadget.
  • *Remind yourself about the gains you’re making in your health and life.  It’s the one time when we agree you should look back and say, “heck yeah!”
  • *Visit your doctor for a checkup and see if your numbers for cholesterol, blood pressure and weight have changed. This should be good news to share!
  • *Above all else….Don’t Quit!
