Whew…I didn’t need any Algebra this week!
Not a week goes by where someone doesn’t mention the 80/20 rule. Practice good nutrition eighty percent of the time and the other twenty is fair game. It always sounds really good and since you’ve heard it before it must be the gospel. Truthfully, I think you should eat well most of the time and have a treat here and there. What does a ‘treat’ really mean though? And what does eating ‘well’ eighty percent of the time really look like. From culture to culture and person to person that can be interpreted very differently. My best and most sensible approach to this math problem…lol…is that we give it our all until we have the desired results. If you aren’t happy with your level of fitness or your physique when you look in the mirror then now is NOT the time for 80/20, but for 100 percent! Work with me, I’ll simplify it for you and we won’t ever speak of math again! 🙂

Wall Street and Main Street definitely know how to push our buttons. It’s no mistake that they use widely accepted standards of beauty to compel us to purchase their products. It’s no mystery that eating a steady stream of fast-casual-packaged foods will cause excess weight gain, lethargy, and maybe even life style related diseases. So, this is just me having had enough! I take a stand every day against poor quality food. Sometimes I even bring a sign and wear my bikini on a busy street to prove it! Eat clean and stay lean! Need help? I’m here for you!
First things first!!! I’m not implying that protein shakes or bars are bad for you! However, they may not always be the best option regarding your fitness goals. I was observing a stream of people leaving the gym the other day and I saw a lot of protein shakes/bars consumed. I’ve seen some of these people for years and I can say a good portion have made very few changes in their body structure. One of my conclusions is that they may be over estimating their workouts and under
The scale is not your friend. It’s not your enemy but it’s not your friend either. The most accurate read of how you look is in and out of your clothes. I know it’s popular to jump on the scale and measure yourself every day but it’s never the full story. Try choosing a dress, pair of jeans, or a bathing suit to measure your progress or maintenance. This is the true test of where you are and perhaps where you want to be. Especially if you’ve been working hard in the gym, logging extra miles as a runner, or being more consistent in yoga. The mirror doesn’t lie and neither does a loose or tight fitting dress. The scale however only gives you one option and if you associate a number with being fat or thin instead of what your reflection says you may run into trouble. Try it!
What I love about sexy is that it isn’t a size but an attitude, nor a number on a scale but a shape, it’s when you know that you’re doing good things for your body and makes you want to celebrate yourself!
It’s Monday and chances are you are going to implement something new into your work week and life to improve your situation. If so, good for you! I fully support that decision. End of story…..not so fast.
Yes, I am! We are spending countless hours sitting and it’s proving to be a detriment to our health. Whatever you must do to incorporate more standing to your day…do it! Text, surf the web, and make calls standing. Eat or snack standing up. Don’t sit on the train there will be plenty of time to do that at work. Stand! Every second counts and all those seconds contribute to a healthier and fitter you!
If it only took one try to get it right we’d all already be there! Wherever “there” is? It’s easy to give up. People do it every day. Try once more. Even if it’s your hundredth time. Try again!
Want to get those hamstrings popping? Try this! The body bar adds stability and allows a full range of motion. Keep the abs tight throughout and squeeze the glutes and hamstrings on the way up. Aim for a slow and steady pace. It isn’t a race!
