Fit & Healthy Buffalo- Fitness Success After 40

  I have a little challenge for you that can change your day (and week!) for the better. This quote is one of my favorites...  “One day, or Day One. You decide.” – Unknown With this topsy-turvy year, one of the many lessons has been that there’s uncertainty in life.  If you’re waiting for SOMEDAY to start taking care of yourself – well, that day doesn’t exist.  “There are seven days in the week. Someday isn’t one of them.”  It’s time to start making yourself a priority RIGHT NOW. Especially when it comes to your health and wellness. You DESERVE IT. This leads me to my mini-challenge for you today. What is ONE step you can take today to help you feel healthier, fitter, stronger, and more energized? It can be as simple as … → Going for a walk → Doing some squats  → Making a green smoothie for breakfast → Trying some pushups → Meditating for 10 minutes → Switching to strawberries for dessert → Reaching out to a coach you trust to help you get started  Now … make a commitment to yourself

So that happened. Your weekend ended up being one long binge of too much food and drink, and now you feel terrible. Halloween led to a sugar-induced "Sugar Hangover" I’m not here to judge – just here to help you pick up the pieces and move on. Use the following 3 steps to get right back on your feet, and back to eating and exercising right. 1. Draw a line in the sand. Decide here and now that your binge is over. Stop the self-destructive behavior and enlist the support from the important people in your life. 2. Remove the triggers from your home. Clean out the pantry, the freezer and the stash under your bed. Get these unhealthy foods out of your home and out of your way. See these items for what they really are—obstacles that prevent you from getting what you really want out of life. 3. Refocus your goals. Why were you eating healthy and exercising in the first place? Because you have goals. You have a vision of the healthy, fit body that you’re working to achieve. Focus

  There’s one thing that will make the difference for you when it comes to eating healthy meals, saving time, and staying on track for your goals. It’s not super sexy, earth-shattering, or even complicated. But most of us forget to do it, even though it works almost every time! It’s PLANNING AHEAD – and it’s so effective it should be a SUPERPOWER. This might seem basic but I’m sharing it because: Most of my new clients tell me they “wing it” (i.e., don’t plan) when it comes to their meals. And a lot of times, that means they end up ordering takeout or eating processed foods. We’ve all been there at one point or another, but a steady diet of takeout or processed food isn’t going to help you reach your goals. Taking just 4-5 minutes to plan out your meals for the week – preferably before you head to the grocery store – will help you: 1 - reach your goals faster 2 - have a happier, healthier digestive system (bye-bye takeout bloat!) 3 - feel more energized 4 - sleep better 5 - save time b
