MINDSET is everything!

October 24, 2018

Hey ladies!

I did the 9:15am bootcamp class today.  It was an amazing workout – so good and so tiring, I needed help getting off the floor by the end of it.  I love that feeling…. that feeling when you can say that you put it all out there, that you didn’t hold anything back and gave the workout your 110% best effort.

That’s when I realized how powerful my thoughts are!

We did a 1-mile run for our warm up.  As I was nearing the finish, running towards to door, I felt myself start to slow down.  In an instant, I thought to myself, “Why am I slowing down…?  When I see that door handle, I should speed up and finish strong!”  So I did.  And that was my mindset during the entire workout.  When I saw 10 seconds left on the clock for each exercise, I finished strong and fast.  I had to reframe my attitude from, “Oh, I’ll stop now, only 5 seconds left” to “Only 5 seconds left to get as many reps in as I can!”

End result – I had one of the best workouts.

It’s all about your mindset. Everything you do. Everything you think. Everyone you meet. All of your experiences. How you choose to interpret those experiences. Everything is all about your mindset.

It’s the most important part to any person. And the best part is that it’s completely under your control. It’s completely in your hands. You control what you make of the things and people and places you experience. You control what kind of day you have. You control how you interpret and react to everything that happens around you. You. Not anyone else. You.

So much power exists in one simple thought.  Your thoughts can make or break you, so what you nourish your mind with is crucial!  Think positive, always.  Look on the bright side of every situation.  Be forgiving, but don’t forget.  And choose your surrounding with care.  Most importantly, believe in yourself and believe that you can do amazing things!

THE BODY ACHIEVES WHAT THE MIND BELIEVES!!!!

USEFUL ADVICE WHEN EATING OUT…

October 16, 2018

Could this be you?  

You’re sitting at a restaurant studying the menu, a little apprehensive about what to eat.  You’ve just embarked on a fitness challenge and you know that eating out could slow your weight loss results if you’re not careful.

When the waiter comes you’re still deep in thought over what to order. “What can I get for you?” he asks with a smile. You look up and frown, no closer to arriving at a decision. On a whim you blurt out, “I’m trying to eat healthy but I have no idea what to order. What do you think I should eat?”

The young waiter looks startled but quickly rattles off his idea of a healthy meal. “The eggplant and roasted pepper pasta is filled with vegetables. You could get that with a salad.”

You smile. Yes, vegetables do sound healthy. So you order the veggie pasta with a side salad and a diet soda.  Then the bread comes to the table and you figure, “Oh, a couple of pieces of bread won’t do any harm since I’ve ordered a salad and vegetables”.

Not surprisingly, you weigh in and are a little disappointed.  Your weight has not moved enough for you to be satisfied despite the hard work you’re putting in, exercising regularly.

It is said that 80% of your weight loss results are derived from diet, and the remaining 20% from exercise—so you can see how important it is for you to stick with a healthy eating plan.  Bread and pasta are dense foods, therefore high in calories.  If you MUST eat them every now and then, you HAVE to consider the rest of the day’s meals to balance out your overall caloric/macronutrient intake.

Here’s Your Guide to Eating Out Healthy…

APPETIZERS
Appetizers are a great way to start out a leisurely meal, but can also quickly derail your good intentions.

Don’t Order:

  • Anything fried. Fried foods are a favorite but will do damage that even the most intense workout won’t undo.
  • Creamy dips. These are filled with fat and usually come with something fried to dip in it.
  • Bread. It comes smothered in cheese or seeped in butter, and even when it’s plain it fills you up with more carbohydrates than your body needs.

Do Order:

  • Green salad. Ask for very light dressing and no croutons.
  • Antipasto. A plate of thinly sliced meats, olives and cheese will start you off with some protein.
  • Lettuce wraps. These are delicious, protein-filled and low in carbs.

 

BEVERAGES
Calories in drinks are sneaky because they don’t fill you up.  This means that you end up taking in far more calories than you bargained for.

Don’t Order

  • Regular or diet soda. On one hand you’re drinking corn syrup through a straw, on the other you’re drinking chemicals that cause you to crave sweets. It’s a no-win situation.
  • Sweet cocktails. Many restaurants are advertising sweet cocktails –resist the urge. Sugar plus alcohol equals loads of unneeded calories.
  • Sweetened tea. You may feel righteous for ordering iced tea, but if it’s sweetened then you may as well be drinking fully loaded soda.

Do Order

  • Water. Don’t laugh! Water is the best beverage of all.  Water all day!
  • Unsweetened iced tea. Don’t ruin it by adding that packet of sugar. Learn to enjoy the natural sweetness to the tea.

 

ENTREES
This is where the real damage is done. When you order something carb-loaded you leave the restaurant feeling heavy and lethargic—you may not even realize this until you start eating better and experience the light, energetic way you’ll feel after eating a healthy meal.

Don’t Order

  • Pasta. I don’t care if it comes with red sauce or white sauce, meat or veggies. If you’re trying to lose weight and maintain a lean body then don’t order a plate of pasta.
  • Pizza. Another dish that has far more carbohydrates than you need. If you’re craving the pizza toppings then simply order those over a salad.
  • Burgers. If you really want a burger then ditch the bun and the fries, and have your patty wrapped in lettuce.

Do Order:

  • Lean meat with vegetables. Fish, steak, chicken, take your pick and pair it with green vegetables.
  • Salad with protein. Ask for very light dressing and make sure you have a nice piece of protein on it.
  • Soup and salad. Stick with broth-based soups that contain protein and pass on the breadsticks.

LET’S STAY FOCUSED…TOGETHER!
