Why? Such a great question when you are looking at Why? Such a great question when you are looking at your motivation to do something. 👶 Like a curious child ask the Why question to get your driving core motivator to change a behavior. This can be great for all of your goals. 🎯 Take the time, space and focus to identify your WHY. Then be like a child and ask why several times to get your driving core motivator. Example: How do you want to feel? I want to get better sleep, and feel energetic. Why is getting better sleep and energy important? Because I want to wake up happy and motivated to start my day without a caffine kick. Why is that important to you? Because right now I'm dragging to get myself out of bed and motivated to even walk What happens then? When I'm that way I don't accomplish anything and I feel depressed and don't want to socalize. The driving core motivator is : I want to feel connected. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #motivation #journeyofu #coachingwomen #womenscoach #mindset #nasmpt #precisionnutritioncoach #findwhy #drivingcoremotivator
Switch out your potato chips with carrots at lunch Switch out your potato chips with carrots at lunch. With this simple switch you could lose up to 90% of the little joy you still have left in your life. 😁 Of course this is tongue and cheek. But there is no reason to eliminate the foods you like when you have a healthy fitness lifestyle. All or nothing mentality. This food is good or bad. This black and white thinking and demonizing food will lead you to restrictive eating and bingeing. 🤪Which DOESN’T seem very moderate at all! For me, moderation means: 1. Not denying myself “worth it” treats or following a super restrictive way of eating. 2. Focusing on health vs eliminating food groups. 3. Making 80%-90% of my choices from healthy whole foods, and allowing the rest to be extras. 🤔On a day-to-day basis, that looks like: 1. Getting a fruit or veg in every meal. 2. Enjoying an ounce or two of dark chocolate in the afternoon. 3. Having a “date night” meal on the weekend where I order one of my favorites. 4. Not having food in my house that I would eat the whole package (hello oreos) . . . . . . . . . . . . . #CoachWomenBetter #iCoachWomen #StrengthCoach #NutritionCoach #WellnessCoach #HealthCoach #WomensHealthCoach #WomensFitnessCoach #CertifiedPersonalTrainer #WomensCoachingSpecialist #PersonalTrainer #CertifiedCoach #StrongWomenLiftEachOtherUp #NASMCertified #NASMCPT #Menopause #MenopausalWomen #MenopauseFitness #moderation #consistencymatters #slowandsteadywinstherace #portion #portionsize #makeitalifestyle #healthyhabitsforlife #everythinginmoderation #healthychoicesmatter #healthierlifestyle #journeyofu
It may be surprising that popcorn 🍿 is a whole It may be surprising that popcorn 🍿 is a whole grain that’s loaded with nutrients and fiber. A 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving of air-popped popcorn contains 387 calories and 15 grams of fiber, while the same amount of chips contains 547 calories and only 4 grams of fiber. For healthy popcorn, try making your own popcorn at home (not microwave popcorn varieties) or purchase air-popped popcorn. Many commercial varieties prepare their popcorn with fat, sugar and salt, making it no healthier than potato chips. . . . . . . . . . . . . #healthysnacks #popcorn #moderation #nutritionswaps #nutrition #journeyofu

🔥PEP TALK TIME!!!🔥 I’m going to tell you 🔥PEP TALK TIME!!!🔥 I’m going to tell you a little story about a crazy week I had a while back. And I’m sharing this because I’m 99.9% sure you can relate. My schedule was OUT OF CONTROL (due to circumstances beyond my control). Which meant: I didn’t get a chance to work out as much as usual My food choices were not great (oops) My sleep was TERRIBLE … All of which made everything even more stressful, which made me crave even MORE junk, which made my sleep even worse, which made me feel too tired to work out. And on and on it went. When the weekend finally came, all I wanted to do was order takeout, grab a glass (or two!) wine, and binge-watch Netflix. 🍷📺🍕🍪🍿🌮🍩 But then I had a little talk with myself. 👍Yes, I would let myself relax and unwind on Friday night. But I also knew that if I didn’t take ONE STEP … make ONE GOOD DECISION … to snap myself out of this spiral, I was heading in the exact opposite direction of my goals. So the next morning even though I didn’t want to, I ate a healthy breakfast and went for a walk to clear my head. I didn't even get a full workout in I started small with a shorter workout. Which made it easier to take the next healthy action. 🙌Happy ending: By the end of the weekend, I felt like my old self again and was able to slide back into my normal routine. What a relief! 👉What is ONE ACTION you can take TODAY to help you get back on track (or up your game)? If you’re feeling that RIGHT NOW you’re in the same boat I was… don’t let one bad day or week get in your way. Your goals are too important. You’ve got this! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #stressmanagement #journeyofu #restart #reboot #tryagain #mindsetshift #mindsetshift #wellness #freshstart #determination #persistence #wellnesscoach
One great way to add flavor to your food and make One great way to add flavor to your food and make it a bit more tasty without a lot of extra calories is to add some herbs. Need some ideas? Basil-is a herb often used in soups, sauces, sandwiches, salads. (has a licorice and clove taste) Mint- can be used as in a savory or sweet dish. Often used in tea, peas, ice cream, carrots, mojitos, smoothies. Rosemary- has a lemon-pine flavor is often used in potatoes, poultry, pizza, pork. It has a strong flavor so a little goes a long way. Oregano- often used in pizza, seafood, poultry, game and tomato sauces. Oregano grows wild in the mountains of Italy and Greece. It means "joy of the mountain. Experimenting with herbs in dishes makes flavor come alive in your foods. . . . . . . . . . . #moderation #consistencymatters #slowandsteadywinstherace #portion #portionsize #makeitalifestyle #healthyhabitsforlife #everythinginmoderation #healthychoicesmatter #healthierlifestyle #journeyofu #herbs #cookingwithherbs
