Welcome to your Weekend!
I know it has been a while! I guess that is bound to happen with 4 kids, soccer season in and home-schooling. How are all of you? Are you enjoying the FABULOUS weather? I hope you are enjoying the benefits of consistent exercise and healthy eating. About once a year I like to include alist of the numerous benfits of exercise…this helps to remind us all, especially you early birds, about the blessings of putting in the hours!
This past Monday we had a great interval class made up of combination moves. Many of the exercises were new to me…and I have been teaching for almost 15 years! Let’s just say that I haven’t been that sore in a very, very long time! It is so exciting and fun to challenge your body in new ways, and to reap the benefits.
Let’s face it, though! You can work out all of the time…but let’s not forget healthy eating. Eating well has so much to do with everything…how you feel, how you sleep, your skin, your MOOD, your energy! Eating well is NOT eating strict and ‘perfect’. It is about choosing foods that provide for your body, versus foods that steal. It’s about eating between the boundaries of true physiological hunger and fullness. Eating well is about loving yourself, not punishing ot torturing yourself to fit into your bikini. Below I am including one of my favorite breakfast foods for my son and I (Gluten-Free!).
I have been having my members text me their workout days (the days they plan on attending) on Sundays. This gets everyone to view their workout as an appointment sketched in stone…something not to miss. (Ok, ok…and it helps me keep up with everyone’s schedule at J ). Exercise is mind over matter. Pencil in your weekly goes and just do them…scratch them off of the daily to-do lists. Don’t allow yourself to give you any back talk when it comes to getting the job done! You will thank yourself later. I ALWAYS feel mare cloudy and slow on days that I skip! Just get it done!
