Thanksgiving on a diet: It can be done

I’d be a hypocrite to tell you to lay off of the pumpkin pie or avoid all carbs. That’s not real and that is also not #livingyourbestlife or whatever people are saying now. I want to offer up a couple suggestions on ways to drop out some calories so you can afford to crush your grandma’s apple pie. 

Showing up is half the battle

Showing up each and every day is so powerful even if the workout isn’t great. Something in the gym is going to be better than nothing.

But, just as with anything else…. the devil is in the details.

What we need to discuss is more than just sets and reps or what types of exercises go where. Any program you get does nothing without the right execution.

3 ways to show out on Spring Break

I want you to get there. I hope everyone reading this is able to, because you are truly capable. It just takes a willingness to show up and an unwillingness to give into the voice in your head saying you should stop. Nothing extraordinary ever happens until you step out of the comfort zone.

Nutrition Tip of the Week: Finding a healthy substitute that tastes great

We all find ourselves in a moral dilemma when we shift our focus to eating healthier. “I really want to eat that [insert food], but I’m on this new diet and it doesn’t allow [insert food].” The boss buys lunch for everyone in the office but since your diet won’t allow it you end up staringContinue reading “Nutrition Tip of the Week: Finding a healthy substitute that tastes great”
