I Hate Leftovers!

Tell me if you can relate…

A lot of people tell me one of the reasons they don’t  bulk meal prep is because either they or someone in their home won’t eat leftovers.

Understandable! I'm not crazy about warmed-over food either!

But guess what? It’s still possible to get all of the time-saving and stress-busting benefits of meal prepping WITHOUT having to eat last night’s dinner!

Here’s how: instead of cooking entire meals in advance, you cook and/or prep your INGREDIENTS ahead of time.

You’ve set goals. You’re super psyched. And then you tell your family and friends about it and …

whomp whomp. 

Much to your surprise, they aren’t super psyched. In fact, they might even roll their eyes and say something like “here we go again” or “I’ll believe it when I see it.” 

And some may even get upset about your goals … because it could mean fewer nights out or changing up your family routine! 

It’s pretty normal for this to happen. 

In fact, it’s one of the top concerns I hear from n…

Don't Get Ahead of Yourself

photo-1529079018732-bdb88456f8c2

“Don’t get ahead of yourself.”

That phrase used to drive me crazy when I was a kid! It felt like grown-ups were always trying to hold me back.

But they weren’t. They wanted me to reach my goals – and I’m sharing this with you today to help YOU reach your own goals.

→ The only thing you can control is what you do TODAY.

It’s human nature to want to speed ahead – to focus on where you want to be, instead of where you are now.

But the fastest route to your goals is to focus on TODAY.

Your act…

Keep Going!

Keep going!

If you’re struggling right now with your goals, it’s NORMAL. 

Keep going.

If you’ve slipped up with your “clean eating” goals, make sure the VERY NEXT thing you eat is a healthy choice. Remember: you’re always just one meal or snack from a healthy diet.

If you’re feeling *this close* to giving up any of your other healthy habits – just keep going.

It’s not about striving for perfection. NO ONE is perfect – we ALL struggle. It’s part of being human.

But what separates those who …

The Main Thing is to Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing

Have you noticed how New Year’s resolutions have this way of turning into gigantic projects?

You tell yourself: “I’m going to start working out 3 times a week.”

Then suddenly you realize you need to get some new sneakers, a new set of workout clothes, and maybe even shop for some protein powder while you’re at it.

The list keeps growing — and before you know it? It’s February and you haven’t even started.

The thing is, the new workout clothes, the shoes, the protein powder… It's all just bus…

Your Mindset and Your Results

I read an interesting study the other day that uncovered something pretty incredible about how our bodies work. 

Take a look at this…

Scientists gave a group of people a shake to drink.

Half of the group was told the shake was LOW in calories and nutrients...

While the other half was told it was HIGH in calories and nutrients.

As you might have guessed, everyone was given the exact same shake.

Now here’s where it gets interesting. 

The group who thought they got the low-calorie shake was …

Confessions

I’ve got a big confession for you today … and yes, this happens to coaches, too.

The other day I was just not into being “healthy.” I wasn’t in the mood for the lunch I made … the dinner I planned … or getting outside for some fresh air.

I don’t know why, exactly, but I was dreading it, and I kept finding things to do INSTEAD of what I had originally planned.

It wasn’t because I needed a day off. It was just one of those days.

So here’s what I did …

I laced up my sneakers and went outside f…
