Flex Time Fitness

Veggie stir fry! Super simple and quick to make: I used eggplant, carrots, red bell pepper and corn. Drizzled with olive oil and pepper. Cool for about 15 min and BOOM. Meal complete :)

Food For Thought:

Add lemon to your water and even as an ingredient in some of your meals!  It adds a great taste and provides many health benefits!  <3

Eat Smart :)

Fitness Tip: The Right Carbs for Weight Loss - Eat complex carbohydrates instead of simple sugars for a leaner body. Your body is in constant need of carbohydrates to be converted into glucose and used as fuel. When your body has extra glucose, it will be stored as fat for later use. Complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, legumes, and vegetables, take longer to break down into glucose and will therefore be less likely to be stored as fat as compared to simple carbohydrates such as table sugar or fruit sugar.

You can do anything you put your mind to!! My client who has been with me for about two months hit a fitness milestone!! Started off doing wall push-ups and now she is pushing out 3 sets of full push ups! Keep that determination and persistence!! It pays off!

One way to know that you’re eating clean is to look at your plate and see if you can recognize how these things look in nature and how many steps it takes to look like how it does on your plate. The less steps, the better! For example - the avocado looks like an avocado. All I had to do was peel it. CLEAN. The tomatoes look exactly how tomatoes look in nature. CLEAN. You get my point. The chicken looks like chicken meat, not a processed form of “meat”. In this case it’s been grilled! One of the healthiest ways to prepare food. The more raw you can eat, the better in general. Keep it simple and less processed when it comes to eating clean! Do you guys have trouble doing this or is it easy for you?

Love this blog!  Great read.

Make time for exercise!

Sure, we all live crazy busy lives.  Whether it be a hectic job that requires overtime and weekends or 3 kids that are involved in 10 different after school activities, be sure and make some kind of time for exercise.  Remember that living a healthy and active lifestyle not only helps with stress but also let’s you live a longer life.  30-60 min is not a lot of time out of a 24 hour day if you really break it down!  Do it from home, at a gym or outside….just do it!!
