May Challenge - Track it!

We all have a health and fitness goal. For some it is a favourite pair of jeans, others a personal best in an athletic feat, while some want to avoid the seasonal viruses that sideline them for a week. 

Having goals is important...reaching them is ideal. 

Food is medicine if consumed properly. It fuels and it heals the body. While exercise strengthens and dumps awesome feel-good chemicals into the body. 

Whatever, your goal, keeping a log (tracking) fuel and workouts will help you to understand what is going on. Journals/logs not only assist in keeping you accountable they also aid in identifying where you are going wrong AND right. 

Had a bad workout? Felt exhausted? What did you eat beforehand? How much have you slept? 

Woke up feeling like a million bucks? What have you been doing? 

Keeping track of what you put into your body and how/when you move it will give you insight into that brilliant machine you walk around in every day. 

For the month of May: track your activities and your food. 

See you in June!

Stay happy & healthy!

January Challenge - make a plan

This is the time of year most folks resolve to make a change. It can be daunting with an all or nothing approach. This month break down your resolutions into bite sized plans. If you have resolved to lose weight, make that goal achievable by adding or removing 1 thing a week. An example would be to add fitness into your routine. Week one, plan for 2 workouts, in week two increase your workouts to 3 and so on.  Planning is essential. To resolve is a general announcement, to plan is to schedule and to complete a 'task' in a specific time frame. Best of planning! See you in February. 

Stay happy and healthy
