Out of Office

Hi everyone, they'll be no post this week but I'll be back soon with some more great stuff to share. Thanks

If it's free, it's for me.

Of all my favorite types of free, gluten free happens to be my favorite but the best is when an item is both. That's why one of my all time favorite "freebies" are the salsas at Chipotle. Whenever I order my meal I make sure to ask for an extra salsa on the side. Chipotle's salsas are excellent, high quality and add extra flavor to your meals. My favorite use for them is enjoying them with my eggs (but feel free to experiment). Perfectly portioned, ready to use and did I forget to mention FREE! What more can you ask for?

Thoughts on...my diet (Part 2)

3) Something always comes up

I was pumped to start my diet unfortunately my body was not as I checked into rehab for some knee pain I was having. In the past this would have been the end of my diet (yes!!!) but I decided to stick it out and see what happens. Even with limited mobility and reduced gym time I still lost weight. The best part is when my body is fully recovered I’ve reinforced some positive eating behavior. Setbacks are going to happen but that’s not your cue to jump ship. Assess the situation, brainstorm alternatives, list your new steps and execute your new solution.

 4) Consistency, consistency, consistency 

This one took time to learn. When I first started my diet I thought it was more of a Monday through Friday thing, Saturday and Sunday would come along and I’d toss my diet out the window. Being a little wiser I now plan for the weekend. Consistency is the ability to continue a pattern. It’s this set pattern of exercise and diet that will allow results to come through.

 5) Make it work (for you) 

Find what works and what doesn’t work. Notice your actions (or lack of), find the reason why and see if you can improve on the process. Your going to have success and failure, don't get discouraged. I am not a work out after work guy, I loathe it. I now go at 6:00 am rather than go later in the day. I then struggled on what to make for breakfast. I now list my breakfast meals on the fridge so I don't to have to think just measure and make. It works for me, what works for you?
