Want to Know What a Cheat Day Does?
  
I am often asked why I'm not a fan of "cheat days" while trying to lose weight and get healthy and fit. Well you if you really are already a healthy weight, lower body fat and no medical issues, a "cheat day" is really no big deal. But if you are not in a healthy weight range, it's like one step forward, two steps back. Think about eating properly for six days, then having your cheat day. Depending on what you do, you just wiped out those 6 good days, and your metabolism has slowed down.

 The stories I am told by people who cheat, and say, "That wasn't a big deal." It is! 4 to 6 Mountain Dews in an afternoon. 7 beers in 45 minutes. A whole cake. A slab of ribs, ice cream and sodas, with all the sides in one meal. A bag of cookies. A pound of bacon. (no it wasn't me...but I've been tempted). You see when people cheat, they really cheat. When Kimberley and I cheat, it normally means something different, like the Italian meatloaf I made last weekend. It doesn't mean a ton of sugar or trash foods. Yes we have ice cream very occasionally, but Kimberley makes it from scratch and with fresh fruit and other ingredients.
  
We will be having cooking classes, grocery store group trips and nutrition coaching classes starting in September. Stay tuned!

Comradery

I wrote an article not too long ago along the same lines as this, but an event at the end of last week prompted me to retouch on this topic. We all know what the main uses for a gym are. Working out, getting healthy, losing weight, working with a trainer etc. It's the main focus at a gym, I mean; after all, it is a gym. Why else would you go?
 
It has occurred to me before and again last week that there is an often overlooked aspect of the gym. An
aspect that I personally deem as important as being healthy because, it contributes to your health. That
aspect is COMRADERY! That's right, comradery. By definition comradery is the spirit of friendship and community in a group, like the comradery of soldiers at war who keep each other upbeat despite the difficulty of their circumstances. A comrade is someone who springs to mind when you think "We're in this together", or "I have your back", or "anything you need".

 HEAL3!

Did you ever watch that crazy "American Ninja Warrior" show?  Often I think of life being like that!  You manage to get over one obstacle and then hit another....from moving monkey bars to a snake walk that shifts unexpectedly...or that KRAZY invisible ladder!  (Guess I got hooked last night.  These are mostly ordinary people who decided to take a challenge and turn it into something personal!  WOW!)

I am really hoping that this current challenge of the uni-boot over an ankle to help it heal is on the down-swing to a perfect landing (and hitting that victory buzzer).  It's not done yet, and although I think there will still be some discomfort (make that pain) with each visit because of the debridement , my overall stress is GREATLY decreased!  This has been an unexpected journey, and I REALLY miss being able to push my workouts.

8 Tips to Shop By...

1. Plan your meals - This will save additional costly trips to the grocery store and help prevent making unhealthy food choices.

2. Use Coupons - eating healthy isn't cheap, but it's worth the investment. Incorporate sale foods into your meal planning.

3. DON'T SHOP HUNGRY - An empty stomach will lead to impulse buying of simple carbs. Not the type of shopping you want to do on an impulse. Save that for shoes!
 
4. Stay on the perimeter of the grocery store - All of the "junk" is located in the center of almost all grocery stores.

5. Mix it up! - A variety in your meal planning will steer you away from wanting to eat junk!
