Quick Tip for Sugar Cravings

Hydrate!  Sugar cravings often arise because of dehydration. When you feel a craving, first drink a few glasses of water. A good health habit is to start your day by drinking water and having a smoothie for breakfast. This practice will hydrate your system, give your body easily digestible nutrients, and set you up for healthy eating for the rest of the day! Look to incorporate at least half your body weight in ounces of water into your daily regime.  For example, if you weigh 120 pounds aim for at least 60 ounces of filtered water each day!

10 Life Lessons Learned From Running

Seems fitting today after my 6+ mile run in this amazing Fall weather! I didn't start to enjoy running until college; now it's a form of therapy for me. It allows me to release everything I've been holding inside and really feel in tune with my body! 



10 Life Lessons Learned From Running: 

1. Beginning is always the hardest part. Push yourself to keep going. It gets easier.

2. Consistency creates habits, and habits create the results to want to achieve.

3. If you want to get better, pain is unavoidable. Don't shy away from it.

4. If you don't get out of your comfort zone, you'll never achieve your goals.

5. People who do things better than you are your teachers, not your competition.

6. Often, thinking you can't go on any longer is a illusion. You often can.

7. Sometimes things don't go as planned. Accept it and move on.

8. When you're going uphill and you want to quit, don’t. Move slower if you have to, but keep going. You will get there.

9. Happiness shouldn't be put on hold until you cross the finish line. Enjoy as much as you can along the way, even when the going gets tough.

10. Don’t let your desire for improvement rob you of pride in small victories!

Success in 5

Want to know 5 things that super successful people do before 8:00 AM? They are not hard, but it will take 21 days to make them a habit! 

1. Exercise: Look at majority of super successful people and you will find that they get their workout in and out of the way early in the AM. This sets the tone for the day, gets their mind and body a boost of energy, and you will not skip it this way. Have your gym bag ready so you can just grab and go in the morning! You could even sleep in your workout clothes to save time! LOL! I have before! 

2. Plan your Day: Always work from a to do list and plan out your day. I use the notepad my phone so it's always with me. You could even do this the night before. 


 3. Eat a Healthy Breakfast: It's crazy how many people skip breakfast because they are running out the door late for work. Take some extra time in the morning to fit in breakfast. OR plan your meals on Sunday for the week and this should never be an issue! Here is a quick and easy breakfast recipe:

4. Eat that Frog: Get the hardest task on your to do list DONE first so it's not in your head all day and you start procrastinating. Get it done now so you do not have to worry about it!

5. Visualization: I do this a lot and it works! Powerful! Try to take a few minutes to visualize your day and if you are writing down goals, visualize yourself achieving them!

AND remember to say your morning affirmations! Wake up loving yourself and start the day with a positive mindset!


There you go! 5 things that ANYONE can do if they want to start being mega successful in their lives!
