We’re a week into 2020, do you have your resolutions in place? Don’t worry, me either. I won’t lie, I was thinking about how I have things I would like to accomplish in 2020 and started to panic that I haven’t had the chance to get these things written down...
What do you think is most important when it comes to what you’re eating and trying to become healthier or lose weight? Is it the amount (quantity) of food you’re eating? Or is it the type (quality) of food you consume?
Last week, I went through SMART goal setting step by step. This week I’ll explain more about putting those SMART goals into practice by differentiating between short term goals, long term goals, and even weekly or progress goals.
Here we are at week 2 of my goal setting series.
Last week I asked you to think about goals that you’ve set in the past, if they’ve worked or not, and discovering your “why’“ behind whatever it is that you’re looking to do.
In this week’s post I’m going to give you the bulk of information you need in order to set goals that you’ll be able to realistically attain. Your goals are the first step towards making desirable changes, so do it right!
This month I’ll be talking about goal setting, why it’s important, the best strategies to set goals, and other ways to ensure you reach your goals. So to start out, why do we even need them?!
I listened to a podcast this week that really got my attention and it was just too good not to share. Ben Bergeron is a well-known coach in the CrossFit community and works with some of the greatest athletes in the world. However, this podcast is applicable to every single person, whether you’re into fitness and CrossFit or not.
The name of this podcast is Chasing Excellence and the title of the episode I’m sharing is “Embrace the Chase.” While I won’t give away all of the good stuff because I want you to listen, I’ll give you some of the general ideas.
Failure has been a topic on my mind lately. This may sound completely negative, but really I’m thinking about failure as part of being driven and successful. I’m not only accepting my failures, but I’m embracing them.
As of next week I’ll be participating in a fairly strict nutrition challenge. Monday is quickly approaching and I slightly began to panic. The nutrition chick, panicking about a nutrition challenge?! Yeah, it’s a thing.
I started thinking of a few things that I knew would be beneficial to do before the challenge started, and then I got to thinking even more… I’m sure other people would find this helpful too, so now, my solution to my own problem has turned into a blog post!
Excuses, way too common…
It seems as if excuses are getting easier to come up with and eating healthy, exercising, and taking care of our bodies is becoming more difficult. That’s all simply perception and I think we all need to give ourselves a little reality check now and then.
