Planning

Hope you are having a great day!

I wanted to share a super simple tip, its so simple it gets missed week after week.

Stop today or sometime this weekend to PLAN.

I know, right?

Before you stop reading…

Take 10-15 minutes to look at next week. 

What’s going on?

Work, Kids, Appointments, Dinner, Lunch, Workouts, Fun, etc.

Taking the time to map out a plan will save you not only time, it will save money and will save you a few heads or scheduling mishaps.

I can tell you from personal experience, the weeks Tony and I sit down and plan go SO much smoother.

It only takes a few minutes.

I know some families have fun calendars in the mud room, etc.

I personally like my weekly planner and google calendar.

Keeps both of us on the same page.

If you start each week not knowing which end is up you will continue to spiral.

Take a few minutes to set intentions for what you need and want to get done. Be realistic and then make it happen.

Workouts don’t just happen, they get scheduled and executed.

Food doesn’t magically appear in the fridge, but we can get close with some awesome services! In all sincerity we have to plan the food, prep it and store it. 

Take a moment today or this weekend and make a game plan. It will be worth every second, I promise!

Dedicated to your success,

Arin

3 ingredient- Chocolate Covered Strawberry frozen greek yogurt bites

Leave a Comment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nonfat blended strawberry Greek yogurt (not fruit on the bottom yogurt)
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons 100% fruit seedless strawberry jelly
  • 4 teaspoons mini chocolate chips

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine yogurt and jelly.
  2. Chop chocolate chips and add them to the yogurt mixture, stirring thoroughly.
  3. Spoon mixture into molds, or dollop from a spoon onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. If using molds, tap gently on counter so the yogurt levels smoothly.
  4. Add “popsicle sticks” if desired (see note).
  5. Freeze until solid. Unmold or peel from parchment immediately after removing from freezer, while still thoroughly frozen.
  6. Serve immediately or return to freezer tightly wrapped or packaged in airtight containers.

The timing on this one couldn’t be better!

For once it seems like the calendar is working in our favor.

Usually not the case…let me explain.

What I’m talking about is a quirk in the calendar that does NOT revolve around the traditional “big” holidays. These two holidays happen to be placed EXACTLY the right distance apart to suit our needs.

Humans like clarity.

A fixed length of time…

An exact recipe…

That type of thing.

Here is one of those examples.

It just so happens, there are exactly 31 days between Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day.

To make this even better, 31 days is an excellent amount of time for a weight loss Program.

21 days is OK, but a little short if you want significant results.

When you start to get to 6 or 8 weeks, sometime people can get bored and slip off track.

Nope. 31 days works really well.

A very clear start and end date with significance.

We decided to call it the “31 Day Lucky Hearts Program”.

(See what we did there? 😉 )

Here are the details:

– You MUST sign up with a friend, partner or significant other

– You will receive complete nutritional support with a meal plan, recipe book and food journal feedback.

– You can participate in as many as workouts each week as you like!

– We will provide “At Home” workouts for those times you can’t make it in

– You will get full access to our coaching staff (email, phone, etc.) throughout the program

– And before/after assessments with ultrasound technology

The cost for this entire event? $199 (you can split this between each other, too!)

We fully expect this event to fill up quickly. Keep in mind that people are signing up 2 at a time!

Reserve you a spot!

Pain

I wanted to share with you a passage from Tony Robbins book, Awaken the Giant Within:

“Though we’d like to deny it, the fact remains that what drives our behavior is instinctive reaction to pain and pleasure, not intellectual calculation.

Intellectually, we may believe that eating chocolate is bad for us, but we’ll still reach for it.

Why?

Because we’re not driven so much by what we intellectually know, but rather by what we’ve learned to link pain and pleasure to in our nervous systems. It’s our neuro-associations— the associations we’ve established in our nervous systems— that determine what we’ll do.

Although we’d like to believe it’s our intellect that really drives us, in most cases our emotions— the sensations that we link to our thoughts— are what truly drive us.”

In this part of his book he talks about pain vs pleasure in association with why we do the things we do. I found it fascinating and frustrating all at the same time.

Fascinating because we ultimately have control.

Frustrating because we don’t take control.

We stay in bad relationships because we fear the pain of the unknown. We eat things we know we should not or consume too much because we feel pleasure in the moment and fear the feeling of deprivation.

Many times, we can override the emotions but to truly win we have to address the behavior associated. We have to link the sensation of pleasure with a different behavior.

This is not easy.

With practice we can rewrite our thinking.

When it comes to eating better, we have to get past the emotions we have with the behavior. Do not fear the unknown, you know you are winning when you eat something not so good and feel crummy.

You realize the pleasure from the food item is not always worth it.

Tony’s book is fantastic and highly recommend reading if you have not already!

Let me know if you want to talk more about this topic. It’s a difficult process and painful, but always worth it.

We can help, just shoot me a message back,
