Five ways you can help with relief-and-recovery efforts in Oklahoma.
We are all saddened by the Tornado that rocked OK yesterday. Here is how you can help the victims. $10 is doable for all of us to chip in.
Ellen’s response to the ‘Abercrombi& Fitch’ statement.
love her
FITCH PLEASE
And I thought my love for her couldn’t get any bigger.
Healthy and happy, preach it Ellen !!!
It really is this simple…. but nobody said it’s easy. Planning is your best friend in health and in business. Schedule, schedule, schedule!
- Sleep is so important. Studies have shown that if you are sleep deprived your hormones tend to be off. Have you ever noticed when you’re tired, you’re more likely to look for comfort through food? That’s not and accident! Additionally, when you’re tired you are less likely to be motivated to prepare your meals ahead of time or exercise. Sleeplessness can be quite counterproductive. Try to go to bed at the same time each night, power down the electronics at least one hour before bed time, dim the lights, ditch caffeine by 3:00, and try to rise at the same time each day.
- Eat clean: you know the drill! Shop the perimeter of the store, try to buy organic when you can, keep your foods simple, look for items that don’t need an ingredients list, eat lean proteins, whole grains (if you do grains), and keep your diet heavy on the veggies.
- Water: drink half your body weight in ounces - add more for hot weather or sweaty activities.
- Exercise: some is always better than none. Try for at least three days per week, but preferably five days.
- REPEAT! Consistency is key!
A healthy lifestyle is merely a series of habits. Over time they become as natural as brushing your teeth - you feel GROSS if you don’t do it! Keep yourself organized so you don’t feel stressed out about adding these activities to your schedule. Use a planner or your cell phone to help you keep a To-Do List. Make out your list either the night before or first thing in the morning and include at least two items that will help you with your health and fitness, the items that you MUST do or there will be dire consequences, and two items that will propel you ahead in either your work or your schooling.
Really it comes down to the good old Nike philosophy: JUST DO IT!
Maybe this is all you need on your vision board. That and “don’t be a dick”. That’s my only addition.
Seriously. Don’t stop.
I have THE BEST Mom. I know, everyone thinks that. But seriously this lady is the best.
She has taught me that there are three sides of every story. Respect and understand someone who is different than you. To believe in myself and follow my heart and dreams no matter where they take me. And to always have unconditional love for those around me. Oh and she can ALWAYS find anything I have lost in 5 seconds.
Cheers to this beautiful, fun, silly, caring, amazing woman!
Happy Mother’s day to all the Moms out there!

EXACTLY.
Well whoopsie. I am the first to admit keeping this blog posted with my monthly goals I have failed it.
My bad.
But. Here are my May goals (a few weeks late).
1. Complete a 2-day Cleanse.
2. Be consistent with doing HIIT cardio 4 times a week.
3. YOGA on rest days. (I have a Groupon.. if I do not redeem it this week it expires….)
4. Spend a obscene amount of time with my family.
5. Get up to the Lake and open the cabin. Which really means a lot of manual labor and yard work. WOOF.
6. Write a review of Isagenix’s new plant based meal replacement shakes. And no they are not soy based.
7. Gather a few on my favorite clean eating recipes for the summer and post them!
That sums it up..
Check in with ya’all next month! GOALS! What are yours??

Did you check off life in the “nailed it” category today? Are you ready to up your game tomorrow? And the next day? And NEXT?
OR. MAYBE. Was today not one the your best days and either your nutrition, workouts, or both suffered? Screw it.
Tomorrow BEAT YOUR PERSONAL BEST. Whatever that is. Go into tomorrow with a goal to be consistent. Live each day better than the last.
Sprint faster, lift heavier, walk an extra mile then before.
Because you can.
You are the only person that is limiting yourself from your goal
Lets all hit a home run tomorrow. I know I AM JACKED up and ready for that alarm to go off at 6 a.m. to run sprints before I start my day and then lift after work.
XO.

It is. And chances are you will save money in the long run. AND TIME.
