Are you always hungry?

Let's keep today's post short and sweet, shall we? You're busy and on the go and need quick tips to keep your energy up, right? But no matter how hard you try to be healthy...you're always still hungry. What's the deal, you ask? Well let's look at your food choices...are you choosing snacks and meals with fiber and/or protein? Are you eating enough to sustain your active lifestyle? And are you interval eating...that is every 2-3hrs, having a nosh to rev up that metabolism!? If you're not doing these things, then yes you're going to set yourself up for the "hungries"! Make sure your healthy snacks are well balanced nutrition, read your labels, not too much sugar, full of fiber, vitamins, minerals and protein! Balanced food, sustainable energy, balanced life! It all starts with the choice to B-FIT4U! You got this!

Back to School Basics

Seems like Summer was here and then it went, and somewhere in between you fell off your routine of healthy eating. Well there is no time like the present to get back into a routine. Whether you're back to work or back to school, keeping a schedule is the best way to adopt and keep healthy habits. Sleep, drinking enough water/staying hydrated, eating every 2-3hrs to keep your metabolism revved up and your mind sharp, and making sure your meals and snacks are portion controlled (1 serving) are all you need to keep with your B-FIT4U lifestyle. Add 20-30 minutes of exercise and you're staying on top of your healthy game! Of course you can exercise more, but if you efficiently and effectively get a shorter routine in with more reps you are getting a great workout! AND your more likely to do it and stick to it more often...work towards everyday! If you have time to TiVo, you have time to get a quick workout in while watching that show. Consistency in all these things, healthy eating, good nights sleep, exercise are key to your success! You got this! Post these tips on your fridge and check them off mentally each day. Are you taking the time to B-FIT4U?

Wake up, sleepyhead zzzzz

Did you know that getting a good night's sleep is half the battle when trying to fight the "snack attacks"!? Yep, if you're overtired, you are more likely to overeat the not so good for you stuff and find your willpower napping zzzz. You don't need that! You have to make sleep as big a priority as working out and eating healthy because you're not going to have energy for either of these things if you don't get adequate sleep. So turn off the screen, phone, iPads etc. at least 30 minutes before you hit the sheets to start quieting that busy mind. Be quiet with your thoughts and try meditation to calm your soul. As you find yourself reuniting with a great nights sleep, you will find your willpower soar during the day, giving you the energy to make great food choices for your B-FIT4U lifestyle :)
