BACK TO ROUTINE! LETS BEGIN IT WITH THE RIGHT FOOT.. Back to School tips for better Routine

Instead of pushing the snooze button three times before finally rolling out of bed, why not try something new tomorrow morning? Just one (or all!) of these tips will amp up your morning routine and set you up for a fabulous day.

1. Get in enough cuddle time

Your outlook will be infinitely brighter if you take a few minutes to snuggle and hold onto something or someone you love in the morning. Be that a child, dog, cat, teddy bear, or significant other, studies show that the act of cuddling is very calming, boosts your immune system, reduces stress, and will help you wake up at the right speed. So lets hug for 2 Mins! 

2. Drink your Lemon with Water then Tea

This practice is a game changer. By drinking water with lemon early in the morning, will help detoxify as well as to clean your liver, to absorb better the nutrients and have your organs work as optimum as they can. Hot water with lemon is a nice alternative that won’t tax your adrenals. It is said to flush toxins out of your system and stimulate good digestion. Plus, it’s so darn good!

3. Write out morning pages

IIN visiting teacher Julia Cameron encourages everyone to handwrite morning pages – three pages of free-flow stream of consciousness first thing in the morning. They will help you get ready for your day by getting all your thoughts on paper and put you in touch with your subconscious feelings so they can inform you on how to prioritize your day. Multi-tasking tip: you can write your morning pages while you’re drinking your Water!

4. Drink your Tea and Shake!

Do you usually start your day by reaching for a cup of coffee? Then another just so you can get out of bed? Try by taking your tea.. take a Shower then in 2 mins your shake will be ready. More than 21 Vitamins and Minerals packed with the Protein = Perfect Breakfast; ready to go and will make you start a day in the perfect balance to keep going. Follow it with your meal plan. Any goal you setup, look at it everyday and ENJOY it!

5. Practice sun salutations- 15 Minutes of intense Exercise or RUN

Sun salutations in yoga are extremely energizing and uplifting; they awaken both the body and mind. They’re also a great way to experience a sense of gratitude – after all, you’re literally saluting the sun! Plus they get your blood pumping and lymphatic system moving. Read through this Yoga Journal article to learn the how’s and why’s of Surya Namaskar. Or go RUN before you are wide awake and able to say NO within your inner voice that tells you that you can't. REMEMBER TO DO EXERCISE WITHOUT EVEN DOUBTING 

6. Meditate

Five minutes of sitting and observing your breath can do wonders for your mental state! Meditation calms your mind and nervous system and boosts your immune system – a total win-win! When you first start meditating, sit in a comfortable cross-legged position with your back against the wall so you don’t slouch. Set a timer, close your eyes and observe your breath.  

7. Get organized the night before

Making your lunch, packing your bag, and laying out your clothes at night will save you time and decrease your morning stress. Just think – no more running around trying to find your keys, changing your outfit three times and driving fast to make it in time! Plan your agenda for the next day, the week.. it will decrease anxiety as well as will give you the 15-30 mins of exercise!

8. Get enough sleep to begin with!

We know this is the hard part! But not sleeping enough contributes to hormonal imbalances, weight issues, headaches, memory, and cognitive impairment.  Yikes! Make it a priority to get in bed earlier and you’ll wake up feeling well rested, instead of cranky and exhausted.

Wake up just half an hour earlier to try any or all of these steps – you might be amazed by the results. Here’s to a productive, happy morning that will set the tone for your whole day!

What’s your favorite morning routine? Did we miss any here? Share them with us in the comments section below this post.

TIPS for a Fitness Makeover - Moms AND ANY WORKING ADULT

Many moms and Adults forget to take care of their basic needs to ensure that they remain healthy.

Skipping meals, missing workouts and not finding time for skin care, over time, can have a negative impact on your health and body confidence. It’s time for a fitness mommy makeover plan so that you can look and feel your best. A mom that feels good, is a Family that will be Good. Your habits will transfer to your kids, and the ones around you. Make sure you spread the positive ;)

TIPS for a Fitness Makeover:

Set a Fitness Goal

Improving your overall fitness level can positively impact you and the children you love so much. As your fitness improves, you will be able to better keep up with them and their busy schedule. Set a personal goal.Do you want to be stronger, faster, have more endurance, improve your energy level, or all of the above? If you set a goal to get active and write it down, taking the action steps to achieve it will be much easier.

Treat Yourself to a Fitness Gadget or App

Now that you have set a goal for yourself, think of a way that you can monitor your progress. Investing in simple gadgets, such as a pedometer or heart rate monitor, may help keep you motivated and enable you to celebrate your improvements. There are several free apps for smart phones, too, so spend some time to explore what technology will best suit your needs.

I personally Use Nike + to make sure I see my runs and have the coach Voice to keep me on my toes, then I do 15 mins of weights or planks and basic stretching.

Look for an Event to Participate in:

Having something active to look forward to on a weekly or monthly basis and, better yet, doing it with a friend, will help keep you on track with your fitness plan. There are so many fun fitness events to consider: 5k runs, charity events, local dance classes, and many more. Treating yourself to a special occasion is a great way to re energize after a long week.

Take Mini Breaks

Find time everyday for a mini fitness break. A five minute workout on your busy days is better than doing nothing at all. Every second counts when it comes to getting fit and relieving your stress level. With so many mini workouts online from which to choose, you have no excuses. My fit tips on YouTube will help you get started.

Schedule Some M-“OM” Time

By ‘OM’ I mean yoga, stretching, breathing and meditation. Its great if you can do some every day before bed or whenever you are feeling stressed out and overwhelmed. It’s amazing how refreshing taking five deep breaths can be, especially when the little ones are testing your patience. A stretch out session before you go to bed may improve your sleep, too.

5 Workouts.

In order to shape up and get fit, you need to engage in a well-rounded fitness plan that includes cardio, strength, flexibility and endurance. Squeezing in a workout, even if it is short, is better than doing nothing at all. Here are five routines that you can try to add to your week, based on how much time you have available.

One move 5 min challenge:

This one single move will work all of your muscles.

10 minute jump rope:

Find your inner child and challenge your coordination with this fun jump rope routine.

https://youtu.be/nh-wWMm3sSU?list=PLB3ZV-mBfQYxN2KQkFxTsxcaSZ4HUz5P8

20 minute cardio:

This athletic routine will get your heart rate up and help to build strength.

https://youtu.be/3ycj0EInDFo?list=PLB3ZV-mBfQYxN2KQkFxTsxcaSZ4HUz5P8

40 minute running and conditioning:

Put on your running shoes and get outside to run.The fresh air will give you a boost, too.

https://youtu.be/OYDzHvjIQ_o

10 minute stretch and stress reliever:

This stretching routine can be added to the end of any workout or done as a stand alone routine to help relieve stress.

https://youtu.be/tZmbLaZUmPw?list=PLB3ZV-mBfQYxN2KQkFxTsxcaSZ4HUz5P8

Stress and inactivity are two health risk factors that you can make a conscious effort to eliminate from your life. I hope you can find a way to do your own fitness makeover because dedicating some time each day for self improvement may make you a better parent, partner or colleague at work.

NUTRITION FOR PREGNANT WOMEN & BREASTFEEDING WOMEN

Hi everyone!

Here are some of the products I highly reccomend to have an Optimum time during your pregnancy and provide your baby with the BEST NUTRITION possible, aside from all the veggies, Protein and Water you consume daily!

When consuming the products, I will make sure you dont have any other issues, and if you do, we can always refer back to the Doctor's and look at your Lab values in order to provide you with the Best Coaching Service. Remember the FREE Health Evaluation is for your benefit of knowing what YOU need, what can I do for you and what I reccomend for you and your baby!
If you are breastfeeding, you can still use the same products. I used them until my 15 month old baby stopped breastfeeding. I was able to provide her with Great Nutrition and I had energy for my two Toddlers ;)


Here is the list:

• 
  
• 
• Formula 1 shakes with added Personalized Protein Powder as an added supplement not a replacement, one in the morning and one before bed as I always got up starving in the middle of the night since pregnant. I found that by taking my shake in the morning as soon as I got up took away any sickly feeling I had and then I was able to eat ‘Regular Food ‘ an hr later.
• Fiber supplements to help with digestion when put on iron tablets by the doctor, the fiber helped stay regular.
  

  • Supports growth of friendly intestinal bacteria*
  • Promotes regularity and healthy bowel movement*
  • 5g of balanced soluble and insoluble fiber
  • Add to Formula 1 for a thicker,smoother shake
• Multi Vitamins for 100% Vitamin intake, which also helped skin, hair & nails get stronger.
• Herbalifeline for the baby’s brain development, heart and also is great for leg cramps.Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of heart disease and support joint health.
• Formula1 Meal bars in my bag for when I was out and about.
• The Herbal Aloe Mango juice as I found it hard to drink a lot of water but since adding aloe mango I could drink a bath of water.
  

  • Soothes the stomach
  • Supports healthy digestion
  • Relieves occasional indigestion
  • Supports nutrient absorption and intestinal health
• When in need of Energy, use the NRG Tea
  
  • Provides a gentle boost
  • Reduces fatigue
  • Instant tea mix with 0 calories.

TESTIMONIALS
"Herbalife Nutrition products are the best products on the planet. They are packed with vitamins and minerals and are fantastic in pregnancy. My best friend was 5 months pregnant when she started using the products for excellent nutrition. And she found that none of her symptoms from her previous pregnancy occurred on this one. She had amazing energy throughout the rest of her pregnancy and the birth was much better and she was much stronger to deliver. Herbalife Nutrition is safe for adults, children and babies in the womb. In fact its a great way of ensuring that you are getting all the vital nutrients you require to grow a baby. Food just isn't what it used to be. I wish i had been taking the products when pregnant on my three children. I intend to keep taking my products for the rest of my life and hopefully when i conceive again I'll continue taking them."http://www.steadyhealth.com/herbalife_products_and_pregnancy_t193147.html


***Herbalife produces many different products for various needs, though many people use the protein shakes for weight management or fitness goals. The most important thing to remember during your pregnancy is that dieting is not recommended. Extra calories are needed each day for your body and your developing baby. Restricting these calories could cause problems for you and your baby’s growth due to malnutrition. Diet products, such as Herbalife weight management supplements and protein shakes, are not prohibited during pregnancy unless you’re using them to diet, or relying on them every day for your nutritional needs. Please consult your physician before adding supplements to your pregnancy diet.

OTHER PRODUCTS:

The Protein bars and Roasted Soy Beans are a brill snack I kept about 3 of each my bag at a time and nibble on them when I was hungry.

Hydrate from the herbalife 24 range which I love as it ensures my body was always hydrated, and dehydration can be very dangerous when pregnant.

I also use all of the Herbal Aloe Vera personal care range as its all natural, sulphate and paraben free and iv been using the Herbalife body scrub & contouring crème and I have no strechmarks, which I still cant believe as my bump was huge. I was 160 pounds with my first baby, then was 145 until my second pregnancy when I started the Nutrition. Now I am 110 lbs and working on my flat stomach ;)

LOW CALORIE MEALS By Bob Harper

 "Skinny Meals: Everything You Need to Lose Weight -- Fast!" is chock full of 100 new recipes, all under 350 calories. We asked Bob to share some of his favorites.

Eggs Florentine

Will you take a look at that photo? Doesn't it look like something you could serve for a brunch with pride and confidence? Well, go ahead! But don't forget to make this just for yourself sometimes, too.

Sauce:

¼ cup plain 2% fat Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon chopped fresh dill

½ teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Eggs:

2 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach

1 whole wheat English muffin, toasted

3+1 or 5+1 large eggs, scrambled

Directions:

Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside so that it has a chance to come to room temperature while you are preparing the spinach and eggs.

In a steamer, steam the spinach for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until just wilted. Drain any excess water. Set aside.

Top the toasted English muffin with the spinach and eggs; delicately spoon the sauce on top.

Nutrition information: 313 calories, 30g protein, 32g carbs, 8g fat, 6g fiber

Bob says:

"Instead of making a traditional Hollandaise sauce (a sinfully rich combination of egg yolks and melted butter that hurts my heart just thinking about it), I've lightened things up using Greek yogurt. I don't think you're going to miss 'real' Hollandaise. This is going to become your go-to sauce for life."

10 simple weight-loss tips

Avocado toast

Replace the fatty butter and sugary jam you used to pile on your toast with this abundance of natural flavors, good fats and protein, and you will have a well-balanced meal to kick-start your day! It's low-calorie, high-protein and oh, so good.

Ingredients:

¼ avocado

Pinch of paprika

½ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 slice whole-wheat or Ezekiel bread, toasted

4 hard-boiled large egg whites, chopped

1 ½ teaspoons finely diced shallots

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped

Dash of freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

In a small bowl, mash and mix the avocado, paprika and lemon juice. Spread on the toast.

In the same small bowl, mix together the egg whites, shallots, mustard, capers and pepper.

Pile the egg white mixture on top of the avocado-smeared toast and enjoy!

Nutrition information: 221 calories, 20g protein, 20g carbs, 8g fat, 6g fiber

Bob says:

"Like most busy people, I tend to automate my weekday breakfasts. I have one or two recipes that I repeat, saving the slightly more complicated preparations for weekends, when I have more time to cook. Avocado toast is one I just have to have several times a week! To save even more time in the morning, double the chopped egg white, caper, shallot and Dijon mixture the first day of the week you make this breakfast; it'll keep in your refrigerator, and then all you have to do is pile it on your toast with the mashed avocado."

Junk-food fakes: Healthy alternatives to fast food

Terrific tuna salad

Pairing the protein of tuna with the carbs of pasta and all these delicious briny add-ins makes a memorable and hearty lunchtime meal.

Ingredients:

4 ounces canned tuna, drained

1 teaspoon capers, rinsed

½ shallot, minced

1 tablespoon pitted Kalamata olives

½ cup cooked whole-wheat corkscrew pasta

¼ cup quartered cherry tomatoes

1 cup chopped arugula

1 cup chopped fresh spinach

Directions:

In a medium bowl, mix the tuna, capers, shallot and olives.

Toss the pasta, tomatoes, arugula and spinach with the tuna mixture.

Nutrition information: 288 calories, 28g protein, 26g carbs, 10g fat, 5g fiber

Bob says:

"When shopping for canned ingredients, like tuna, be sure to purchase the low-sodium version. There's no short supply of other salty flavors in this dish: Capers and olives both naturally add a little salty punch to every bite. For a little extra crunch, you could also dice up a tart apple and mix it into this lunch."

Eating out? Best, worst food choices

Zucchini noodles with avocado cream sauce

Carb-free noodles, hooray! Thinly sliced zucchini will work in any recipe that calls for pasta. It pairs beautifully with any "skinny" sauce.

Ingredients:

1 large zucchini

4 ounces roasted boneless, skinless chicken breast, warmed before plating

Avocado cream sauce:

¼ avocado

1 cup arugula

¼ cup chopped fresh basil

¼ cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon crushed garlic

2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Slice the zucchini very thinly lengthwise. Then cut each piece into thirds lengthwise to resemble thick noodles. Steam the "noodles" for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are just cooked through.

Meanwhile, blend the avocado, arugula, basil, broth, lemon juice, garlic and Parmesan in a food processor or blender.

Toss the "noodles" with the sauce and the cubed chicken and serve.

Nutrition information: 258 calories, 27g protein, 19g carbs, 11g fat, 8g fiber

Bob says:

"If you have a mandoline, use that to slice the zucchini thinly (but watch your fingertips!). If not, use a sharp knife and cut precisely."

Got cravings? Snack 'em down!

Chimichurri steak

Chimichurri is an Argentinean sauce similar to pesto. You will often see it with more olive oil than herbs, but to make it skinny, Harper swapped the base and created a more herbaceous condiment.

Ingredients:

Olive oil spray

1 cup sliced bell peppers

¼ red onion, thinly sliced

3 plum tomatoes, quartered

2 cups chopped fresh spinach

4 ounces lean round steak

Chimichurri sauce:

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint

½ garlic clove

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth

Directions:

Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the skillet with olive oil spray and add the bell peppers and red onion. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes and spinach. Heat through, stirring, until the spinach wilts. Remove the vegetables and set aside.

Place the steak in the hot skillet and cook for at least 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, combine the parsley, cilantro, mint, garlic, lemon juice and broth in a food processor or blender and process until coarsely blended.

Cut the steak into strips and serve on top of the vegetables. Drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the steak.

Nutrition information: 262 calories, 29g protein, 20g carbs, 10g fat, 5g fiber

Bob says:

"Chimichurri isn't only for Argentineans. It's popular throughout South America. And chimichurri isn't only for steak; you can use this as a marinade for any protein, as a sauce for lunch pasta, as a topping on eggs or as a dressing."

Can you really control where you lose fat?

BENEFICIOS DE UNA BUENA ALIMENTACION

Si deseas acelerar tu metabolismo para quemar esas calorías que tienes de más, consume con regularidad huevo, frijoles, leche y té verde. - See more at: http://hoynotas.com/2014/05/31/estos-alimentos-para-reducir-de-peso/#sthash.QHLTQETa.dpuf

Huevo: Al ser un alimento rico en proteína te ayudará a sentirte satisfecha por más tiempo, así no tendrás tanta hambre. Además, el huevo contiene un elemento que hace que tu deseo por consumir cosas dulces sea menos frecuente.

Frijoles: Son ricos en ‘Colecistocinina’, que son supresores naturales del apetito, te harán sentirte satisfecha, te ayudarán a mantener estable las concentraciones de azúcar en la sangre y a reducir los niveles de colesterol malo.

Ensaladas: La clave de éstas, independientemente de las verduras que elijas, son la cantidad; cuando comes muchas ensaladas (libres de aderezos) bajarás de peso, debido a que el estómago se distiende y el cerebro recibe una señal de saciedad.

Té verde: Es una de las fuentes más importantes en antioxidantes. Además, contiene ‘Catequinas’, propiedades que aceleran el metabolismo y promueven la utilización de grasa como fuente de energía.

Leche: El calcio es capaz de inhibir el almacenamiento de grasa en el cuerpo y te ayudará a disminuir la grasa que frecuentemente se almacena en el abdomen de hombres y mujeres. Claro, la leche debe ser descremada, para gozar de estos beneficios.

Alimentos que no deberíamos comer en la noche

Los alimentos que no deberíamos comer en la noche son:

-carnes rojas: las proteínas y grasas de la carne tardan más en digerirse por lo que puede generar una digestión más lenta y que se altere el sueño.

-helados: este postre contiene azúcar y grasa que pueden alterar la digestión y provocar insomnio.

-pizza: este alimento tan rico tiene muchas calorías que no se gastaran durante la noche. Pero además en la cena la salsa de tomate que se le coloca a la pizza puede generar malestares estomacales por la acidez que contiene lo que casi no ocurre durante el día.

-apio, alcachofa, perejil: estas verduras tienen cualidades diuréticas por lo que pueden hacer que nos levantemos para ir al baño a orinar varias veces en la noche interrumpiendo el sueño.

-pasta y arroz: estos alimentos son mejores consumidos durante el día para evitar engordar.
