You Are The Result Of You
YOU. Right now, how you feel, how you look, how you are…is a result of everything YOU have (have not) done. Today, yesterday, last week, last year, the last 20 years.

“If your goals don’t scare you; they aren’t big enough” I like the quote, but I also think that “scare” might not be the ideal word.

Everyone knows they need to get more protein, right? We have been pretty clear on that. I often hear “I can’t get enough at breakfast!” “I don’t have time to make eggs”… First, there is no “rule” that you must have breakfast foods at breakfast, and breakfast only. However, I get it – we wantContinue reading “You CAN Get Protein at Breakfast With These 9 Options”
Sit More Than 50% of the Day? You Need These 6 Exercises
When we hear about exercises for sitting all day, we often hear about stretches for the hips and low back. Hardly ever addressed, is the upper back – especially the thoracic spine. When we sit at our desk, computer, in our car, or for 20 minutes at a time on the toilet mindlessly browsing InstagramContinue reading “Sit More Than 50% of the Day? You Need These 6 Exercises”
