For instance ==>  Take the grocery sales flyers from the Sunday newspaper, along with all your favorite lowfat cookbooks, a sheet of paper split into six rows down and 7 columns across and your planner. 

Mark days that are especially busy and make sure that those days are the days you use my trusty ole’ crockpot. 

For each day plan out every meal including your 2-3 snacks.  Have another sheet of paper next to you to slowly put together your shopping list. 

As you add a meal, add the ingredients you need to your shopping list.

Guys!  I have found that I don’t like drinking water!  This sounds ridiculous, but everything seems tastier than drinking  water (except after a workout). Anyway, a while back I asked for tips to drink more water since my percentage is always low. I’ve heard others struggle with this so here are my new-found tips!
1. Buy a cute cup you like!
2. Super giant water bottles made me feel I would never finish drinking and it was too big in tow with the girls, diaper bag, etc. others were too small and made me feel I was drinking every minute. This is 17 oz.and seems just right!  For my weight I have to drink 5 of these cups a day. Not that daunting
3. My new goal: drink 5 of these glasses each day before I’m allowed to drink anything else!! (exception: coffee in the morning)

Great job Betsy!  As always you rock with your enthusiasm and continual processes towards your goals!!!

It’s easy to be excited about getting results, and right now, while your resolve is fresh, you probably want to give your exercise program everything you’ve got. 

But in order to go the distance, give yourself a chance to build up the intensity. 

Injuries are the primary reason that people give up on exercise.  And too much, too soon is the main reason for injuries. 

Be excited about what you’re doing.  Give it your all.  But be smart, be strategic, and stay in for the long haul.

He’s talking about strategy. 

When you you want to accomplish anything, including creating a healthy life, creating a plan is your best bet. 

It doesn’t have to be complicated. 

In fact, the more simple, the better. 

But make a plan and write it down.  Make it as specific as possible and make it realistic.

Here’s an example:  I will go to the gym 3 times this week; I will pack my lunch 4 days this week; I will get to bed by 10:00 PM every night this week; I will drink at least 8 glasses of water every day; and I will call the doctor’s office and schedule my annual physical by next Monday. 

Nothing too difficult – simple things that will add up and make a profound difference.

Will you treat yourself to the office work party? Or perhaps you’d like to save yourself to indulge when you and your significant other cook a fancy dinner together.

As long as you plan for the indulgence and stick to your diet the rest of the time, you shouldn’t have a problem meeting your weight maintenance goals.  It’s when no plan is in place that you’ll start to falter as you’ll either restrict yourself entirely and then binge because of these highly restricted feelings or you’ll start to indulge a little too much and show no self-control.

Planning sets you up for success.

Here are our best ideas for those last minute healthy stocking stuffers. 

For the athletic folks on your list, try a heart rate monitor or GPS watch. (Look at Luke’s Locker, or Whole Earth Provisions.  You don’t have to go to the mall, and they have really cool stuff.) 

For the stressed out mom or executive, how about a certificate for a massage or mani/pedi.  (Wherever you live, just look up "day spa.") 

And for the person new to fitness, we love a good pedometer.  (Omron is our favorite – you can still get it from Amazon if you order it right now and choose 1 day shipping!) 

There are so many more important things than giving gifts.  But extending yourself by giving the gift of health is a great option.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean a gym membership or the latest exercise equipment advertised on late night TV. 

We’ve got a few good ideas that might just do the trick for someone on your list. 

There are great gifts to use in the kitchen that can make cooking at home more fun.  A beautiful set of knives, cookware, healthy cookbooks , a salad spinner, a vitamix, or some unusual spices. 

Or give something that will help your loved one de-stress:  tickets to a movie or baseball game, a gift certificate for a massage, or a promise for a weekend get-away. 

And there are always the more obvious health and fitness gifts:  new athletic shoes or clothing, a heart rate monitor, or a package of personal training sessions. 

Enjoy the process of choosing for the people you love.  ‘Tis the season!

Most of the time we are striving for the next thing – the next big account, the last 10 pounds, more miles in less time on the treadmill. 

Don’t get me wrong….I’m obviously all for setting goals and moving toward them with purpose. 

But there is also an incredible satisfaction in embracing the in-between times. 

We aren’t where we were, but we haven’t arrived, either. 

We’re standing in the gap, noticing the process, and savoring each moment. 

Enjoy the ride … it’s the most important thing.

I had someone email me earlier, asking if there weekend workout was good.

(this person is not a client of us here at Method Evolution – but a person who has a membership at a local gym)

They go to the gym, do 10-15 minutes on a treadmill, 3 exercise for legs (leg ext, leg curls and leg press) 3 sets of each and 10-12 reps on each; then 3 exercise for shoulders (shoulder presses, side laterals and front raises) 3 sets of each and 10-12 reps on each; then 10-20 minutes on the treadmill takes about an hour.

They asked if this was any good because they were not getting results.

My answer is: Yes that workout is good…but what is your goal?

Just because a workout is good does not mean it will help with your goal

Follow me?

I’m sure swimmers have great workouts, but it would not help a basketball player.

What we do for our personal training clients and bootcampers is geared to burn the most amount of fat in the least amount of time.

That workout above, that is good has a total of 180-200 reps and isolates just 2 body parts…

We do more reps in our first round than that whole workout and in a fraction of the time…and we do multiple rounds.

Remember, your workout should support your goal!
