Are you the kind of person who gets out of bed with just enough time left to get ready and sprint out the door? Or are you someone who allows for some extra time to ease into your day, maybe giving yourself time for movement and/or mindfulness practices? I often hear people say they don't have time for "fill in the blank." But is it time or rather priorities? Routines and systems may come easier to some of us than others, but we are all capable of establishing them. So let's talk about how our morning routine plays into this. So which one describes you:

Ha ha! Credit to CartoonStock, whose watermark is all over this cartoon. I know I joked the other day that I can be literal, but wowee, I'm not this bad. 😆 There is a huge misconception that healthy food can't taste good. I'm tellin' ya, that's way wrong! You will hear us blast this over and over on this platform - that healthy food which fuels your body the way our genetics and biology need to be fueled can be utterly delish! Do you have a favorite comfort food that you know doesn't serve your body, but you want a healthier version? Lay it on us! Someone will have an answer! Happy Friday!

Which sentence feels most true today? A - I know what to do but need to do it. B - I am taking action but need better results. C - I have too many options and need clarity. D - I am improving at a slower pace and making progress. E - I need some serious support! Which one describes where you are today?

Hi All, You'll hear me periodically repeat this mantra: The food industry is not your friend. It's built for profit, and to keep us coming back for the greatest amount of portions. Much of the packaged food today is created in a lab, heavily researched and manipulated and modified for the perfect amount of sweet, salty, fatty, crunchy (or other texture) that will keep us coming back for the greatest amounts. Something showed up in a friend's Facebook post that was all about nostalgic foods from the 90s. I probably ate about 5-6 of them, most of which were highly processed and non-nutritive, even back then. If you are sensitive to visual cues kicking in cravings, you might skip this one. I was struck by how the food industry hasn't been your friend for a LONG TIME. Did you eat any of these? Where/how might we help you approximate healthier alternatives?

Hello Everyone! I would love to hear from you, especially the quiet ones :). How are you doing with your health journey? Any challenges currently? Any questions? Any wins to share? I have been traveling at a conference in Seattle, and I have been having great success finding amazing healthy food. Last night I had oysters and halibut - SO good! But I have also faced the challenge of being in a boot, because I broke my foot right before this trip. @Amanda Nascimento I know you feel my pain as you have been dealing with this for a while now. I have still been clocking 3-5 miles a day on my fitness tracker because...well, it IS a conference. 😳 So that has meant asking for help sometimes and having a nighttime routine so I am ready for the next day - elevating, stretching, epsom salt lotion and good sleep. I have also been adding LMNT electrolytes to my water bottle every day. My goal is always to take care of myself on the road just like I would at home - as much as possible. It is not perfect, but it feels good to take care of myself! 💚 YOUR TURN - let us know what is going on in your world!
