Oh Happy Day!

Setting YOUR Emotional Intention for the Day

I’m in the process of re-reading 28 Days to a More Magnetic Life…..a fantastic read and one I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!  Today’s lesson is setting your emotional intention for the day. 

“Your emotional energy is up to you.  Instead of going through your day in an unaware state, you can gain greater control by creating a specific emotional intention.” 

Today I’ve set my emotional intention on HAPPINESS! 



 

 

What emotional intention have you set for yourself today...I would love to hear about it!!!

What mantras help keep you on track...I would love to hear about them!!!

Six Pack Bag

I’m obsessed with my pink and silver bag!!  It’s the best investment I’ve ever made.  I got the smaller bag that holds 3 meals, but if I need to store more meals than just the 3, I toss the rest of my meals into the side pockets.  It’s so amazing…….I highly recommend it!  You can get yours at www.sixpackbags.com  be sure to use Promo Code 6packbags to save 10% off your order.

Bobble Water Bottle

I love being eco-conscious with my magenta Bobble Filtered Water Bottle.  I just fill it up with water from a water fountain and the Bobble filters it as I drink.  The filter can last up to 2 months or 40 gallons (approximately 300 bottles!!!!!!!!).   I got mine at GNC for $9.99 and bought the extra filter for $6.99 and it was sooooo worth it!

What are you obsessed with...I would love to hear about it!

Believe!

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be,
that's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better.

There are times when people disappoint you and let you down,
but those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself and all that you are capable of.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life,
and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.

So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities,remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be, because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Keep believing in yourself.

How to Deal with Food Temptation

Food Temptation is everywhere when you’re on a Fitness/Nutrition Program; here are my tips about how to avoid giving in.    

1.       Know your trigger foods.

If you know that Cool Ranch Doritos are your weakness…(you know who you are J) then make sure you don’t have them in your house, car or work place.  If you cannot resist these tasty little bad boys make sure they are nowhere in sight, this will ensure that if you’re having a rough day that you don’t reach out for them. 

2.       Brush your teeth.

While this might seem a little weird, it works for me.  I carry a travel size toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash with me in my six pack fitness bag.  When I’m out and about  and I feel like I’m on the verge of  giving into temptation I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth.  I love having a clean mouth and always think about how terrible that brownie (or whatever it may be) will taste with my fresh breath.    Plus I have the added benefit of having white teeth! It’s a double win in my book!

3.       Drink your water.

I always carry around a gallon of water with me everywhere I go but if for some reason I can’t carry it with me I have my trusty bobble water bottle in my six pack fitness bag.  It has a filtration system on it so I can fill it up at the nearest drinking fountain and enjoy purified water anywhere I may be. 

4.       Avoid boredom.

Go outside and take a walk, go to the park,  go to the movies,  call up a girlfriend,  create a fitness vision board, paint your nails do whatever it is that YOU like to do to keep yourself busy so you won’t obsess over food.

5.       Reward Yourself.

Before I start any type of Fitness/Nutrition Program I write down about 10 non-food items  that I really... really want (manicure, facial, massage, new pair of shoes, etc.) .   I keep these in my fitness journal and after a week of clean eating and working out I reward myself on the weekend with one of these amazing treats.  Be honest with yourself though…if you had a nibble of a cookie during the week you cannot reward yourself.

 

I would love love looooove to hear about how you avoid food temptation.

Fitness Success Doesn’t Happen Overnight.

Although I've seen dramatic changes in my body recently, it still feels like my progress has been slow.  Like any other gal I would love to drop a couple of pounds  from eating clean for 2 days straight or have no arm jiggle when I wave as soon as I finish a set of tricep dips…but just like everything in life,  fitness  success doesn’t happen overnight.   The most important thing to remember is that you are a masterpiece in progress.  Keep your eyes on your goals and they will come true…..I promise!♥
