Last weekend of the game is here!

Here in the U.S., it’s also Labor Day weekend, which might mean an extra day off, cookouts, travel, plans… or absolutely nothing different. Wherever you are and whatever your weekend looks like, let’s make it a good one.

My very simple weekend plan:
• Keep the water nearby
• Get some movement in each day
• Enjoy the fun stuff
• Keep my normal routine where I can

What does your weekend look like?

Monday night check-in!

My kiddos are officially back in school today, and whew… it has been a DAY over here.

Someone asked a really good question about getting enough protein when you're just…not hungry.

Protein is very filling, so there's a reason getting more in can feel tough when your appetite is already low. Instead of forcing a giant protein-heavy meal, sometimes it's easier to sneak in smaller amounts to what you're already eating.

Asking the class: What's your favorite easy protein when you don't feel like eating a big meal?

I've heard good things about nutritional yeast (but I don't like cheese flavor). Personally, I throw a scoop of protein powder in my morning coffee & then protein overnight oats (or hot oatmeal if I have time) for my first meal of the day.

Happy Tuesday! Let’s talk SNACKS.

I’m a big fan of a good snack. As you can probably guess, I spend most of my day on the computer so an easy snack is crucial to surviving the day.

Here are some of my faves:
Apple + peanut butter
Hard-boiled eggs + wheat thins
popcorn + beef stick

What’s your go-to snack ?

Happy first Monday of the game!

For all my procrastinators, you can officially retire the phrase “I’ll start Monday.”

Monday is basically (or is) over. The game has started. Let's get it done 

You also don’t need to overhaul your entire life this month.

More water?
More workouts?
Better food choices?
Getting outside more?

Weight loss gets most of the attention around here, but feeling better matters too. More energy. Better sleep. Less stress. Feeling stronger. Getting outside and clearing your head. Keeping a promise you made to yourself.

Pick 1 goal for this game and drop it below. Let's make the next 4 weeks amaaaazing.

Congratulations to everyone that participated in this game!

Whether you reached your goal or not, you are still a winner in my book! You committed and put forth the effort towards living a healthier lifestyle. If you replaced one unhealthy habit with a healthy one, or made a non-scale victory - that's a success to celebrate!
