Week 13 #2020 Getting OUT

Image
Hi There Before we move on. How fast has this year gone by? This is why I believe Health is a journey. It is something that we need to customise and personalise constantly. Some see this as a bad thing. But I see it as growth. We change constantly which is a good thing. Remember this is our goal to realize what we need to change. This is a good thing! I hope you had some fun Cardio DANCE sessions this week!! I hope you also had fun! Because if we are on this journey it should be fun!! We cannot just count calories and get sleep and ... and ....and... This is why we fall of the wagon. No, make it possible and make it fun!! This week let us go outside. Take 10 minutes where you just go outside, walk stand. Enjoy a cup of joe. Where I am it is still warm so love it. This is really hard for me to maintain when it gets colder, but I really try to spend at least 10 min outside.So get geared up for however the weather is and just BE outside.  . WEEK 13 of #2020 How was your Cardio Danc

Week 10 #2020 Veggies :"Everybody Hates Me!"

Image
Hi There Now that we have added fruit to our diet. Lets add Veggies this week. I want us to change how we see Veggies and try not just put them down. Try new recipes.I truly believe we are "taught to hate Veggies. Or we are born to hate them. When I got over the idea that Veggies are disgusting. I started to enjoy them. I love Broccoli. pumpkin etcetera. I believe the way we prepare them might be the problem. I also believe we should get creative as to how and when we should eat Veggies? Why can we not add them as snacks or something, rather than adding them to our plates?   WEEK 10 of #2020 How has the fruit gone? Has it been easy to add them? What struggles have you been having?  Do  you have any interesting ways or recipes for Veggies? What are your favorite Veggies? Next week (Week 11 of #2020) Fruit & Veg the inseparable couple? Thanks for reading!!  Please share our thoughts?  #NeverStopMoving  Keep Moving 👋✌ paypal.me/JeanMarieRoux

Week 9 #2020 Let's get Fruity

Image
Hi There Let's get fruity. Yes, adding them to our diet!! Fruits are a great way to keep our blood sugar under control. Only one or many. Be creative on how you add them. This is something that I struggle with. I get bored. Yes, an Apple a day, keeps the doctor away! Buuuuut... It is boring. I get tired of them. Also I travel a lot throughout the day, so I want and need something (like an apple😒) that is easy to eat and can be done on the go...and quick. This makes it hard. I try to get in as much fruit as possible, but not enough. The other thing that gets in my way is when I buy them in bulk they do not stay fresh and I cannot eat them all in 2 days!! Some are expensive and I do not want to go shopping every second day!!   To combat this I have started to make fruit smoothies. They work. I still buy bulk but I freeze half of them for my smoothies and eat the rest as snacks through the day. By day 3 or 4 I make a fruit salad for a meal of for us as a dessert! I try to keep it

Week 8 #2020 Getting in your ZZZZ's

Image
Hi There I hope you are much more hydrated!  On our journey we are going to talk and think about a lot of concepts that doesn't get mentioned when we normally think or talk about health.Remember health is a state of being, thus everything in that "being" needs to be healthy. We are also multifaceted beings so we need to look at the whole picture. That being said😀(pun intended), there are some fundamental things we need to do to become more healthy. Drinking more water was one of them and Sleep,which will be our focus this week, is the other.  We need sleep.... It is fundamental in our growth and being alive!!!!!  Because Sleep is such an IMPORTANT part and I believe in today's society we do not sleep enough. I am leaving you with a TED Talk . I love this one, I've watched it like a lot and I learn each and every time! Please watch the Talk and let me know what you think. WEEK 8 of #2020 How did it go? Did you get in more water? Do you struggle to sleep? I

Week 7 #2020 H2O...

Image
Hi There This week I want us to drink more water. Read again... Not force yourself to drink more water, just to drink more water. Follow this link to get a rough idea on how much water you should be taking in.P. S. it is just a rough estimate. Try to get to or just close to your results. If that sounds to hard how about starting with one cup a day and increase that by one cup a day for this week. Focus on the process of how you are going to reach this goal, not just to drink more water. This way we incorporate it into our lives, it becomes a "normal" for us. Remember we are changing how we see things.  This is how I do it. I really need to at least drink one cup a day. Also I love coffee...Which dehydrates the body ...Not Hydrate... So I motivate myself. For every 2 cups of water I get to enjoy a coffee guild free. I have realised that my drinking habits are just that,HABITS. Sometimes I am not in the mood for coffee but I work with a cup next to me. So I started to chan

Week 6 #2020 Identifying our Habits - Good or Bad

Image
Hi There Now that we are aware of how we focus. How we process the act of deciding what our focus is. Let us focus on our  habits. Not just the bad ones like we always do. No, we are going to identify good and bad habits. Make a list of these habits. Remember this is for you. NO ONE ELSE. I want you to choose ONE. And I am going to challenge you to focus on one GOOD habit. Just because we do not usually focus on our good habits. This week try to reinforce the good habit. Each week add another to focus on. Then start adding NEW GOOD habits.     This week.  WEEK 6 of #2020 Were you just focusing on your bad habits? Why? Are you going to accept my challenge and focus on a good one? Reinforce it? What was the ratio of good vs. bad habits?  Next week (Week 7 of #2020) we are going to talk about.... H2O.
