Dave participated in our fall 6-Week Nutrition Challenge and here's what he had to say: "It's been a humbling experience, especially when you think you're already being healthy and seeing just how much you're indulging even if it's in healthier foods. I wasn't really looking to lose weight for this challenge -- though I did, to my surprise -- but to learn about proper portion sizing and ratios per meal, and hopefully lose some body fat %s in the process. I'm glad to say I've accomplished all 3!"

Yes, we're open on Thanksgiving! Work out at 9 a.m. You won't feel so bad about that slice of pumpkin pie! 😜

Who loves sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving? 🙋‍♀️Traditional sweet potato casseroles can be loaded with sugar and marshmallow topping. Let's be real, it's more dessert than side dish. This year, consider preparing mashed sweet potatoes instead of a casserole with all the added sugars. Simple bake the sweet potatoes in the oven or you can wrap them in foil and put them in the Crock-Pot for several hours and they come out nice and soft. Top with a few pecans or walnuts for garnish. This way you're keeping your sweet potatoes a healthy carb instead of a sweet dessert.

Motivation won’t last forever. Here’s how to stay on track and make good choices a lifestyle, not a phase: ⠀
⠀
Simplify: Something as fundamental as nutrition shouldn’t be complicated. ⠀
⠀
Plan: Create an actionable plan with a timeline & realistic goals. Share: TELL SOMEONE! Post on social media, grab an accountability partner, tell your cat. The more you talk about what you’re doing, the more likely you’ll be to follow through. ⠀
⠀
Focus: Don’t be distracted by everyday life aka your old habits. You are building the foundation of a new lifestyle. There is no more room for your bad habits. ⠀
⠀
Forgive: It’s OK if you fall off, go back, mess up or fail. Dwelling on your shortcomings wastes time that could be spent working towards your goals. Acknowledge what went wrong, forgive yourself and move on! ⠀
⠀
Try again: Success comes to people who never stop trying. Be committed, be determined. The only way you will fail is if you give up. ⠀

Feeling the urge for an afternoon snack? Instead of grabbing a single snack, like a plain rice cake, which is a great carbohydrate source, make sure you’re creating a balanced snack. Add guacamole, nut butter or hummus for fat, and throw on a slice of deli meat for protein. Now you’re golden!

When thinking about making a big change in your life it's natural to want to apply strict, all or nothing rules. You are all in, and nothing is going to get in your way this time.

In reality, placing restrictions on your diet can create the opposite of your intended outcome. Cutting out foods or food groups creates guilt and negative feelings that can lead to bingeing and disordered eating habits.

Statistics show that people who track and log their food are 50% MORE likely to lose weight than people who do not keep a food journal. Tracking your food may seem tedious in theory, but food logs are where it’s at, people! We challenge you to pull up My Fitness Pal NOW and log everything you’ve eaten today. DO IT! And then do it again tomorrow too! Create the healthy habit, become more mindful of what you’re putting into your body.
