Strive for Progress Not Perfection

April 14, 2014 by Jess Leave a Comment

progress Strive for Progress Not Perfection

As I mentioned the other day on Facebook, I had an off week last week with my eating. I had some left over snacks from a girls night at my apartment that I wouldn’t normally keep here. I had a snack attack several nights this week & missed my workout yesterday. But, it’s all about progress not perfection.But instead of beating myself up, I focused on how far I’ve come & the healing God is giving me. If this would’ve been me just a few months ago, I would’ve been on my bathroom floor crying & probably with a spoon & a jar of cookie butter (it’s like crack, don’t buy it). Again, progress not perfection!

But this week I instead accepted the fact that I was human & celebrated the fact that it was only half a jar of peanut butter I consumed (that’s a lot I know, but I’m just being real). And I got right back to eating healthy on a Saturday out of all days! Strive for progress not perfection!

Normally I would’ve been like, “yeah I will wait till Monday it’s the weekend,” because I knew I had a lot planned with friends & stuff going on at church. But I instead made healthy choices being out the entire weekend. I feel almost back to normal!

I say all this to say that I’m not where I want to be (my abs have gone in to hiding after this week lol), but I sure as hell ain’t where I used to be! I’m not in fetal position with sweets, I’m sipping my Shakeology enjoying the sunshine instead.

So strive for progress, not perfection peeps! No more beating yourself up because I care about you!

Weight Loss Solutions for the New Year

January 2, 2014 by Jess Leave a Comment

Is it just me or did 2013 & the holidays fly by? I cannot believe it’s already January! I saw a cool quote on Instagram last night, “the bodies we make in the winter are what we will look like in the summer.” So that inspired me to make a post today about what we can do now to work on our weight loss solutions for the new year and make them last throughout the entire year

Here are a few steps that you can take to make this a lasting change for your weight loss solutions for the new year:

Make peace with your trigger foods. Figure out what foods you crave & come to terms with it. But DO NOT deprive it from your diet completely. That leads to binging (believe me I know). So allow yourself to have them once or twice a week.
Rejoice in the benefits of healthy eating. Instead of thinking how deprived you’re going to be, think about how it’s going to benefit your health & how much longer you’re going to live.
Set a goal. Make a goal that is SMART – specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, & trackable. Focus on the changes you can make to get towards losing however many pounds you set as your goal.
Start working out at home. It saves on gym fees & it’s SO MUCH easier! You don’t have to hassle with the traffic & the drive either. Grab a friend to do it with you!
Make some basic changes. Don’t make all the changes to your lifestyle at once, do one at a time. If you aren’t willing to change your lifestyle, you won’t be successful with weight loss.
Have a friend hold you accountable. You are more likely to do something when you have committed to someone else to show up or that you’re going to do it.

Apply these changes to your weight loss solutions for the new year and I promise you will have victory!

5 Tips to Stay Healthy During Christmas

December 23, 2013 by Jess Leave a Comment

I cannot believe it’s Christmas week!! Where has 2013 gone?! I am headed out of town in a little bit to go visit my parents for the holiday. I hope you get to spend the holiday with your loved ones as well celebrating the real reason for this season – JESUS! Today I wanted to just quickly give you a 5 tips to stay healthy during Christmas while still enjoying yourself.

1. Exercise - Don’t forget to get in some movement, even if it’s just a 30 minute walk. Staying active will help you feel better.

2. Relaxation - Don’t allow yourself to get stressed over the business of the season. Remember to take time to rest & take care of yourself.

3. Nutrition - Try to make healthy choices by getting plenty of whole grains, fruits, & veggies. And when you enjoy your treats, do it in moderation. One cheat day a week is okay though

4. Water - Make sure you are staying hydrated. If you are drinking alcohol, be sure to up your water intake a bit so you don’t get that horrid holiday hangover.

5. Sleep - Make sure you are getting enough. 7-8 hours a night is key so that you feel at your best.

And most importantly remember this…

Merry Christmas to you & your family!

What Causes Cellulite?

December 19, 2013 by Jess Leave a Comment

Today I figured that I would share a blog post on something that I have been struggling with again recently. My cellulite had gotten much better, but for some reason lately it has reappeared. So I figured I would do something that would help all of us because 90% of women struggle with cellulite. So what causes cellulite?

Genetics, hormones, circulation, inflammation, fat, stress, poor diet, high alcohol consumption, & lack of exercise are what can cause cellulite

But good news! There are ways to help improve your cellulite that you can easily start doing. You will not have to buy any crazy creams, lotions, get surgery, or those weird body wraps. Here are a few tips that will help you get rid of cellulite:

Exercises that work your lower body (see below)
Drink more water
Certain foods – blueberries, tomatoes, watermelon, eggs, oily fish, flaxseed oil, spinach, brazil nuts, pineapple

I’m glad that I researched what causes cellulite so that I can help get rid of mine & help ya’ll, too! We can do it together!

Maybe I will go back to doing Brazil Butt Lift - I would love for ya’ll to join me! Here were my results from when I did it earlier this year.

Please RT or share with anyone this may help!

As always, don’t forget to love yourself!
