Kristy’s Tips for the Week:
Knowledge Is Power:
Understanding more about your wellness and fitness leads to better retention of lifestyle changes. If you gear yourself with the knowledge of how and why things work, compliancy often becomes easier. This doesn’t mean you need to spend a ton of time reading and researching, it simply means to occasional take the time to look something up (something of relevance or interest to you personally in wellness/fitness/nutrition). Not that we all sit on Facebook or the internet 24/7, but c’mon….you know you do spend some time each day…when we do find a little time to browse, pass on the random browsing, and put a healthy purpose to it. Some examples of a few topics that are great to learn a little about: metabolism, benefits of yoga, hydration, best stretches to do each morning, etc. Tip: pay attention to the source that you are reading from, not all media is Fact… try and go with articles that are peer reviewed, or follow .org or .gov websites. Look for valid publications at the bottom of pages.
As you are learning to manage your time, pay attention to you small voids. Once you see where they are, see if you can commit to putting something positive into that time. For example, you drop the kids off one place and have 30 minutes or so until your next task. Is there somewhere close you could squeeze in a 20 minute workout? Is there somewhere you can sit down and do some meal-planning or healthy research?
