The Infamous Grocery Shop!

Grocery shopping can be quick, easy and enjoyable. Here are some tips to ease the burden!

1. Pick the Ideal Time: Make sure you pick a day and time to shop that allows you to make smart decisions.
2. Don’t Go Hungry: Shopping while hungry is a bad idea when you are trying to resist temptations and stay on plan. Try making sure that you have had a meal before going into the grocery store so you aren’t tempted by the cravings.
3. Make a List – Before going into the grocery store, write a list of what you need and stick to it!
4. Keep to the Store Perimeter: Stay on the outsides of the grocery store. This is where you will find the staple foods you should be consuming; protein, fruits, veggies and whole grains.
5. Read the Labels: If you don’t recognize or know the ingredients, put the item back on the shelf.
6. Buy in Bulk: Bulk purchases save you time and money. Costco is a good example of a great store to get the majority of your purchases.
Happy Food Shopping Bunnies!

    These are great tips. The grocery middle aisles can be very misleading. Terms such as "all natural" and "no sugar added" don't mean the products are healthy to consume. As you say - stick to the outside aisles of the stores is great advice.

What is Love? What is not?

I LOVE YOU... Love is a major purpose for living. The connection with love is inherent in all that we do, and without it, we cannot survive as a species. But what is love? How do we know when we are in Love? On this Valentines Day I want you to reflect on your loving relationships. Over the years I have come to understand what love is. How you ask? By figuring out what LOVE ISN'T! Sometimes.. Love is like a trainer... you may get your perfect match right away; or you have to trial other ones. Much like love... you may have to date a few bad ones to find the right one... and you know, they may have been there all along and you just didn't open your eyes to realize! LOVE IS NOT : Manipulation . How many times have you heard: "If you loved me, then you would..." If you love someone, you do it because you want to, instead of someone telling you to. Compromising Who You Are : Love is not apparent if someone asks you to do or say something that isn't in your nature. Som...

SUCCESS Beyond the Stage: Nikki McKnight

Image
You could say that it all started with a trip to Disney World in Florida a few years ago. The photos from that vacation made me face a very harsh reality: in my pursuit of career excellence I had neglected to take care of myself. I was overweight, tired, stressed, and woke every day with a sense of dread.  After entering and winning an online transformation challenge I decided to take it one step further and try competitive bodybuilding. With the love and support of Jill Bunny and my teammates, I tackled the bikini stage and competed in Toronto. It was a great experience and I was looking forward to doing another show when my body rebelled against me. Although I had challenged myself mentally and physically and felt a sense of triumph, I was still living a stressful and unfulfilling lifestyle. My body shut down, I was injured frequently, and I was constantly tired.   Too stressed out to even workout, my personal trainer introduced me to Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) and for the fir...

Monday Morning Detox Juice

Author: Coach Claudia Scali Monday mornings can be hectic and stressful as your try to get up early, rush out the door and fight your way through traffic to get to work on time.  Not to mention, dropping off the dry cleaning, preparing healthy meals for the week, driving your kids to their various activities and the list goes on! There are so many expectations we set for Mondays that they can be extremely overwhelming! We want to start the day early,  eat healthy , go to the gym, prepare a presentation at work, be super mom, and finish a million different tasks! We want it all but how do we achieve it without  burning ourselves out ? You need to take care of YOU first and foremost .  You are hardly accomplishing any task when you are tired, run down, stressed out and totally fried! To be your best, you need to  give your body the nourishment and fuel that it needs .  A good night’s rest is ideal (but not always possible) as well as staying hydrated, so be sure to get in those 8 glasses...
