4 tips to stay on track this holiday season!


My top 4 tips to stay on track with my nutrition and work outs πŸŽ πŸ‹️‍ ESPECIALLY over the holidays ❄️ πŸŽ„...

I know people expect some profound answer since I’m an online health influencer, but guess what?! Its nothing crazy... it’s simple enough that YOU can do it too it you truly want to!

Tip # 1️⃣: Find an eating plan that is easy enough to follow that it doesn’t take a ton of prep work to figure it out + allows for some wiggle room so you can still ENJOY the holidays without feeling deprived... But have a bit of structure so you don’t go overboard on the cookies πŸͺ and holidays favs πŸ˜‹

Tip # 2️⃣ set aside time on Sun and Weds to meal prep your meals for the following days. Meal prepping doesn’t have to take forever and it doesn’t have to be making gourmet meals. I like to keep it simple & cook up things I can grab quickly, like gluten free unprocessed carbs such as sliced sweet potatoes that I bake in the oven, quinoa, and cooked up ground turkey and chicken for quick protein sources. I also like to wash and portion out my vegetables and fruits πŸ‰ .

Tip # 3️⃣ find an exercise routine you actually ENJOY doing that will keep you excited about your exercise routine through the holiday months. I loooove that I can stream my work outs from any device πŸ“± πŸ“Ί πŸ’» and never get bored of what I’m doing because all different kinds of plans are on there- dancing, cardio, strength, yoga, etc.

Tip # 4️⃣ find an accountability partner who has similar goals as you during this season! Someone who wants to stay on track too and will call you out if you start backing out of your goals πŸ“£ Can’t find one?! I’m always available to be yours!! Just gotta ask πŸ‘ŒπŸ»Check out my 12 days of FITMAS (a *free* group, so you can get a sneak peek into what I do as a health influencer...and gain some awesome recipes, accountability, and fun as we approach the new year).

Don’t let this season be your reason for stopping your health goals/falling off or even getting started on one. There’s still over a month and left in 2019! For those WILLING to put in the work... A LOT can happen in the time left in this year. I’ve surrounded myself with people who want to finish 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ with a BANG! Did you!?

You can-cer vive

Darren is LIVING with cancer - choosing to survive & live every day!
How does he do it?
1. He does NOT let cancer define him. The term "cancer survivor" does not apply to him. He does not just "survive" he "thrives".
2. He wakes up every single morning with the most incredible attitude! It's not that he doesn't think about having cancer everyday, but he chooses to make it a great day!
3. When he is having an off day (forgets why he's in a certain room or what he's supposed to be doing or puts toothpaste in his hair instead of hair gel...happens a lot)...he laughs.
4. He eats healthy (80% of the time) and works out.
5. And most importantly, he laughs out loud EVERYDAY (sometimes all day).When something bad happens, you have three choices: Let it define you, let it destroy you, or let it strengthen you. Choose to let it strengthen you! What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to WHAT LIES WITHIN US. And when you bring what is WITHIN out into the world, MIRACLES HAPPEN.“

Juicing benefits!

Juicing (the process of separating the juice from the pulp of fruits, vegetables and plant foods) is a great way to prevent cancer as well as enhance your cancer treatment.If you are in active treatment, are having chewing, swallowing, or digestive problems, or are struggling with excess weight loss due to cancer and it's treatment, juicing may be a good option for getting valuable nutrients into your body. Juicing extracts the liquid from the fruits and vegetables and leaves the pulp behind. This is important as it aids in the digestion of the nutrients and enzymes without requiring large amounts of energy to aid in digestion. This reserves the body’s energy for healing.

Other benefits of juicing for cancer is that it helps the body become more alkaline which research has shown is beneficial to cancer patients. It also facilitates in hydration, reducing inflammation, and eliminating toxins. Some fruits and vegetables have a cleansing action on the liver and aid in releasing bile while others are powerful detoxifiers and fight free radicals.

Do you have a juicer or do you prefer to go someplace? Do you have a favorite recipe?
Would love to hear your thoughts!  Join our support group today & let's connect! *And our favorite juicer, the Breville, is INCREDIBLE! Check it out/purchase HERE.

LIVING with cancer: sugar's effect on cancer


You are sweet enough! ⁣

By now you’ve heard time and again how bad sugar is for you. It’s been linked to obesity, heart disease, diabetes—and now also cancer. According to a study done at the @mdanderson, high amounts of sugar in today’s diets may increase the risk of breast cancer. The main culprit appeared to be fructose, as it exacerbated the inflammatory process. ⁣

Needing something sweet? Stick to natural sugar found in fruit and avoid sugar-sweetened beverages, tabletop sweeteners, candy, and desserts. Or, have a piece of dark chocolate (ideally 70% or higher). ⁣

Fun fact, A research study conducted at the University of California in San Francisco showed that chocolate that’s greater than 70 percent cacao can activate the body’s stem cells!!
