Enjoy You

Summer Break is finally here. . .

In comes lots of cookouts, campfires and cold treats.  The temptations surround each event.  How can staying on track be incorporated into the summer months?  How can we continue to choose the best nutrients for our bodies when taste buds scream for sugar filled goodness on a cone?  How can we remain comfortable in the summer wardrobe while enjoying company around the campfires?

We could duct tape our mouths shut upon arrival at cookouts.  We could hide away in the camper during late night campfires.  We could avoid all situations revolving around ice cream.

OR we could enjoy the people involved in each activity mentioned above.
Stay on track with a few tips listed below:

- Eat a hearty, healthy snack prior to any cookout.
- Stick with fresh cooked/raw vegetables and fruits when filling your plate.
- Bring a dish made with whole foods, reduced sugar and hearty grains to assure healthy options.
- Have that ice cream or frozen yogurt - just don't have the largest size.
- Choose plain ice cream and top with fresh fruit, unsweetened coconut or >85% chocolate bar.
- Skip out on the S'Mores and engage in good conversation with the person next to you.

Okay, okay, I know none of this is easy.  I struggle in each area mentioned above.  But, I also know willpower lay in each of us.  Life is more than food.  Events hold greater purpose than to eat.  And relationships outweigh 30 seconds of pleasure.

Enjoy YOU this summer.  Rock out the swimwear and stay on track with your health.  You are given one body, care for it and enjoy the day set before you!

Looking to begin a better path when choosing foods?  Have a desire to feel better physically?
I just completed another 24 Day challenge with awesome Advocare products and feel phenomenal.  You can too.  It is a simple lifestyle change, laying a wonderful foundation for the body to begin utilizing every nutrient received.

Message me for more information!  I would love to come alongside and help you be the best you!

Live life. . .One Day at a Time
