Fit Chick Challenge




Every week, I try to give my clients a new challenge to complete over the weekend, in the effort to slowly but surely turn all of these good habits into an effortless lifestyle. Because ultimately, that is what we are all after - a LIFESTYLE shift. A MINDSET MAKEOVER. Not a diet, not a pill, not a magic potion you drink, or a 7-day quick fix. There is no end date to taking care of ourselves.The goal is FOREVER. And when you really commit yourself and really do the work, the results will last. Overall health is about longevity.

And what you will earn from all of this effort and energy put forth toward yourself is measured not in pounds or inches lost, but in everything you will GAIN: a body that can literally do anything you ask of it and power the actions your mind dreams up; a confidence that comes from knowing yourself, caring for yourself, and respecting yourself….etc….

The rewards are continuous and evolving. It’s about CONSISTENCY. Striving for progress, not perfection. Over and over again. Turning your can’ts into ‘I can’ and those goals into plans.

Your challenge this week is NUTRITION-BASED.

(And a little tough love moment real quick - If nutrition is something you struggle with, own up to it! Ask for help. Because honest-to-goodness, if your nutrition never changes then your body will never change. As much as we wish it were true, we can NEVER out train a bad diet)

Ok, back to the challenge loves! :)

I would like for you to pick ONE healthy recipe (or a couple) from your TFC meal plan, Pinterest browsing OR one you create yourself and cook it over the weekend. Whatever you choose, I want you to make sure of THREE things:

1.
It’s HEALTHY and will give your body NUTRIENTS
You will be excited about cooking it and then enjoying the fruits of your labor (eating it)

2.
Take note of how you FEEL after eating a nutritious meal, then stay accountable and post your meal on your social media pages with that Hashtags #fitchickchallenge #texasfitchicks

3.
The recipes can be for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Healthy dessert recipes are a bonus!

Let the hunt begin!!! Can’t wait to see what you gals come up with :)
Here’s to loving our bodies and treating them like we love them!

Quick & Healthy Lunch Ideas!

Sometimes it seems difficult to plan a healthy lunch for yourself! It does take a little prep time, but you will have much more energy to make it through the rest of your workday if you do! Here are some quick and easy ideas to make your planning less difficult
  • Boil a dozen eggs on Sunday...then put them back in their crate in the fridge. Perfect and quick snack filled with protein that takes around 10 mins for the entire week!
  • When shopping at the grocery store for lunch items, purchase processed foods and prepackaged products sparingly. Those items are the easiest way to overload on carbs, preservatives, sugar and sodium.
  • When toting oranges, bananas or even apples, seal them in a small plastic baggie. if you don't, the flavors of the fruits can permeate the rest of the items in your bag, making everything take on the flavor of "the fruit of the day."
  • Grill or bake 3-4 breasts of chicken on Sunday (skinless/boneless). Have one for dinner that night then keep in the fridge for an easy topping on your salad or main dish for lunch
  • When toting a salad, place the salad in a large plastic baggie with the dressing sealed in a sandwich-sized baggie, placing the small bag in the larger one. At lunchtime, pour the dressing over the salad in the larger bag, seal tightly, and shake. No soggy salad, no messy cleanup, and no containers to tote back and forth between home and work!
  • Pack Easily Portable foods - Think apples, bananas and pears.
  • Keep a small jar of nut butter in your cooler or fridge at work, for a great combination with your apple mid day. Protein packed clean - eating snack. Be sure to get the natural Peanut Butter. Keep an eye on serving size too.
  • Carry a pre-measured amount of protein powder with you for afternoon slumps.
  • Carry Wraps - Whole grain wraps are ideal to transport food to work. Try feta/chicken you've already cooked and spinach. YUM and easy
  • Prepare tons of raw veggies - You can have limitless amounts of these, so be sure to include them in your day. If you're not disciplined to cut them up when you get home (that would be me) buy them pre-cut. Spending a little more on them at the store will get you to eat them!
  • Low-fat Dairy - Small cups of plain greek yogurt/1 pkt truvia/fresh (or frozen) blueberries is an amazing snack. Low-fat cottage cheese or cheese sticks are also great to take with you.
  • Keep a Protein Bar Handy - Make sure it's the clean-eating type. Lots of them out there are candy bars in disguise. I personally love Quest Protein Bars they are all natural, and tasty!
  • Low fat cheese and seedless grapes make a delicious side dish for sandwiches or wraps.
  • Chop some assorted veggies and pack a little container of bean dip, hummus, or salsa.
  • Make tuna salad with light mayo and eat with a low fat cracker like Triscuits
  • Try wraps made with whole wheat tortillas, containing either lean cold cuts or low fat cream cheese topped with veggie slices.
  • Mini-burritos are great - made with rice and black beans low fat cheese in a whole wheat wrap  with tomato salsa. These can be heated or eaten cold.
  • Greek yogurt with Kashi Go Lean crunch cereal on top for a yummy crunch is a great afternoon snack
  • Quick salad - take grape tomatoes, a chopped avocado, some sweet corn, a little red onion, chopped cilantro and parsley, lime juice, evoo, salt, and pepper. So good!!!
