Are you a Locavore???

Locavore: one who eats locally grown produce whenever possible. 
The word Lacavore was added to the Oxford Dictionary in 2007. Since then the idea of eating locally grown and produced products has grown in popularity and its easy to see why.

Locavores Unite!!! 6 reasons to hit your Farmer's Market this weekend

1. Freshness! Locally grown produce purchased from your farmer's market was picket just a day or 2 before while. "fresh" produce like apples at the grocery store can be over a year old! ( yes a year... check it out)

2. Nutrition! The more time that passes from picking to plate the lower the nutritional values become.

3. Taste! Picked at the last minute locally produce is at it's height of yumminess and nutritional values.

4. Organic! Most local farmers or small organic farms who believe in avoiding pesticides and fungicides.

5. Money! Buying local boosts your local economy and is a step towards regional food self reliance.

6. Mother Earth! Buying and eating local saves energy and reduces pollution. Did you know that one fifth of all petroleum now used in the United States is used in agriculture.

2 Keys to Getting and Staying Motivated!

Before you change your diet, step on foot on a treadmill or pick up a weight let’s look at two key factors in getting fit: Motivation and goals.

Mental motivation is the key factor to successful lifestyle changes.  , Ask yourself, why am I doing this? Is it for yourself? Your spouse? To look good? To feel better? Whether it’s a single factor or many, the motivation to get in shape will be the core principle that get’s you up and moving drives every workout.

When you first start, when you’re six months or a year into a lifestyle fitness plan, there are going to be times when you simply don’t want to work out. You just won’t. These are the times when you’re going to need to refocus on why is it you’re working out. Not only is that okay, it is totally normal. Refocus = Rededication!

Once you have figured out why you want to get back in shape, find some way to remind yourself of this reason every day. Be it a picture on the refrigerator, a note tapped to the mirror, an inspirational bracelet, a background screen on your computer, whatever you choose make it something you can’t miss and that positively reinforces what you are doing.

After you have determined your motivation it is important that you set reasonable, obtainable, goals. You are not going to lose 30, 40, 50+ lbs in a week or a month. Too many times we fail in our quest for fitness because we go full speed on the first workout. If you don’t pull a something during the workout we wake up the next morning feeling like we have been run over by a truck. Our knees, back, and neck all hurt and we can barely stand. Many quit right here after just a single workout!

Setting and reaching goals is an essential part of creating lasting change. Having intermittent goals and  benchmarks that measure your progress along the way to your ultimate success provides  you with positive reinforcement that your efforts are worth your exertions.

Goals can be small or large. You might just want to walk a mile without stopping, drop 10 pounds, or complete a 5K charity race.  Don’t set unreasonable lofty  goals that won’t be  able to reach it in a reasonable amount of time. You might want to run a marathon some day but starting with a 2 mile fun run may be the better goal. If you find it difficult to define or set your goals this is something you can discuss with a lifestyle fitness coach, a personal trainer, or your doctor.

The key to remember is that no matter how out of shape you may think you are, getting back in shape is possible. It  may have taken you years to get to this point but you can get back on the road to health in a matter of weeks.  

The best thing about reaching your goals is you can easily set new ones when you accomplished  the others!

Top 3 Reasons Why I walk....

# 1 reason to walk.... It Makes Me Happy!!! I get to take in nature, breath in fresh air, see the flowers, listen to the birds, what's not to love?

It reduces your stress and relieves anxiety all without any nasty side effects!

# 2 reason to walk... I Helps me Keep My Girlish Figure! It burns calories keeping my weight in check. It tones my legs and bum. Keeps my tummy and arms in nice shape too! 

# 3 reason to walk... It gives me GREAT energy!
