Happy Friday the 13th!

Are you superstitious? I am not, but there is something about hearing that it is Friday 13th gives me a little spook.

This morning Ava and I made a trip to the YMCA! We went to visit the Group Power class… I figured she would get to see a lot of the people that take my classes. Everyone was thrilled that I brought her in! She seemed to be content listening to the music and watching people lift weights. Ava is so easy and goes with the flow.

As soon as we got home she passed out… I think she was a little over stimulated!

I’m sure when you read the title of this post you weren’t thinking about New Year’s Resolutions… but I was. We are about 1/2 way through the year now, can you believe it?? I wanted to check in and remind you to stay on track or get back on track with your Health & Fitness Goals, it’s never too late!

This year I have focused on eating cleaner. I have made small changes with my diet and now I feel that my meals are always loaded with fresh nutritious ingredients. Although sometimes we think processed foods are more convenient, I find that I am never satisfied when I snack on granola bars or processed snacks. I get full quicker from eating WHOLE foods.

I used to love eating sandwiches at lunch time, but now my lunches consist of leftovers. I load up my plate with either a salad or leftover veggies, and have a lean protein with my meal. I am much more full and don’t feel as bloated throughout the day!

Are you sticking with your resolutions?? If not, what SMALL changes can you implement in your diet to achieve your goals?
