5 Easy Ways to Stay Motivated
Motivation goes a long way in helping you reach your fitness and weight loss goals.
So you have finally put your foot down and decided to get into the best shape of your life—right off the bat your motivation was so strong that you would walk through a field of broken glass just to avoid a slice of pizza…but after just a few days that fiery motivation fizzles, sputters, and then goes out completely. If only motivation came in pill form. Don’t despair, read on for the 5 best ways to stay motivated.
#1 Set a Concrete Goal: The more specific your goal is, the better your chance of reaching it. Take a minute each day to visualize yourself achieving your goal. How does it feel? How do you look? Now go out and achieve it!
#2 Write it Down: Make a habit of writing down your progress in a notebook. If your goal is to lose weight, record your weight every few days. If you goal is to run a marathon, record your mileage every week.
#3 Have Some Fun: Find a physical activity that you enjoy doing. Maybe you have a flair for tennis or perhaps you prefer swimming or biking or jogging. The key here is to find something that you enjoy and look forward to doing.
#4 Something is Better than Nothing: On those inevitable days when simply getting out of bed is chore, don’t completely abandon your workout plans—just take them down a notch. Chances are that once you start exercising you will feel energized and finish the whole workout anyway!
#5 Find an Expert: The best way to reach your goals is to work with a Personal Trainer, such as yours truly! As your trainer, I will supply you with expert knowledge and accountability in a winning combination that guarantees your success.
Burn Fat in your Sleep!
Eat small meals every 2-3 waking hours to increase your metabolism and reduce fat storage. Make sure that these are healthy meals containing protein, carbohydrates, and fat, and that they are within your designated caloric range. If you are not sure what your designated caloric range is, ask me, your personal trainer!
Caribbean Chicken over Coconut Rice
This tasty chicken dish is a must try! Since each serving has just less than 10 grams of fat and a whopping 27 grams of protein this recipe is not only delicious—it is good for you. Enjoy!
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes
Servings: 4
INGREDIENTS:
· 4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
· 3 teaspoons HERB-OX® Chicken Flavored Bouillon Granules, divided
· 1/2 teaspoon Jamaican jerk seasoning blend
· 1 cup uncooked white rice
· 1 1/2 cups water
· 1/2 cup coconut milk
· 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
DIRECTIONS:
- Rinse chicken breasts; pat dry. In small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules and jerk seasoning. Rub both sides of chicken breasts with seasoning mixture.
- Place chicken on rack of an uncovered grill. Grill directly over medium coals for 12-15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pinked and cooked through, turning once.
- Meanwhile, in saucepan, combine water, coconut milk, remaining bouillon and rice. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in orange peel. Serve chicken over rice.
