6 Tips for Goal Setting A bit behind tackling your New Year’s Resolutions this year? Instead of beating yourself up about how far behind you are with what you want to accomplish, why not get to work and set your goals today? Our #52DayShred Coach, Reebok Marketing Guru, Crossfit Competitor, and Body Architect at Anatomy Fitness, Nikki Pepper, is here to share her secrets to goal setting and how to get started today. Here’s your chance to create a plan for yourself for what you want to achieve. Set SMART Goals – This acronym stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely. Write them down! There’s great power in writing something down on a piece of paper. Setting something in ink also sets it in your mind! Keep your goals listed where you can see them every day. Some suggestions are a white board, your phone screen background, on a piece of paper on your nightstand, on your mirror in your bathroom—Anywhere you’re bound to look at them. Use visualization techniques. Picture yourself accomplishing your goals—How it’s going to feel, what will happen as a result, how you’ll be able to live differently.

Let me begin this post by saying I do NOT cross fit. I’m sure this is no surprise to most of you viewing photos of my pewney arms. I broke a significant amount of cartilage in my elbow when I was younger playing Basketball in a freak accident throw. After 3 hospitals, 5 doctors, 1 MRI, 1 Orthoscopic surgery and 1 year of physical training later I still can’t do a push up or pull up with out hearing a crack and fearing my little arm will break! Soooooo…. No, this program is not just for the gym rats and lifters, you can incorporate your prefered style of exercise or training while macro counting. This program is geared towards fueling your body properly while burning the appropriate amount of calories to see results. What makes this program so great is the supportive community and on going support from the nutrition coach. Before I began the program I gave Leah a summary of my diet, usual exercise and just day to day activity. I’m sure most of you know I had a little baby girl 4 months ago and began the program at 2 months. So she was fully aware that I had very little […]

It seems like we are always just getting back from a whirlwind trip or planning one, so it can be hard to pre-plan meals and to make sure we’re hitting our macros when we are always on the go. Meal prep can feel overwhelming and many times it’s why we opt to eat out instead of packing a lunch or eating something healthy at home. A few years ago Michelle and I teamed up with our friend and health food blogger, Elise Museles of Kale & Chocolate to create mason jar lunches which we became obsessed with! She taught us that by just a setting aside a little time for prep work that we would save time, money and calories!! All you have to do is prep a few healthy ingredients ahead of time then just mix and match them to create your own unique salads. Coming up with a plan for the week has definitely helped me stay on track, and these mason jar salads have been a total life saver because I actually look forward to eating them. It […]
