How to Punch Back when the Sh** hits the Fan.

 What you do when S*** hits the fan, and you’re end up eating crappy and feeling gross while you deal with it. 

So last week as I sat down in front of my laptop for a health coaching call (skype) .

I took a deep breath once her camera turned on.

She was a hot mess.  Literally.

Bloated face, puffy eyes, messy hair and sporting some super unflattering giant sweater. Some s***  had obviously hit the fan for her.

She confessed she’d fallen off the wagon. For the last week she hadn’t gotten in any workouts and had been eating whatever she could  reach for.

Her basement flooded, she was under the gun at work and then her  8 year old son broke his arm at school last week.

She did what any good human would do.. begged for mercy from her boss for an extension, called a plumber and rushed to the school.

But this didn’t just affect one day– it knocked her back for a good week with doctors visits, repair visits and calls for the house and then of course she fell behind at work and just couldn’t seem to focus to get her project done well.

We’ve all been there!  Crappy thing is, sometimes this can happen A LOT- like at least a couple times a month for many people.

This had in fact been the case for Jessie at least once a month.  She had amazing intentions, , but could never stay on track due to the S*** that keeps hitting her fan of life!

Sometimes this just happens.. no matter how much you meditate, go to yoga, get in the workouts and make time for others.

Rather than giving her a pass for falling off the wagon, I told her we would come up with a rock solid plan so the next time her house fell apart, someone had to go to the hospital and she had to put in long hours at work.. she could not feel like a sad lard ass from all the stress, shoddy sleep and ordering pizza (just to get something on the table for dinner)

Here’s our awesome “This day sucks! Keep me from feeling like a lard ass on top of it all”  Plan

How to eat a sandwich and NOT get fat.

I love making it easy to be healthy and actually enjoy food.

So here’s the thing.  Tons of people love sandwiches.

But Sandwiches are really just a bunch of awesome stuff smashed together, with some filler on the top and bottom.

 

The good stuff is in the middle!  It’s the bread that’s a waste or your time and energy. It literally makes you more tired and you have to chew longer.. so my statement is totally true.

 

Now if you love sandwiches and I’m bumming you out, don’t worry!  All ya gotta do is take everything you love between those two slices and put it in a bowl with some greens.

Uh, yeah .. I just tricked you into eating a salad:)

But this is one way to keep your healthy meals exciting!!

 

Step 1.  Think of your favorite Sandwich

Ex: – Reuben Sandwich = Corned beef, saurkraut, cheese (use GOAT or SHEEP)

Step 2.  Take out the bread and put everything else in a bowl (leave out the mayo/dressing)

Step 3.  Add a few handfuls of dark leafy veg + 1 more bright colored veg

Ex: Spinach, Chard + Red Bell Pepper

Step 4. Add one of my 4 TOP Dressing PICKS

(see a GREAT healthy thousand island below!)

Since a sandwich salad sucks without some sort of moisture element – mayo, mustard etc..  here some amazing dressings I love, guaranteed to make any salad exciting and keep you lean!

I’ve got two easy homemade and two store bought for you.

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts. How do you stay inspired?

We all could use a little boost, right?   Something to help us feel excited about life.

Since it’s hard to simply “be positive”  and ” feel great” I love plugging into great people in the world that get me there.  I’m a huge fan of inspirational podcasts and books, heck even TV shows that keep my head up.

Lately I’ve been enjoying Friday Night Lights. It’s been around for awhile, but If you haven’t seen it- I highly recommend you do some Netflix Binging on that one:)

The head football coach even has a great mantra for the team “Clear eyes, full hearts”  How great is that!!

Anyhow, I know we all need some fresh ideas on keeping our inner Eeyore at bay, so I thought I’d share how I stay Inspired daily, as well as some great resources for you!

This is a great preview to my next guest.  I’m so excited to bring her to you!  You will fo’sure find her story inspirational and she’ll definitely kick Eeyore to the curb for you.

Why I March

So, I’m about to head downtown (Spokane) for the Women’s March. While I made plans with friends to who up at the march, I also really wanted to opt out today.

It’s been a long week and getting in some veg out time at home was sounding much better.

But then I had dinner with my 13 year old nephew last night and something he said made me realize just how important today is.
