You Do Have Enough Time to Take Care of Your Health

2/26/2021

0 Comments

 
​TIME is the number 1 obstacle most for most people for not exercising and committing to healthy living.

Yep. More than cost or nervousness or lack of experience, people say they just don’t have the time to take care of their bodies.

These are often the same people who will tell you about the latest Netflix series they binge-watched. Not that there’s anything wrong with enjoying TV.

But - the obstacle is not TIME.

The true obstacle is a lack of priorities.

Until you realize how much precious time you waste on less important “priorities,” you’ll keep insisting you’re just too busy to exercise regularly. And, as the saying goes, “If you don’t make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness.”
Picture
Try this. A week has 168 hours. Now, make a list of how you spend your time each week on the following:
  • Work
  • Sleep
  • Commute
  • Errands
  • Family time
  • Leisure activity

Total that up and subtract it from the 168 hours.

NOW - multiply 3 x 45-minute training sessions (the sweet spot for getting great results in our training program) and divide that number by 168. This is the % of your week you would spend on your fitness training with us to get incredible results...

Still, think you don’t have time? I’m curious, so let me know!

Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

2/22/2021

0 Comments

 
Raise your hand if you are a CHOCOLATE lover! We are so excited to share Mike's favorite treat with you today. These are Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups for your LEGIT Chocolate Cravings.

They are so good and so easy to make! Hope you love them!
OH So Good Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
​

....For legit chocolate cravings

INGREDIENTS
  • 1/3 c. virgin coconut oil
  • 1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp. maple syrup

PEANUT BUTTER FILLING
  • 2 tbsp. virgin coconut oil
  • 1/2 c. peanut butter (made from 100 percent peanuts)
  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/8 tsp. fine sea salt
​
DIRECTIONS
  1. Line a mini muffin pan with 12 mini paper muffin cups.
  2. To make the chocolate: In a small bowl, microwave the coconut oil for 30 seconds, or just until melted. Stir in the cocoa powder and maple syrup.
  3. Place 1 teaspoon of the chocolate in each muffin cup to fill the bottom. Place the muffin tin in the freezer until the chocolate solidifies, about 5 minutes.
  4. To make the peanut butter filling: In a small bowl, microwave the coconut oil for 30 seconds, or just until melted. Use a fork to stir in the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt.
  5. Spoon about a tablespoon of peanut butter filling on top of the chocolate. Then spoon another teaspoon of chocolate on top of the peanut butter filling to fill the cups (if the chocolate begins to harden, microwave it for 10 seconds). Place peanut butter cups in the freezer until solid, about 30 minutes.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes prior to serving.

​
*this is the actual recipe from Run Fast Eat Slow. NOTE: I don't make the peanut butter filling - I just put standard peanut butter in the middle.



Lots of love,
Paige

Happy Valentines Day!

2/14/2021

0 Comments

 
Happy Valentines Day!

To me, Valentine's Day isn't just a day to express love for a significant other, but it’s also a day to express admiration and appreciation for other incredible people in our lives. ✨

And that’s YOU!

Whether you’re currently working with us, you’ve worked with us in the past, or working with us is simply on your radar but you haven’t taken the first step yet, we want you to know that we APPRECIATE you so very much. 🙏

Time is our most precious gift. ⏱

So, you might be spending a few hours a week coaching with our team or simply a few minutes a week reading our posts or emails...

Either way, I want you to know how much I value you and the time you give me.
Picture
I think it’s incredibly important to show appreciation.

We live in a world that’s becoming faster paced and less connected by the day.

Technology, social media, and our busy lives dictate what gets our energy and attention instead of the things that matter. 👫

So, in honor of Valentine’s Day, I’d love for you to join me in doing 3 things:

  1. Tell all of the important people in your life how much they matter to you and how much you appreciate them. 🌹
  2. Get clear on what really matters to you so you can make it a priority instead of getting lost in the chaos of life. 🔮
  3. Choose one person in your life that you know really needs to receive a supportive message of appreciation today and tag them in this post. 💎

I hope you have the most wonderful and fulfilling Valentine’s Day! Communicate with the people who matter most to you.

And again, thank you for sharing this space on your social media with us. ❤


Lots of love,
Paige

How Good Can It Get? Finding Fulfillment in Life

2/9/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Instead of thinking ‘how bad can it get,’ let's focus our thinking on ‘how good can it get.’

I have a confession. I want deep fulfillment in life.

I want a life of passion, excitement, close relationships, meaningful work, and a sense that I’m contributing to make the world a better place.

But several years ago, I realized I was just going through the motions – not really behaving as if I had a commitment to achieving deep fulfillment. I think I didn’t truly believe I could have it. Instead, I just did The Next Thing I Thought I Was Supposed To Do… one after another… hoping it would all get me somewhere.

That is when I left my corporate job and joined our business full-time.

Do you know what I mean? Have you ever felt like settling for some vague sense of “good enough” was holding you back from getting what you really want? It’s a powerful realization, and I hope everyone reaches it at some point in life. It can be a crucial step toward long-term satisfaction – with your health, your body, your work… anything.

So, right now, before the year gets away from you, take a few minutes to yourself. Think or meditate. Or maybe write in your journal.

Where do you want deep fulfillment? What will it take to get there? And are you doing what’s necessary?

If you’re open to sharing, I’d love to know what you come up with.


Lots of love,
Paige

Healthy Grocery Staples List

2/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
On the days that I am not feeling like meal prepping or cooking, I am always really thankful for my grocery staples. These are the things I try to keep on-hand so that I am always ready to prepare healthy meals and snacks.

(ProTip: Save this list for when you are in a pinch.)

Staples:
  • Low-salt canned beans, tuna, salmon, tomatoes, and marinara sauce
  • Whole grain or bean pastas, brown rice, couscous, and quinoa
  • Crushed tomatoes
  • Peanut butter
  • Bags or cans of beans
  • Healthy cooking oils and nonstick vegetable spray
  • Old-fashioned rolled oats
  • Balsamic vinegar and low-sodium soy sauce
  • Dried herbs and spices
  • Frozen vegetables and fruits packed without sauces, sugar, or added salt
  • Almonds, cashews, macadamias and other nuts pack healthy omega-3s, good fat, fiber, and protein

Fresh items:
  • Fruit - bananas, strawberries, raspberries, etc...
  • Cottage cheese - paired with berries, it’s a great breakfast option
  • Yogurt - It has calcium, vitamin D, lots of protein, and it goes with berries and other fruits
  • Broccoli, tomatoes, and more whole vegetables and fruits. Get all the colors you can!
  • Chicken
  • Grass-fed ground beef

I hope this helps make your life a little bit easier on your next trip to the store!


<3
Paige
