How to Get More Done in Less Time

Do you feel that you are always running in circles being pulled in a million different ways. I often feel like I am on a hamster wheel running and running and getting nowhere. Can anyone relate?
Well, below I  have listed 15 steps to Get MORE done in LESS time written by the mastermind Dr. John C. Maxwell.

• Never begin the day until is is finished on paper
• Learn to say NO
• Apply the 80/20 principle in everything
• Spend your greatest amount of time with the smallest number of people
• Identify your limit factor
• Know what you want to accomplish
• Understand that "spending your time" is not a metaphor
• To make a day count make each minute count
• Realize that lost time is never found again
• Have a positive mental attitude
• Let your long-term perspective determine your short term priorities
• Ask yourself " why am I on the payroll"
• Create large chunks of time
• Put pressure on yourself
• Be self disciplined

So, try applying a couple of these rules and see how you can easily get more accomplished and be way more productive with your day!!!

Get yo' sweat on!!!

Spinning is one of my absolute Fav workouts!You def get your sweat on and burn up those calories. Lights off, music pumping, and sweat dripping!! Makes you feel like you are in a workout music video, or at least it makes me feel that way. One of the most entertaining instructors I have had actually gets off of his bike and comes around to your bike to add a little motivation, fist pumping, and jarvisms( sayings/singings....yes, he actually sings ,well,  more like raps to us!!) "No whining, no whining" ...." I work hard, 'cause I want to" ...."I'm sexy and I know it" are some of the Jarvisms that we here throughout class!!

 

 

 

If you have ever seen the show New Girl, then you have probably seen this hilarious video by Schmidt. Check out why he gets his spin on!! =)

Recipe for happy healthy Kids!

Frank  Luntz is an American political consultant, pollster, and Republican Party strategist. His most recent work has been with the Fox News Channel as a frequent commentator and analyst, as well as running focus groups after presidential debates. I had the privilege of hearing him speak at a conference recently.  Look at the checklist below and see if you are providing a nourishing  environment for a happy, healthy child.

1. Do you have dinner with your kids? You already know how passionate I am about this subject.
2. Do you take them to church. Kids will learn how to behave and show respect better towards themselves and others.
3. How often do you check your child's homework? This shows that you care about them.
4. Do you go on trips with your family? Put away the phone and have real and meaningful conversation with your kids? Whats their best friends name? Their teachers name? Do you know the answer to these simple questions?
5. Do your kids tell you the truth of where they are going?
6. Do they participate in a team sport? So many important facets can be learned through playing team sports.

So, ask yourself these questions. If some areas need a little tweaking then why not start now? It's never to late to make changes. =)

Healthy habits for kids and Recipe blogs I LOVE!

        I am so passionate about helping kids create healthy eating habits at a young age. I have been a nanny for yrs and am a substitute teacher now as I finish up my teaching degree. Stats show that the prevalence of overweight children ages 6-11 has TRIPLED!! Parents, you play such a vital role in your children's lives. Little eyes are always watching what you do. Applaud yourself for making healthy lifestyle changes in your own life, because as you do this your children will see the benefits of eating healthy and exercising and want to be like you. Say no to fast food, or try just having it once a wk!! I know life gets busy and evenings are a hectic time , but try sitting down as a family for dinner at least 3 times a wk. It is a great time to reconnect and shows your kids that you care. Put AWAY your phones for 15 min and have a convo with your kids! Growing up as busy as we were playing sports we still managed to have family dinners a couple times a wk. I will cherish those special times. Most importantly STOP buying junk food for your kidos and fast food every night of the wk!!Yes, let your kids treat themselves, but not everyday. They will thank you later when they reach high school and adulthood and don't have to fight the battle of the bulge and get on high blood pressure and other meds. 70% of the population is obese!! I am more than happy to be the minority in this case!!  Sorry for the rant! I am just so passionate about this. Kids eat what you buy them. They can't drive to the store themselves, so provide them with healthy and yummy foods. Even make the memories of cooking together!!   

Here are some helpful blogs with yummy recipes.

 

*** If you click on the sites I have below it will direct you to the blogs, so you can discover some yummy recipes for yourself!!





~Skinny Taste- has lots of great ideas
~ Chocolate Covered Katie- this blog is kinda amazingggg!! So many healthy and yes, yummy dessert recipes!!! I am obsessed!!
~ Dashing Dish- this blog has yummy and healthy alternatives to foods you crave!!

Doesn't this look yummy?!! Clean eating crockpot chicken tacos and ONLY 107 calories per serving!! Busy moms, throw this in the crockpot and you will have some happy kids!!

 

Weightloss for life!! Unlock your genes to fit in those skinny jeans!!

Tired of fighting the battle of the buldge and trying EVERY diet out there? I know I was, thats why I took a simple genetic dna test to determine what lifestyle change I needed to make that would help me reach my goals. It's NOT  a diet, but truly a lifestyle change that was specific to my needs. Read below for more info and see how you can unlock YOUR skinny jeans!!

 

 

Know YOUR genes:

 

Just as researchers understand how genetics determines your height, eye, and skin color, they’re beginning to understand how your genes affect your ability to lose weight.

Research shows that people following a diet matched to their genotype actually lost more weight.

By taking the Inherent Health® Weight Management Genetic Test, you’ll unlock the personalized plan that is right for you – either Carb Reducer™, Better Balancer™, or Fat Trimmer™.


MY results

I was sooo excited to take the guess work out of the game and get my results back!!! The results showed that I am a better balancer!! Ever wander why a diet might work for you,but maybe not for someone else? It's because they are eating wrong for their gene type. For example, my dad actually GAINED weight on a high protein diet. He felt sluggish and just yucky. Wanna know why? After getting his results back he found out that he was  Fat Trimmer and that's why a high protein diet didn't work for him, so he switched to how he should actually be eating and saw immediate results!!
