Spice up your salad!

Eating healthy is a task and can be very boring and tasteless. One of the key healthy foods we tend to eat is salads. I have found a great way to make salads taste better. Add a corn salsa. You can find these at your local grocery store in the produce section, usually next to the pre-made salad mixes. Adding things like salsa, or tapanades of some kind really spice up a salad. It sort of feels like your eating mexican food without the added starches that most mexican dishes have! Next time your at the grocery, pick up some corn salsa, it also goes great with eggs!! Bon Appetit!

Take the first step.

The first step to a successful exercise plan is determing what factors have inhibited the process. List out difinitive reasons why your fitness plan or lack of has failed in the past. This will enable you to see what the limitations and barriers were when you began or stopped your workout program. It may be diet, lack of a workout partner, unknowledable about the workouts (e.g how much, how often, what type.) Whatever the reasons are, the bottom line is to get underneath the problem. Some issues are more easy to overcome than others when it comes to working out. Most people suffer from the biggest obstacle, that being consistency. With that said, as you are making the list of limitations, see what items link together to mean the same thing. For example, if you have listed diet once and unfamiliarity of the right foods as another, you have a linked listed item. Generally speaking, the items you have reiterated in a different forms will be your problem with exercise. It is much easier to get to the root of the problem than lumping all of your workout issues together to find a solution. Start your list today, its your first step.

Note: If you like, you can email me your list and I can help narrow down your issues to aid in centralizing the root problem of your workout regime.
