This week we're solving the next issue that can throw our hunger and hormones out of whack - HANGER.
While you may not always have a diet that ensures you eat every 2-4 hours, this week, we are creating a timing that will allow you to understand your hunger queues, reduce mindless eating, help reduce cravings, and balance your blood sugar levels. So stick with this schedule, keep it clean, and let's continue Nourishing Your Body For Weight Loss™!
This week will continue to balance your hormones as well as bring your mindfulness to a new level as we get back in the driver's seat to begin making choices that feel awesome.
+Create your sleep routine
Set a bedtime
Turn off screens 30 minutes before bedtime
Create a routine before bed to signal to your body you’re ready to sleep and trigger your melatonin production that will help increase the quality of your sleep and reduce night time wake ups.
Slow down on sugar and alcohol 2-3 hours before bed, minimum.
Watch the healthy ZZZZs roll in and wake up feeling better than you thought possible.
+Meditate every day
Even 3 minutes is enough! Anytime, anywhere! Hide in the bathroom and focus on your breathing or find an affirmation or power statement that helps you feel in control and say that to yourself.
Apps like Calm and Headspace (and so many more) have great short guided meditations. Guided meditations are great for helping us connect to and release our negative feelings and get to know ourselves in a deeper and more loving way. I love the ones in my Mama Mecca - so check those out, too!
+ Nutrition challenge: Eat veggies with every meal this week!
We're creating new routines with this course and exploring new habits. This week I'm challenging you to get in at least one type of vegetable with every meal. This challenge will help flood you with vitamins and minerals, as well as help you explore new eating patterns and break out of your routines.
+BONUS Fitness Goal:
Get in 20+ minutes of elevated heart rate every day!
Do 2 minutes of planks every day - broken up into 20-30sec or all at once! Add a min. of side plank on each side to kick it up! Click here for a video about proper form and modifications
