How do you talk to yourself?
If you walked around all day long and someone had a secret cassette tape, recording your every thought and feeling....how would it playa back?
Get over shitting on yourself.
If you have a cookie or an ice cream. If you don't get your workout in.
It hasn't worked before.
It won't work now.
But more....
How do you speak to yourself when you are planning to workout?
How do you speak to yourself when you are preparing healthy meals, having a glass of water, writing in a journal?
Our body and our mind are in constant dialogue. This is why, after spending a few weeks on a Healthy Six nutrition plan, if you eat something that is "off beam" your body lets you know. It isn't that you are never eating pizza again - but if your body has not had gluten or dairy for weeks, the tummy talks.
The same with exercise. Beyond a doubt, the single greatest motivator for exercising - in my life - is the mental health benefits. It is also why i love the daily 630-7 AM start for the FITFAM. Yes, it is hard to get up. I get that. But, when you are done your workout before 8 AM there is a grand tick in the box that you keep all day. It's why I LOVE Dose snacks. (four more in the portal!)
Whether it is an exercise snack, or a 10-20 minute portal program, try starting your day with exercise and see how it changes your mindset.

Ginger contains over 400 natural compounds, and some of these are anti-inflammatory. Although research is studies will help us determine if eating ginger has any impact on conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or respiratory inflammation.
I love ginger, and have included some great recipes below. But this week, why not peel a ton of thinly sliced ginger, toss it in a pot with water, perhaps have a little honey and lemon and sip on it? Notice your gut later!
