I love Kettlebell workouts! You can get a great total body workout in a short amount of time. You will definitely be feeling this one tomorrow! Such a great leg and core workout!
Especially when doing Kettlebell movements remember to keep good proper form and warm up before and stretch after you exercise! You don’t even have to have an actual kettlebell weight, you can use a dumbbell too if you don’t own a kettlebell.

I love to workout with weights! I have added this routine to my workouts for a few weeks now, and I think it is great! I use 8lb weights, but you can use 3,5 or even 10 lbs if you want to. These five basic exercises target all the areas of your arms. It is a great way to have toned strong arms!

Today has not been a good nutrition day for me. To be honest, recently I have not been eating as healthy as I should be. I let the holiday candies get me very time! Easter candy is especially a major weakness for me! I have also let afternoon snacking sneak back in, and that has always been a major downfall for me!
While I am no longer actively trying to lose weight, I still need to eat the right way not only in order to keep all the weight off, but also, more importantly, in order to be healthy! Since I have been on maintenance I have not gained any weight, but I easily could if I continue to eat poorly and allow myself to snack.
I have not been as strict about keeping a food journal. I have to admit, journaling really keeps me accountable for what I eat which keeps me on track! So, I have decided that I am going to have to have to start food journaling again. It is tedious and time consuming, but it is so effective!
You may not realize it, but flexibility is just as important for you as strength and cardio! Sometimes I am so sore from a previous intense workout that I need to focus for a few days on flexibility and stretching. This is a quick 10 minute flexibility workout by (my favorite) Jessica Smith!

I love that this video has a count down clock on it. I don’t know about you, but it makes a big difference for me to be able to see the time ticking down!

Sometimes we hear about someone who is losing a bunch of weight really fast on a fad diet, it may seem like it isn’t fair. While you are doing things the right way and seeing little losses and slow progress, it can get discouraging. Don’t give up! Often with good healthy lifestyle changes the progress seems to be slow going. But anything worth doing is worth doing right! While some of these diets seem to give high weight lose quickly, often it is in an unhealthy way! If you want to have a long healthy life, you have to make permanent changes, not just quick fad diet changes. Your overall heath is much more important than being “skinny”!
Slow progress is better than NO progress. Fad diets and quick fixes are not permanent! Only good healthy lifestyle changes will last! You and your health are worth the time and effort!
You know I love me some makeup! But there is so much more to “looking (and feeling) Joli good” than just what we put on our faces every day.
What is a diet? Whether you are consciously on a “weight loss diet”or not, you still have a diet. A diet can easily be explained as the “set of food rules that you follow for yourself.” Most of us seem to want weight loss at one point or another in our lives. Is there a magic food formula? Unfortunately, still NO! We are not all genetically the same, so what is right for one person is not necessarily best for someone else.
While obesity is a major factor in a lot of diseases, it is better to focus on health at every size. Health should not just be a weight goal, but a lifestyle: lots of physical activity, regular meals, good social support. Instead of just focusing on weight loss, focusing on healthy outcomes such as less cancer, heart disease, and longer life with better quality.
Active obese people tend to live longer than skinny sedentary people.
Losing weight, while it is not easy, isn’t actually the hardest part. Maintaining that weight loss is trickier. Overly restrictive diets are hard to maintain. I am not saying that you have to change everything about your current diet, but sometimes just making small changes here and there make big differenced in the long run.
Studies have shown that something as simple as keeping track of your weight on a consistent basis helps with weight loss. As well, keeping a food journal can actually double your overall weight loss! I write down everything I eat, whether good or bad to keep myself accountable and aware of what I am actually eating. I think this is the #1 thing that has helped me to lose weight and I am hoping it will help me to maintain this weight loss in the future.
Think more about what is healthy to eat instead of all of what you should not be eating.
Most of us don’t overeat because we are hungry, we over eat because we are in the habit of overeating. Some times simple changes like putting the cookies and snacks away in the closet and instead having fruit and veggies easily accessible can make healthy dietary choices easier without being overly conscious of the change.
Moderation: less meat, more veggies, having fruit for dessert and skipping processed foods.
Also, leave room for flexibility! Make good choices 80% of the time and let yourself have a bit of indulge every once in a while. Healthy is a longterm lifestyle, not a short term quick fix.
Consistency is more important than perfection!
The first time I watched this video by Dr Mike Evens I started taking notes! I love the way that the vastness and confusion of “healthy eating” and “diets” is broken down into smaller bites (pun totally intended. :-))
Please take 15 minutes out of your busy day to watch this video!

I know I personally feel so much better overall when I eat healthier, not just physically but mentally as well. What do you think about overall health over weight?
