Weekend Wellness Warriors

It's Friday, and the weekend is here. I don't know about you but the weekend offers plenty of opportunity to do great things and not so great things. Does that sound familiar to you?

Often we don't cook as much, we might go out a bit more. We might have a bit more wine, or a margarita or beer. We might sit all afternoon watching football Saturday AND Sunday.

The weekend is an easy time for us to get off base with our wellness plans. But, it also offers opportunities to do MORE wellness activities. From the simple things like going to a festival (walking a lot) to family bike rides, grilling healthy meats and veggies and more.......these opportunities are there for the taking. I like the idea of doing something with family, especially if you have kids. This helps them learn the value of a wellness lifestyle, and sets a good example for them, which can affect the generations to come.

I love the phrase, "People don't plan to fail, they fail to plan". It's so true in every aspect of life, and wellness is no exception. Plan out your weekend in a wellness way.

Until next time...BE WELL

A Wellness Oriented Schedule

It's Sunday evening, the week starts tomorrow. Do you know if you're going to be more or less well by the end of the week? You probably should.

If we don't plan it, chances are it's not going to happen. When are we doing to exercise? What challenges do we see in the schedule to eating well this week and what can we do to minimize those affects? Where do we have some downtime scheduled to really rest and de-stress? What plans do we have for improving our sleep hygiene?

All of those questions can lead us to planning out our week. It's what I am about to do now at 9:57 pm Sunday night. Plan out your week as best as possible to improve your chances of being more well when you end the week than we you started. It can be done!

Until next time...BE WELL!
