No cook, easy lunch for hot 🥵 days. Meijer Pre-cooked Chicken + bagged salad. 🥗 So easy. Much better for you than fast food. Protien + veggies= WIN! 🙌 Grab the cooked chicken pieces from Meijer. I like these lime/onion/garlic ones. Up by the deli doors, sold cold. Grab a bagged salad. I timed myself from car to return: walked in, grabbed the items, self check out, and back to the car 🚘 in 8 minutes. Boom 💥 You’d wait longer in line at a drive thru. So just do this! I got 4 salads worth out of this pound of pre-cooked chicken! Your body will thank you! 🥰

Wowwwww! 🤩 This podcast was SO GOood! So many aha moments.💡 Tons of information tidbits and statistics that blew. My. Mind. 🤯 One of the biggest ones was how strength training is proven to build new neuropathways in the brain, 🧠 creating grater neuro plasticity helps prevent dementia. Wow. It is longer so I broke it into two walking sessions. Listening to podcasts while I walk my dog is my favorite “me time” activity! It also busts a TON of myths for male versus female weight loss and workouts etc. SO DAMN GOOD!!! 😊 I’m actually going to listen to it a second time!

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Today's episode is a MUST listen. You will learn the surprising science of women’s exercise and nutrition, the mistakes you’re making, and the simple changes that lead to better health and longevity. For way too long, fitness and nutrition ha...

Feeling bloated? Yup, same! Heat 🥵 does that! Your rings may feel tighter, belly feel full, and legs feel swollen. That’s what heat ☀️ does! To combat retaining water- the real answer is to drink MORE water 💦 ! That will help you to flush and get your body to stop retaining water caused by this hot weather! Also- pro tip- don’t weigh yourself Monday or Tuesday! Lol 😂 Water weighs ALOT! These super hot days often mean extra water and extra weight! Wait until Thursday! 😀 You’re welcome!

Mindset 🧠 Monday! Start where you are. It doesn’t matter what day or what time. But if you wait until “life slows down” or January 1 or etc etc etc, you’ll just be older and further down the road. Start now, start small! You don’t NEED fancy tools or containers. 🙂‍↔️ You need real food and a fresh mindset. You are buying food anyhow, might as well make it fresh foods! 🥗 🥝🍓🫐🍉🍆🥬🥑🫒🥙🌮🍲🍱

Summer = salads 🥗 for so many people! Remember to build your salad starting with the good stuff! Then add your protein! Then very last add your lettuce! 🥬 This ensures that you get more of the good stuff, (generally far more nutritious than lettuce) and find your salad more satisfying! Here is an example from a couple weeks ago. I chopped all of my veggies first. Carrots 🥕 peppers 🫑 celery, tomato 🍅, and cucumber 🥒. Mixed them up. Then added Real Good chicken 🍗 tenders I did in the air fryer. Then the dressing. Then lastly, lettuce. Mix it up and bingo. Delicious!

So let’s add to your life 😍 www.freshfocusnutritionandwellness.com

Many of my clients and people I know in general are always searching for healthIER sweet 🍨🧁🍩🍭🍰 treats! This one fits that need quite well and it’s great for summer! ☀️ I don’t think the chocolate on top is needed, but that’s up to the chef (you)! I also use PB2 in here in place of the peanut butter. I love pb2 in general! Enjoy!

Five 5️⃣ tips from a Certified Nutritionist that loves to party and loves food- to make your Holiday 🇺🇸 weekend healthIER!
1️⃣ cut up HEALTHIER snacks and have them ready to put out at any time. Get that veggie tray or fruit 🍎 and cheese 🧀 tray ready ahead of time. Or when you get to your cottage/campsite today! Crack a brew 🍺 , and chop stuff up! Nothing more relaxing to me than that! 2️⃣ Have less of the cream cheese/mayo/sour cream based dips and more fruit and veggies. 🥕 Don’t deprive yourself of dips and indulgent items- just try to limit them! Life is about celebrating and friends and fun 🤩 , but you don’t want to feel like 💩!3️⃣ Use veggies as dippers into dips versus crackers. That way you are getting veggies 🥦 in! 4️⃣ Take a walk! 🚶‍♀️ This gloomy weekend weather won’t have people boating etc as much, but make sure you grab a friend and take a walk at least 2 of the 4 days! Great way to chat, check out the area, and get your exercise in 😄 5️⃣ HYDRATE! Drink 8 oz water 💦 between each beer/mixed drink/ glass of wine. I know you’re drinking wine 🍷 out of solo cups or rum and coke out of a Stanley this weekend- so be sure to drink water 💧 between refills my friends! So ideally: drink a drink 🍹, then the water, then grab friend and get your walk to the bathrooms in! Repeat! 😜🤣 Please share ANY and all photos of you do with these 5 tips! Sharing helps everyone. Here are some snack trays for inspiration!

You are never “too old” to get healthier!!! 😍This is my mom and she is ok with me sharing:) Three years ago she was on three diabetes medications PLUS Blood pressure med 💊 AND cholesterol med too. One day she had enough. She said “I don’t feel good, I have to do something.” She started walking 3 or 4 days a week, and built up her distance. She also took control of her nutrition through watching portion sizes. She started attending a local accountability group. She switched out her coffee creamer for pure protein. She stopped eating out so much. She moved more. Last year she did her first 5k. 🏃🏼‍♀️ Then another. This year at 68 years old, she took THIRD in her age division (she wasn’t trying to place)- but how amazing is this?!?? 🤩 No shots 💉, no special diet, no magic pills, no pink drink, no shakes. No logging even! 🙃 Real food, real walking. She is now only on a cholesterol med, very low dose. It’s NEVER too late, and I’m happy to help anyone at any age! 👏 My daughter placed 5th- and she’s proof that it’s never too YOUNG to encourage your kids to exercise more also! 😍

Non-negotiables in life look like this. 🙌 500 days of closing your move ring. No matter if you get sick, or have a super random condition that sends stabbing pains through your face. 😖. You move your body. Some way some how! It may be through stretching 🙆‍♀️ , yoga 🧘 , walking 🚶‍♀️ , swimming 🏊🏼‍♀️ , fishing 🎣 , kayaking, hiking, 🥾, running 🏃🏼‍♀️ or whatever- but our bodies were made to MOVE! How are you moving this weekend friends?
