☀️ Here's the help you need for the fading days of summer ...
As Summer is nearing its end in the United States (cue Rebecca's tears 😭), many of us are trying to take full advantage of the chance to enjoy outdoor living. Vacations or weekend trips to the beach, pool, or lake often mean temptations in the form of frozen cocktails.
If we choose to imbibe (be safe and responsible, of course!), then we need to realize that many of the mixers used in these drinks are FULL of sugar. Add a generous fruit garnish ... or even the fun colored sugar crystals on the rim ... and you may be getting a day's worth of carbs in a single drink!
If you'd like some inside info on how you can enjoy a drink or two without wrecking your keto diet or low-carb lifestyle, then you're definitely going to want to check out this episode. (Even though the video was made in mind of New Year's celebrations, the advice within it still applies!)
Ready to get ALL of your eating and drinking back on track? It's a great time to join our 21-Day Challenge! Enrollment ends Friday, and the fun starts on Monday.
Yours in Keto,
Rebecca
Exercise Myths
May 10, 2021
This summer, it's time to get creative with your exercise. Your kiddos are home from school, your schedule may be a bit more flexible, and the weather is incredible!
Maybe try a few at-home workouts you find for FREE on YouTube. Or, even hop in the neighborhood pool for a couple of laps, and then grab your kiddos and go for a bike ride. Whatever your choice of movement, make sure your number one goal is to have FUN!
Often, we take exercise way too seriously. We sign up for a HUGE undertaking with a personal trainer, commit our wallets and time to a gym that is not even en route to our workplaces, and believe in our hearts that anything less than an hour-long workout is pointless.
This is just NOT TRUE! As long as your body is moving, your heart and brain and soul will most definitely thank you!
So grab your headphones and enjoy this podcast from the KETO-SIStas while you clean those dreaded bathrooms and change ALL the sheets in the house. (Yes, cleaning is an excellent form of exercise and TOTALLY counts.) This story will encourage you for sure!
And if you choose to exercise outside, enjoy an added bonus of Vitamin D!
