Okie dokie--So for today's post, I wanted to focus on saying GOODBYE 2015 and HELLO 2016, food mishaps (that you think you may have done to yourself in 2015) and 4 tips to make 2016 YOUR best year yet!!!
Here-we-go (insert Joker's voice from Dark Knight if you've seen it, or watch it here ) My jokes are a bit crazy...but bare with me. 2015 was a good year for me for the most part. I graduated college, found a marketing job, and recovered from my eating troubles, and started Coached by Kayla! :) I couldn't ask for anything more really. It had its ups and downs but that's ok! It made it through it. As far as 2016, I don't know what my future will entail this year but it's gonna be another great year I'm sure!
Anywho, now on to my next topic...how many times have you thought you ate too many cookies during Christmas, or too much pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, and let's back up till Halloween...remember those snickers in your kids pumpkin bucket? So yes you ate some apple pie at Christmas and egg nog, maybe some pumpkin at Thanksgiving, and a snickers or two for Halloween. Did you ruin anything? No. This Shoula Coulda Woulda attitude is all a matter of perspective. We tell ourselves we "ruined" everything because it's what we see/hear from others! Whoops---Shouldn't ate that---Man, I've really messed up....All this phrases are nonsense. If you binge on these things (like candy, cookies, cake, etc...) during the holidays pause for a second and realize you can have Christmas cookies ALL YEAR LONG, really you can. Just because Santa's in December, doesn't mean you can't bake in July right?! Truth of the matter, it's a learning experience. It's ALL a learning experience. Remember the Three P's next time you find yourself beating yourself up for too many peanut butters balls or grandma's chocolate pie.
Purpose: (Why am I eating this)--Am I really hungry, bored, or feel obligated from others?
Practice: (Take it slow---Be kind---Try to take a bite, lay the fork down between bite, ENJOY your food, savor, taste each bite slowly)
Payoff: (Will it be fitting in that bikini for you? Or will it be to not be afraid of food? or both? What are YOU excited about the most when you listen to your body and what he/she wants?)
One Halloween I remember I could not stop eating all the chocolate, I ate some many kit-kat's, reese's, babe ruth's, whatever I could find really, then started a "diet" tomorrow. It ate so many the chocolate didn't even taste good......All that was left was me feeling empty and unsatisfied looking at all the wrappers laying on the floor. Remember PURPOSE, PRACTICE, and PAYOFF! It works :)
Now, being the best YOU is possible. Anything is possible if we put our minds to it. What does having the best 2016 mean for YOU? My ideal year would be to start a family, get in the best shape mentally and physically I've ever been in, and learn a new hobby. Comment below what you'd like to accomplish in 2016.
Things/Ideas you can do to make 2016 YOUR BEST YEAR EVER is to:
1.) Take time for yourself (reading, knitting, crafting, bike riding, and just simply breathing)
2.) Make time for others (visit friends, family, and/or co workers for lunch)
3.) Buy a new outfit (I need to do this too!)
4.) Do something spontaneous for a change (if you're not adventurous this may take some time but it's worth the investment to surprise someone)
Hope this post inspired you to not have the diet mentality once more. I'm offering this week only free phone call consultations for you. They'll last 45-60 minutes. Feel free to comment and let me help you make YOU the BEST YOU! <3
Much love,
Kayla
