Support, Motivation, Assistance, Sharing, Education

Those are just some of what WIP Training is all about.  The skinny is I have created a meet up for people to get together @ a specific times and locations (outside no matter what the weather) for various types of physical activity with a Wellness Professional (me).

I plan on meeting up once a week for less then an hour to basically exercise in an outdoor setting and share my expertise of fitness and physical activity.  We could be doing the same thing or completely different kinds of exercises, but we are together and SUPPORTING each other. I’m flexible with what I work on each time and diverse with how I exercise, so no two workouts are the same, EVER!

Whether you are training for a marathon or trying to just lose weight or need a commitment to a time/location were others are counting on YOU, WIP is for you.  Its a network of people in Rochester that no matter rain or shine will BE THERE for EACH OTHER.

Many details to follow, but if you like to be active outside and improve your WELLNESS, no matter what your current level of fitness is, come join for FREE!!!

Easy Steps to Mindful Eating habits.

What is mindful eating?
Part of successful long term weight management is minimizing deprivation and eating foods that you enjoy on a regular basis. Deprivation or avoidance may work in the short-term, but usually leads to feeling out of control, self-criticism, and eating more.
It is helpful to adopt a more healthy and balanced approach to eating. This involves mindful eating: planning ahead and looking forward to eating special foods, rather than engaging in the deprivation/guilt cycle. If you truly enjoy the food, you’ll be more satisfied and are less likely to want excessive portions.

Tips for adding favorites to your meal plan:
✔ Plan ahead. Set a specific place and time to fit the food into your daily and weekly plan. This will allow you to look forward to your favorite food.
✔ Eat the food with others. There is no reason to hide or be ashamed. Eating with others will help you reinforce a more positive perspective on eating.
✔ Purchase the food in small quantities. Limiting your exposure to the sight and smell of enticing foods will
decrease the chances of overeating.
✔ Expect to want more. Old habits are hard to break. Our desire for more is based on the belief that you shouldn’t be having this, so you better eat it while you can. Remember, you can plan to have your favorite food occasionally.
✔ Savor the moment and eat slowly. If you are particularly hungry, you are likely to eat quickly and not enjoy the taste the food completely. Your goal is to fully enjoy the food you eat. Eat slowly, savor each mouthful, and enjoy the moment.

Here is a quick guide to supporting your daily eating choices:

How about taking care of you?

Wellness is comprised of equal balance (25% each for those math peps) of:
            1. Mental
            2. Emotional
            3. Social
            4. Physical

HEALTH.  Each of these dimensions is intertwine to the other, so even if one is in a negative balance then the other three are directly impacted as well.

Each moment of everyday we are practice each of these components whether that person is conscious of it or not.  Understand that not practicing something is actually a choice to not to work on the habits that comprise what we do over the course of the day.

A person has thousands of habits, but really likes to embrace those that make us feel good (Emotional Health).  I feel great in so many situations, but that took tremendous amount of actual work on my Mental side of Wellness.  Thinking about thoughts is some DEEP campfire kind of stuff!

The point of all is this is their is more to our daily experiences that WE has people have FULL CONTROL of.  I like to say excuses are like assholes, everyone has them and they stink....Be who you want, make choices that allow you to spread JOY to all those around you.  When a person practices any aspect of wellness SMILING is much easier :)

Carpe Diem & Nameste!

Know what you know.

Exercise to tone the body requires physical activity with diversity.
