Hey there! If you ate too much at your Superbowl party yesterday, you’re not alone! I must admit that I partook in a bit of white queso dip, guacamole, 7-layer dip and chips, these ridiculously yummy honey-barbeque-dark rum-smoked wings, and a beer to top it all off. Well, it was all yummy at the time. Writing it down is another story!
The good news is you won’t gain REAL weight if you immediately get back to eating healthy and regularly exercising. Right now what you’re seeing on the scale is mostly water weight. Now, if you keep eating and drinking everyday like you did at the Superbowl party, well, your pants will be super-tight super-quick.
To reduce some belly bloat and to get right back into shape, do my quick 10 MINUTE WORKOUT! That’s right – 10 minutes and you’ll forget about all those wings you ate! Here you go:
JUSTINE’S AWESOME 10 MINUTE WORKOUT:
30 seconds jumping jacks
30 seconds squats
30 seconds walking lunges
30 seconds pushups
30 seconds side squats (just step side to side and squat)
30 seconds jump rope in place (just pretend you have a jump rope and jump while circling your wrists)
30 seconds tricep dips (Put your hands on the edge of a chair and dip your body up and down – your triceps will burn!)
30 seconds mountain climbers
30 second plank
30 second REST
REPEAT EVERYTHING ONCE!
That’s 10 minutes of serious calorie burn. Do this in the morning and go on with your day! You’ll burn more calories ALL DAY LONG!

Ooohhhhhh…… the SORENESS!!
OH MY GOODNESS! Ladies (and gents), if you want a real kick-in-the booty to whip you into shape fast, you should try Crossfit! I have to admit, I was scared to try it at first! They work out in these metal warehouses with no air conditioning sometimes and there are sweaty men and women everywhere. But you know what? They are in shape. Some of them are in RIDICULOUS shape, actually! That was what intimidated me – that everyone would be so much better than me. But what’s my motto? Feel the Fear and DO IT ANYWAY!!
If you’ve read about Crossfit, the philosophy behind the workout makes sense! It’s a high intensity workout for only 12-20 minutes, and it completely exhausts the muscle group you’re working on that day. It combines the moves of Olympic powerlifters and gymnasts and sprinters and traditional military moves and everything else under the sun into one, succinct workout. You will do things in the workout you never thought possible!
The cool thing about Crossfit is that you can go to any “Box” near you (as they call it), and have an intro session for free. I suggest checking out a few “boxes” to see which one is the fit for you! Some are more indoors, some are more “manly,” some are cleaner, some are dirtier, some have an indoor toilet…. I went to three before I found the one I liked. You want to meet with the coach and meet some of the other people taking it. Everyone is SUPER friendly and SUPER supportive of each other! That’s what I like the most. You go at your own pace, you do your best, everyone encourages you, and you literally accomplish more than you thought possible. Our bodies are amazing machines!
I found a women’s only group near me and I’m really enjoying it. It’s tough – I’m not gonna lie. Your first workout may make you want to puke. But you know what? The next workout gets easier, and the next one gets even easier, and you get so, so strong so, so fast! There are women of all shapes and sizes and ages and fitness levels in mine.
After trying this out for a month, I’ll post my results. Yesterday all we did was jumping rope and sit-ups. That’s it. For 15 minutes. Nonstop. And every time I move while typing this post, my abs hurt. But BOY does it feel good! Wonder what we’ll do tomorrow?
Go try one out. I dare ya! http://crossfit.com/
Yours in Health,
Justine

Creating a Healthy Lifestyle is as Easy as Step 1, Step 2, Step 3!
The time for New Year’s resolutions is here and if you are like every other person out there, you’ve made a resolution to get healthy and lose weight! Then if you are STILL like every other person out there, a few weeks later you’ll give up and say “Oh well! Maybe next year….”
Being a former gym owner, I saw this trend occur year after year. You’re not alone! Let’s make THIS year different and keep those resolutions!
Most people give up on their New Year’s resolutions because the transition into a healthy lifestyle can seem overwhelming at first. If you break it down into simple steps, then this CAN be the year that you get healthy, lose weight and keep it off. Let’s break down adopting a healthy lifestyle to 3 Simple Steps.
There are several trends that most people fall into that are living a not-too-healthy lifestyle. They eat too many of the wrong foods, don’t exercise enough, get too little sleep, don’t drink enough water, drink too much caffeine, and eat too many sugary and salty snacks. Do any of these trends apply to you in your life? Pick one trend that needs changed in your life and focus on that. Then take a moment and write down 3 Simple Steps that you can follow to ease your transition.
How to write these steps? Break it down. For example, if a person eats too many of the wrong foods, then their three steps could be “Bring lunch to work,” “Add more vegetables to dinner” and “Clean out the pantry.” Or they can be “Eat breakfast,” “Eat a healthier snack at 3pm rather than a candy bar,” and “Don’t give in to that late-night craving for ice cream.”
There are many little steps you can write down for whichever area of your life you decide to change, but just choose 3 small steps that you know you can keep. These little steps build on each other like a domino effect. Soon enough, your new healthy lifestyle was as easy as Step 1, Step 2, Step 3!
