Here is a testimonial from one of our recurring participants:
"I love the refresh group because it keeps me accountable. I try my best to workout as often as possible, and Alex provides great variety with her workouts, and Kara's recipes give me the motivation to make healthy food choices. The refresh group is a time for me to escape and focus on myself and my strength " -Lindsay S. (Health & Fitness Total Refresh Participant)
Want to get a jumpstart on your healthy eating? Here are some great ideas to get you started:
Kara Patchniuk - Professional Nutritionist
· Keep good nutrition in mind when grocery shopping. Shop for most of your clean, healthy food items from around the perimeter of the store. Keep shopping from the interior of the store to a bare minimum. Choose to make your own items like pasta sauce, ketchup, salad dressing, breadcrumbs, mac and cheese, flavored rice, etc.
· Make sure to load ½ of your plate with vegetables at each meal.
· Manage binge eating with exercises like marching in place, stretching, dancing, or a 30-minute walk.
· Drink water first when you think you are feeling hungry. Your body most likely is feeling dehydrated and water will satisfy your hunger pangs.
· Plan your weekly lunch and dinner meals ahead of time. This process eliminates binge eating, mealtime stress, and adds back some time into your daily schedule to exercise or rest for a few minutes.
· When sitting down to a meal, eat slowly. Savor every bite. Pay attention to the food going into your mouth. Reading or talking on the phone during a meal will leave you feeling hungry because you might not remember eating at all.
· Set yourself up for snacking success by having on hand easy to prep foods like cut-up veggies and/or fruits, nuts and seeds, yogurt cups, water bottles, apple and natural peanut butter, etc.
· Get the whole family involved with clean and healthy eating by communicating your intentions. Together, create a family game plan that will help the whole family support one another and stay healthy and energized.
· Get good sleep. At least 8 hours each night if possible. Rest when you need to.
· Use the nutrition and exercise videos as often as you can to help you stay motivated and inspired.
Here is another testimonial from a participant that utilizes the group in a different way:
"I know I suck at participation during the program, but I absolutely love having the videos to refer back to when I get a chance. I especially enjoy having them when I go to the gym to lead me through a workout when I don't have one planned myself." - Helena P. (Total Refresh Participant)
