D-I-E-T is a 4-letter word. In order to make it a D-I-E-T is a 4-letter word.

3 REASONS TRACKING IS KEY FOR SUCCESSFUL HEALTHY L 3 REASONS TRACKING IS KEY FOR SUCCESSFUL HEALTHY LIVING:⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 1. ACCOUNTABILITY: When in doubt, write it out. Because if you don't, in your brain, did it really happen?⁠⠀ 2. FEELINGS MATTER: Food amnesia is a thing - track feelings as well as quantity of food so you connect with the what and the why⁠⠀ 3. IT ISN'T JUST FOOD...all wellness should be tracked for total body awareness⁠⠀ ________________⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I operate under a philosophy that coaches clients to truly FEEL THEIR FOODS. Food has physical, mental, and emotional affects on your body. We are so hyper-focused on the fleeting comforts we get emotionally, that we conveniently forget that some foods indeed make us feel like crap! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Something to think about: that dose of happiness you get from that bite of chocolate or taste of cheese fries? That lasts all of 20 seconds. Is that 20 seconds worth the hours of discomfort you feel afterwards? ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ "WHEN IN DOUBT, WRITE IT OUT" is a catchphrase I ask my clients to remember....it is not just a food diary, but I task my clients with a daily “wellness” diary that is not solely about quantity of food + drink, but about the quality, how you feel before and after meal, how your energy levels are throughout the day…it’s about your whole body health, which is directly related to your state of being + not just the number on the scale. It's about sleep + stress patterns, workouts, steps/daily movement, water intake, + more.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #wellnesscoach #wellnesstips #selfcarehacks #livingwithashley #wellpreneur #wellnessgoals #wholefoodnutrition #nutritioncoaching #healthyeatinghabits #eatwelllivewell #healthyeatingtips #cleaneatinglifestyle #nutritionplan #mindfuleating #fitnessmom #fitnessmotivation #workouttime #sweatylife #fitnesschallenge #fitspogirl
MINDFUL MONDAY NUTRITION COACHING: Don’t let y MINDFUL MONDAY NUTRITION COACHING: Don’t let your emotions, stomach, or historical + habitual behaviors guide your food choices. It’s about being smart. Every single time you reach for food. Use your brain. S.M.A.R.T. Sit down with plated, portioned meals, Make mealtime mindful, Act on needs vs wants, Recognize regrets from past food choices, Take time, slow down, eat with intention. Food is fuel. It’s medicine. It’s a natural beauty product. Food is life and brings us life. We should be eating to live (well,) not living to eat. We need nutrients for energy, not gluttony, pure enjoyment, or emotional support. Remind yourself of what you NEED vs what you WANT from your food before making a decision. #nutritioncoaching #healthyeatinghabits #healthyeatingtips #nutritionplan #mindfuleating #intuitiveeating #weightlosstips #motivationalcoach #livingwithashley #rawwellnssscoaching #getrawgethealthy
A full fridge means you have a plan!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ A full fridge means you have a plan!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Grocery shopping shouldn't be a chore. I know not everyone loves grocery shopping like I do, so efficiency is key to get in + get out with what you need for a week of healthy meals.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ GROCERY SHOPPING HACK: ALWAYS HAVE A LIST...⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ You can divide it into sections based on how you move through the store. When I walk in, I am in the produce section first, so that's the top of my list.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ***Note: outer aisles (the perimeter method) generally host the whole, clean, essential foods vs interior aisles that are generally packaged processed foods.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Have alternatives/substitutes in mind or written down for things that are commonly out of stock.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Save your lists so you can quickly snag it when you repeat a meal prep menu for a week when you don't have time to plan anything new.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #fitfoods #cookhealthy #cleancooking #livingwithashley #cleaneatingrecipes #cookingtips #mealpreprecipes #mealprepideas #wholefoodnutrition #nutritioncoaching #healthyeatinghabits #eatwelllivewell #healthyeatingtips #groceryhacks #cleaneatinglifestyle #nutritionplan #mindfuleating⁠⠀

GIVING + RECEIVING LOVE MAKES YOU HEALTHIER⁠⠀ GIVING + RECEIVING LOVE MAKES YOU HEALTHIER⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Did you know that love (when truly accepted,) not only reduces stress and eases anxiety, but it helps you live longer?⁠ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ SHOW ME THE LOVE: With love, Dopamine, the “feel good” chemical, is released in the brain. It is a mood intensifier and makes people feel appreciated while heightening positivity. Well, hello overall happiness! When people feel loved + secure in their close relationships, their stress levels are also reduced; literally balancing out the cortisol and adrenaline levels in the body. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING: Anxiety is brought about with feelings of loneliness or lack of “love;” which can increase insecurity, cortisol, adrenaline, and lead to inflammation and even physical pain. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ LIVE LONGER WITH LOVE: Studies suggest life-long benefits of close, loving relationships (in all forms,) are largely explained by consistent social and emotional support. This support leads to better adherence to medical care thanks to having people who hold you accountable for living healthy and guide you away from negative habits and behaviors.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ TAG ANYONE YOU WANT TO SHARE THE LOVE WITH + BOOST THEIR “HAPPY” FEELS⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #emotionalwellness #mentalwellness #spreadthelove #thoughtfulthursday #wellnesscoach #wellnesstips #selfcarehacks #livingwithashley #wellnesshacks #coachinglife #lifecoachingtips #mindfullife #motivationalthoughts #motivationalcoach #dailyinspo⁠⠀
