{How Exercise Helped Me Be More Productive}



I really feel like a teenage boy. I have been so hungry since I started Crossfit.

  These are some of my favorite clips to quote. But in all honesty I have been shocked at how much consistent daily exercise has changed my mood and helped me to be more productive. I use to wake up later and feel lazy during the day. I worked to get things done but I didn't feel super motivated or energetic. I started doing crossfit with my friends at 5am. I know 5am...call me crazy. "Girl you crazy!" But I feel amazing! Since I have begun and stuck with it consistently I have more energy throughout the day and I feel motivated to get things done. I am much more productive and overall excited about life. If you have been feeling depressed, sick, lazy, or even unmotivated, then get up and get moving. I don't care what you choose to do (although I am a huge fan of crossfit and zumba) as long as you are consistent you will feel better. Endorphin's make you happy!! 

Get moving!!

Exercise = Endorphins = Happy

Love Always,

Easy Lunch for Health lovers


  This is one of my new favorite quick and healthy lunches. My chef (Aka World's Best Mom) taught me how to make this. It is the best for those days that you have waited to long to eat and are feeling quite irritated and perhaps rushed. You want something quick yet healthy. This is for you my friend! *This is a Paleo friendly food.

Here is what you will need:

1 Chicken patty (We get ours from Costco)
1 Tomato slices
1 Handful of chopped spinach
2-3 Pieces of fresh sliced mozzarella cheese
1/4 - 1/2 Sliced Avocado
T. Olive Oil
T. Balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

If we are in a real hurry the patty can be cooked in the microwave. If I have more time I do it in the oven.

Enjoy!!

Love Always,
Meg
