Your November Workouts Are Here!

Image
Hey, hey! Happy Friday, friends! Ok, so I’m trying something new over here. I was originally going to share a November workout plan via the CNC newsletter (btw, THANK YOU to those of you who signed up!), but then I thought publishing them on the blog was a much better idea since this month can be an especially tough time to stay motivated. All of these  workouts can be done in the comfort of your own home (or gym) with minimal equipment, which means you can do them just about anywhere when it’s most convenient for you (i.e. during nap time, business travel, lunch break, etc.). Each one is 30 minutes or less, so they’re quick and efficient– giving you the most bang for your buck. That said, here are your November Workouts   (and giveaway details) to keep you moving and grooving all month long! If you guys like this workout series, please let me know. I’d love to continue it in the future! Happy sweating!! from Carrots 'N' Cake http://ift.tt/2eXyzmy

6 Lightened-Up Sweets for a Healthier Halloween

Halloween is not the night to restrict your diet, but that doesn’t mean your evening of revelry should be quashed by a sugar coma. If you’re hosting a party this year, skip store-bought sweets and opt for homemade goodies instead. Don’t hesitate to whip up everyone’s favorites — cookies, candies, even a cocktail or two. But a few mindful alterations (and moderation) can save you from a sugar hangover the next morning. Here are five festive recipes that are sure to hit the spot without going overboard. Spider Bites Sandra Lee’s homemade chocolate-peanut butter clusters are incredibly quick and convenient — and at a glance, they’ll raise the hair on the back of your neck. The recipe calls for creamy peanut butter; for an extra fiber boost, use all-natural PB. Spiced Pumpkin-Raisin Cookies Normally, a Halloween dessert spread consists of a heaping bowl of store-bought candy, but these homemade pumpkin-raisin cookies are geared toward a more mature crowd. Simply add pumpkin puree and

I’ve been writing a blog a day for the last decade, and I’m not gonna stop. But I was thinking, what about those days when my readers don’t have a full few minutes to read through an entire post? I can still reach and inspire on a limited word count, right? That impetus spawned the creation of Primal Blueprint’s latest publication: The Primal Blueprint Day-to-Day 2017 Calendar . We just got a limited shipment in, so I wanted to tell all my Mark’s Daily Apple readers about it in case you’d like to order the calendar in plenty of time for 2017. Each month is inspired by a Primal Blueprint lifestyle law or Primal Connection law . For instance, we start January with Law #1 Eat Lots of Plants and Animals, and each day of the week reflects that law with a recipe, an exercise, a nature connection, or an activity that helps you de-stress and recalibrate to primal balance. It’s a terrific resource of easily digestible daily tidbits to keep you focused, inspired, and enlightened with primal

This post is sponsored by Rescue Stress is a fact of life, and we all go through periods of more or less stress. So often people use the term “de-stress,” but we can’t remove the stress from our lives – but we can control how we react to it. I have had bigger stresses come and go over the past few years – cancer on both sides of the family, the loss of grandparents, parting ways with my husband. While at the time those major life events caused a lot of worry, most of the stress and anxiety I experience on a daily basis revolves around trying to wear two different hats at the same time: a businesswoman and a mother. Balancing life as a “singlepreneur” (aka one-woman business) and a mom can be quite the challenge, as neither role ever completely turns off. So often I credit myself with being an excellent multitasker, but I have started to wonder if that means I’m not giving 100% to things that deserve my focused attention. For example, I might receive an email from a client that a
