Thoughts on Food Freedom + Kettlebell Burpee Pyramid Workout

By

Good morning and happy MONDAY to you!

Since it’s the start of a new week, I wanted to share some #mondaymotivation related to food freedom and mindset and give you an awesome high-intensity kettlebell workout that you can do just about anywhere. It’s only two movements, but it’s definitely a challenge. I promise you’ll be a sweaty mess by the end!

Ok, here I am in typical Tina mode juggling a smoothie, a bowl of oats, and coffee! 😜

thoughts on food freedom juggling coffee and oatmeal
⠀
A few years ago, my food “rules” would have come into play at a yummy breakfast like this (we were on vacation at Club Med), and I would have been torn about what to order because I could only have the smoothie OR oatmeal – god forbid I ate both! But that’s the thing about finally finding freedom with food. When you get rid of those rules and eat what you want, you will find yourself ENJOYING your meal with no guilt.
⠀
Sure, breaking free from the strict (and silly) rules we place around food can be daunting. We often feel that if we don’t follow the specific guidelines that we set for ourselves, we will lose control and overeat. But the truth is, if you have some “bumpers” in place via macros and give yourself the permission to eat what you want, you’d be surprised to see that you’ll likely choose foods that make you feel great. One day that might be a plate of raw veggies and hummus as a snack, the other it might be a donut.

Some people might see macros as restrictive, but I see them as anything but! If anything, macros give you the food freedom and mindset to eat what you enjoy! Plus, once you have a gameplan for your choices, you’ll no longer need to obsess over what you’re craving because every meal you have permission from yourself to eat exactly what you want!⠀

I have a fun Kettlebell Burpee Pyramid workout for you that only requires a kettlebell and a little bit of space. I actually do this workout quite a bit, especially when I’m short on time.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
