The Foolproof Way to Increase Your Odds of Reaching Your Goals

Hi folks, this post comes from Erin Power, coaching director for Primal Health Coach Institute . Erin plans to post frequently to share the tips, tools, and proven strategies she’s used with her clients, students, and graduates over the past decade regarding motivation, inspiration, and achieving goals. Enjoy! You’ve likely seen the stats. Up to 92% of people never get the satisfaction of achieving their goals . But it doesn’t have to be that way. Maybe your goal is to stick to a six-hour eating window. Or improve the quality of your sleep. Or stop consuming industrialized oils. All fantastic goals. But without the right approach, you’ll be joining the ranks of the defeated faster than you can say metabolic flexibility . Why Accountability Is Key You might be telling yourself, “I’ve always been addicted to sugar”, or “these extra 40 pounds just love me too much.” While those statements might have been true for you in the past, there’s a big difference between people who reach th

A Weekend Of Sports

^^what a cute pair! We had a sports filled weekend! Thus is life with boys. I’ve always been athletic and into fitness, but I didn’t really catch on to sports until a combo of meeting Thomas (who is good at and watches everything imaginable) and Mazen getting old enough to join some teams. We had 2x basketball, 2x soccer, and our second ski trip of the year (which blended the weekend into Monday because Mazen had a teacher workday!) Next up in sportsland: golf lessons for everyone! Saturday: Basketball I started Saturday with my favorite workout class and then took a quick shower, slammed a Splendid Spoon smoothie and headed to Mazen’s last basketball game of the season.

That afternoon I organized our messy desk and some of the playroom, which is coming to a blog post in the next few weeks. Mid-afternoon Nona The Best Babysitter arrived, and Thomas and I kissed

Chicken Stir Fry Recipe

This basic chicken stir fry recipe is easy to make and tastes delicious by itself or served over rice. I do love a good stir fry, and better still is when the sauce or “glaze” is nice and thick and coats everything evenly. I’ve really taken to using arrowroot powder lately just for that reason. It’s wonderful stuff and does a great job thickening and creating that wonderful glaze we love on Asian-style foods. I have served this over rice, over cauliflower rice, and enjoyed it by itself. Any way you serve it, it’ll be quite tasty. You can substitute the arrowroot powder with cornstarch if you wish. I just prefer to avoid corn these days, so I never use it anymore. The important this to remember is that you must cook the harder parts of the bok choy first. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a dish feels too undercooked. So make sure the stalks are well cooked first.
