FOOD for THOUGHT Reward Yourself Respectfully

THINK

before you "reward" yourself with a "treat"

Is it really a "treat" or "gift" to put something in your body that

Will contribute to your demise

Will make you feel guilty once consumed

Will require you to spend more time working out than spending time with the ones you love

Reward Yourself Respectfully!

Take a Nap

Get a Massage

Take a Yoga or Stretch Class

Put some money in the bank for a vacation

Enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal alone or with great company

Hug and kiss someone you love

Wishing you a happy and healthy day!

FOCUS = INTENSITY = RESULTS

Food for Thought from Melissa Adylia Gutierrez
Owner/Personal Trainer
Controlled Burn Fitness

FOCUS = INTENSITY = RESULTS

When we stay in the moment of any task, the results are better.
Whether you're at work, cooking, or working out, the more respect you pay to the task at hand, the more the results will be to your liking.

Pay attention

Stay in the moment.
You may think multi-tasking will get you more results

but all you really get is a lot of things done half-assed.

If you're feeling that the results you desire are evading you
You may want to reexamine the focus and intensity you are putting into reaching your goals

You get what you give

 Would you hire someone who has a work ethic that resembles the effort
you put into the way you take care of your health and fitness?
Some people would have to rethink the energy, intensity, and focus that they put into each of their workouts if  their careers depended on this example of work ethic.

Wishing you a Happy, Healthy, and Productive Day!

Food for Thought

Thoughts on "Fasting"

from Melissa Adylia Gutierrez Owner/Personal Trainer of Controlled Burn Fitness

Fasting

DON'T DO IT
Eating food, real food, clean food, is the best way to "cleanse" the system.

Denying your body of what it needs doesn't "cleanse" it, it just shuts down the metabolism and creates a false sense of enlightenment by depriving your brain/body of what it needs and creates bad habits in the long run.

Take a moment to really "see" the people who "fast"/"cleanse".

Do you really like what you "see" in them?

Are they really they type of person that you feel is an excellent example

of a happy, healthy, and balanced lifestyle?

Be kind to your body.

Treat your body with respect, kindness, and consideration.

More importantly, feed your body with food that fuels and nourishes.

Wishing you a happy and healthy day!

Words of Wisdom from Melissa Adylia Gutierrez of Controlled Burn Fitness

Our bodies respond to how we treat them or neglect them

Do not resent a body that is not performing the way you want it to perform.

Take a moment and think about how you've been treating your body.

You should treat it as you would treat your best friend/ loving spouse/the way you want to be treated...with respect, kindness, and consideration.
