Welcome to the

Summer Refresh

Le​t’s go!

Welcome..​.

As we embark on the last half of the summer ​I realized how life had gotten away from me. I​t was another lunch I had forgotten to prep​, another snooze button I had hit, another pizz​a we grabbed for dinner. As I took a bite of th​e fast food sandwich last Friday that taste​d disgusting I drew a line in the summer sand​.​


If the summer has gotten away from you to​o and you need a summer refresh then follow m​y sandy toes as we revamp our schedule, meal​s and moving our bodies​.

For me food is where it begins. It sets the tone of ​how I feel, how much energy I have and how my ​brain functions.


With the long summer days I look to meals that ​are cool and can be made fast.


Enjoy!

I’ll show you the program I will be doing ​during the Summer Refresh.

Its 20min a day which means you can get it ​done quick then head off for summer fun.


But whatever “movement” you choose ​remember:


  • Movement is essential for stress ​management.
  • No, I don’t think chasing after kids is ​all your movement should be - I ​believe in focused time for YOU.
  • Yes - I believe they can be quick, don’t ​require equipment or a gym ​membership (because who really ​wants to drive to the gym?!)
  • Having a routine of moving your body ​increases confidence, lowers stress, ​and keeps your body moving well for ​when you are chasing kids.

Morning Routine ​Habits​

A morning routine that energizes you and ​sets you up for the day is worth the wake ​up call.


The last 2 months I didn’t make my ​morning routine a priority and I attribute ​things going off the rails to that.


If you feel like you’re constantly “behind” ​then give this morning routine a try for at ​least 2 weeks.

Morning smoothie + an extra ​protein if you have time

if your space is quiet while you ​are doing your skincare routine I ​would play a motivational podcast ​during this time.

Home Habits

Home Habits

Use the recipes to ​plan your meals for ​the week. Make extra ​servings of dinner to ​have for lunch the ​next day.

Your paragraph text

Plan a picnic, buy ​fresh flowers, light a ​candle.


Do little things that will ​help you savor ​summer.

Take 15 min to tidy up ​your space. Set a timer ​on your phone or watch ​and blitz as much as ​you can. I try to make ​this a fun game with my ​3 year old.

Start a load of ​laundry every ​morning. This ​eliminates big laundry ​days and your ​favorite swimsuit ​being ​dirty.

Set out your cup, ​supplements, ​workout clothes and ​airpods the night ​before.
