31 Days to a Better Body: Day 21 – KISS: Keep It Simple Superhero

Keep It Simple Superhero!


(source)

There is so much to be said for simplicity in all areas of life.  In regards to health, the simpler my workouts, my food, and my routine the easier it is to stick with it all.

I create simple workouts using exercises that give me the most bang for my buck.  For me, the more complicated a routine the harder it is to stick with it.  I like to “get er done” and move on my with life.  I workout at home or at parks near my house.  I use minimal equipment.  I make it interesting by giving myself simple challenges such as how many reps can I get done in a set time.

I love a gourmet meal as much as the next person but for day-to-day dinners we keep it simple.  Grilled or roasted meats, veggies, and fruits make up the majority of our diet.  I always keep a variety of seasonings and dressings on hand for variety.  I have about 14 favorite meals that I rotate through most nights of the week and one or two nights I experiment with new recipes.  If I make a more complicated main dish I’ll have a simple side dish or vice versa.

Life is complicated enough on it’s own without having to make complex dinners or keep up with hard to follow exercise programs.

Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

I'm so happy you stopped by my little corner of the web where I write about fitness, food, and amazing women I "meet". I live in California with my wonderful husband and two rambunctious boys. I'm a personal trainer and dreamer. I enjoy most things but some of my favorites are reading, acting, camping, cooking, music, writing, traveling, and being in the moment with my favorite people! You can read more about me here! I hope you stop by often!

    Yes, yes YES! I need to really take this to heart. I want to cook more but it seems so complicated. I want to work out but I get overwhelmed by all the options. (I still do exercise but I need to make the prospect less stressful, not moreso.) I need to streamline in all areas of my life. This includes my basement. 😉

    Thanks, Jenn, for taking this on. I know it’s got to be adding to YOUR stress, but it means a lot to me! <3

    Grilled or roasted veggies are my go-to dinner. I have been eating that for months, literally, every night. I just change up the seasonings/sauce/dressing to keep it fresh. KISS rules.
