Long weekends, or often weekends in general can be a time when our healthy eating and fitness routine can get derailed.  You may feel like you are finally making some progress at establishing a fitness routine, eating healthy, losing some weight….then a bbq or a weekend away happens and it all breaks down or even snowballs and you are left telling yourself that you will start over again on Monday.

Here are a few things to keep in mind this long weekend or in the weekends to come that may help you to enjoy yourself while also maintaining your healthy lifestyle, willpower not required.

We all know by now that vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. They’re high in fiber and low in calories. They are full of vitamins and minerals and reduce our risk of chronic illness, heart disease and stroke.

However, knowing all of this doesn't necessarily make it easier to get the recommended 3 or 4 servings every day. Even if you enjoy vegetables it can be tough….and it’s almost impossible if you don’t!

That’s why today’s episode is all about ways to sneak extra veggies into your regular meals without the need to substitute cauliflower for everything! Plus for those picky eaters, I’ve got some tips on how to hide a few servings of veggies here and there without even noticing.

Roadblocks are here to say and we will continue to run into them as long as we continue to learn and grow.

That’s why so many of my podcast episodes talk about roadblocks. We have to get past them on the way to success. Just like there is not one best diet for everyone, there is not one best way to manage your emotions and get through tough times.

Today’s tip is another in my series of ways to navigate the roadblocks in life.

It’s to remember the 3 r’s. If you are feeling stuck, one way to pull yourself out of your funk is to follow the 3 r’s.........
