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

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

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
Thank you for the sweet comment. My stats are lower than normal so it means a lot that someone is enjoying this series! xoxo
I am, big time! xoxo
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.
Muah! 😉
Thank you for all the kind comments & mototaviin! I’m trying my hardest to stay active! I love Wii Mommies! I am going to confess something: TODAY I am going to eat McDonalds Lol.
