F.I.T. TIP
GROCERY SHOPPING 🛍
Shop the outside areas in your grocery store. Here you will have fresh fruits, veggies, fresh meats and fish. This strategy will keep you away from tempting processed foods. Remember: if you have to open a wrapper, many things have touched the food before you, including preservatives.
F.I.T. ARTICLE OF THE MONTH
Enjoy this month’s helpful article from Johnson Fitness and Wellness, discussing the surprising benefits of working out in the summer heat. "Working out in the summer heat leads to quick improvements in fitness. This process, known scientifically as heat adaptation, can be applied to any workout format. Turn up the intensity of your summer runs and bike rides or throw in hot yoga and strength training to maximize the benefits of soaring temperatures this summer."
DO YOU EVER HAVE THESE DAYS?
I do!
I call this having…..
“Bugs In Your Head!”
Self Doubt is not only bad for our minds but for our bodies as well, but we all do it. We live in a world of perfection. No, not really but, TV, magazines covers, and social media can all make us almost scream that we can’t have “all that” or be “all that”.
Well, let’s be real. Those things aren’t real. It is real makeup, or real filters etc. But let’s think about what is real, and that it’s YOU who deserves to hear that you are good and you are worth it. Believe me, I do this too.
For me there are days when I wonder, “Why are you wanting to help people or train people? You’re not good enough at what you love.” Or, “no one wants to hear your coaching and the why”, or, “you’re getting too old for anyone to want to hear your advice on training.”
And the absolute worst…..
“Am I a good mom?”
Then I ask myself, “What if my children said these things to me about themselves?” I hear my voice encouraging them, and explaining to always believe in yourself. That life is a much better experience when we love ourselves just for who we are, which is wonderful. We are ENOUGH, exactly like we are. Everyone has a gift and something to offer others.
What are your gifts? How do you use them? Do you ever get “Bugs In your Head”?
Tackle the ugly in your mind with the positive things in your life.
Please share your Bugs! How do you get rid of them?
I’ll be honest….
I always feel better after I exercise or accomplish something that’s been looming over my head.
F.I.T. TECH TIP
PIN THE SPEAKER IN ZOOM
By default, Zoom switches from one speaker to another depending on who is speaking. To keep your video from flipping around when people are talking, you can "pin" the class video. You also have the choice of viewing the "gallery" of participants, which can be really motivating, or viewing just the speaker.
One advantage of seeing the entire gallery is being able to double check your form, sort of like looking in the mirror! Check out this article on Zoom, and get your settings just the way you like them.

Here's a delicious and nutritious recipe for citrus shrimp and avocado salad from FoodieCrush.com. "This simple but totally flavorful shrimp salad makes the perfect meal-prep meal for lunch or dinner thanks to pan-seared citrus-flavored shrimp, creamy avocado, and the crunch of sliced almonds."
