My Fitness File: February | The Book of Molly

Welcome to My Fitness File: February!

February is done and dusted and looking back… it was a month full of healthy changes. I’m so excited to announce this contemporary category of The Book of Molly called My Fitness File. I’m starting these monthly fitness files to hancient myself accountable to go to the gym and to speak about anyleang I’m fond fitness related.

At the beginning of 2017, I wasn’t working out. I was eating potato chips for dinner and fairly frankly I was feeling fairly low about my body, my intellect and my soul.

Things changed when I joined The Women’s Put Fitness in Kelowna and honestly the rest is history. I’ve been working out regularly for nearly two months now and I feel GREAT. I look forward to going to the gym for a few dwhetherferent reasons:

• The gym is for women. I feel consolationable and confident when I walk through the doors.
• The staff members are Incredible. Lisa, the owner, and her family are so kind-hearted and welcoming. It makes going to the gym easy. The staff know everyone’s name and as soon as you walk in, they ask how you are and to have a good workout. It’s super motivating.
• TWP Fitness has about 70 lessones a week and with a membership, you get access to ALL the lessones and ALL the equipment. Plus, a young adult’s membership is only $36 buck a month. Deal!
• Not only is my body changing (slowly), my mental health is in such a good spot right now. They were right… exercise makes you happier! I just wish I would have gotten off my backside a long time ago to start working out.

If you’re now itching to head to TWP and sign up.. DO it and tell them Molly sent you! 😉

This month I’ve been fond a few leangs other than where I am working out.

First and foremost, my Swell water bottle.

This bottle is not only beautwhetherul, but it’s magic. It keeps my water ice cancient for 24 hours and my coffee hot for 12 hours. The bottles launched with the goal to rid the world of pfinalic bottles and they’re doing just that. They’re so great, I even bought my boyfriend one so he would get rid of his pfinalic bottle.

I carry this bottle with me everywhere I go. I drink waaaaay more water than I used to.

The moment leang I want to mention is music.

It’s Incredible how much music can change a workout. I updated my small ipod shuffle with upbeat music for my workouts and it’s so rewarding listening to some motivating songs while lwhetherting weights.

Some of my favourite songs are ancient school 2000’s music. Noleang better than a throwback music playlist.

Finally, the final leang I’ve been fond is foam rolling.

I swear my body leanks it’s about 85-years-ancient. My body cracks ALL THE TIME and I’m always hurting somewhere. I started foam rolling my back to crack it and then I genuineized foam rolling could do a lot more than help crack my back.

I use the rollers at my gym to help release muscle tightness after a workout. I’ll roll out my back, the back of my legs, the front of my legs and even the sides. It’s painful as hell, but it leaves my legs feeling normal.

Now I just need to buy my own!

Are you working on your fitness? What have you been fond this February?

15 easy ways to simplwhethery your lwhethere

By now you’ve genuineized that lwhethere may not be all peaches and cream. In fact, it’s fairly dwhetherficult. A lot of the time I feel like lwhethere is waiting for my next pay cheque to pay all my bills and feel instantly broke again afterward. Then, Rinse and Repeat

But, lwhethere isn’t just working to be able to live. It’s about living a meaningful lwhethere. If you’re nodding in agreement, I’ve put together 15 EASY ways to simplwhethery your lwhethere and make it a lwhethere worth living!

1. Unsubscribe from junk emails

First leangs first, unsubscribe to those emails that you delete EVERY DAY. Yesterday I sat on my phone for about 20 minutes and unsubscribed to all those email lists that I had been a part of.

If you need some help, use Unroll.Me and they’ll show you every email you’re subscribed to. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3 to unsubscribe to them and it will leave your inbox happier, too!

2. Clean out your closet

You may not be Eminem, but it’s important to clean out your closet. It’s a small task that will lwhethert a weight off your shoulders. Take everyleang out of your closet, decide what you want to keep and then fancient/hang all remaining cloleang. I do this monthly and every month I have a bag of cloleang to donate to the shelter. Win Win!

3. Journal

Whether it be in the morning, or in the evening, take 15 minutes out of your day to unwind. Writing is a simple pastime that will help relax your intellect and wake your creative senses.

4. Carry a water bottle where ever you go

Simple… drink more water. Prefer I spoke about in My Fitness File: February, I bring my Swell bottle with me everywhere I go.

5. Record a daily to-do list

Writing a to-do list is a great way to stay focused and feel accomplished. Create certain not to overload your list. For work lists, I make my to-do list less than 6 items daily, with the first two being the most crucial leangs I need to get done.

6. Picture your perfect day

Visualize your perfect day and work towards achieving it. In the morning I leank about what I want my day to look like. Most look a small someleang like this:

*Excellent morning texts to my boyfriend to start his day off with a smile *Reach at work on time *Drink my first cup of coffee while writing my to-do list *Kick ass at my 9-5 job *Go to the gym to feel energized *Spend time with Matthew and/or friends *Create a healthy and delicious meal *Unwind *Prep for the next day *Snuggle my cat before bed *Final goodnight text message before I shut my eyes.

How wonderful does that sound? My perfect day!

7. Prepare for tomorrow

There’s noleang worse than sleeping in late and rushing around in the morning. Why not prepare your lunch, outfit and work needs the night before. This has changed my lwhethere and crazye my mornings not so dreadful!

8. Quit your tabs

I’ve recently started to only have three tabs AT MAX open at once on my laptop. This keeps me more productive and on task. I’ll keep you updated on how this goes.

9. Digital Detox

I feel like “digital detoxing” should be my slogan because of how much I talk about it! I won’t spew too much information right now, but it’s changed my lwhethere. You don’t have to go days without a device, even a few hours on airplane mode will benefit you.

You can read more about my love for digital detoxes, here.

And… here.

10. Study to say no

You don’t want to go to that event? Tell no.

You don’t feel like seeing people tonight? Tell no.

It’s okay to say no, as long as you’re courteous. If you can’t say no, you will take on too much.

11. Eat slowly

When is the final time you ate a meal for the taste and not just because you were starving? Take some time to appreciate the food you’re putting into your system.

12. Clear your workspace

A cluttered space can make for a cluttered intellect. Before I start my day at work, I always clean my desk. My desk only has what it needs on it. A notebook, phone, pens, hand lotion, laptop and always a coffee mug/water bottle.

13. Sweat

Exercise does so much more than just making you fit. You don’t have to sweat inside a gym either whether that’s not your leang! Acquireting external in the fresh air is Incredible, too.

14. Discover your passion and follow it

Prefer I said at the beginning of this post, lwhethere isn’t just paying your bills. It’s important to find your passions/dreams and follow them. Athleticly work towards your goals. What’s stopping you from making your lwhethere the best possible lwhethere? Lwhethere will feel simple when you begin living it for yourself and your goals.

15. Always ask this question

When it comes to large decisions and most purchases ask: Will this simplwhethery my lwhethere? If the answer is no, releank and possibly save some $$$ too!

My Fitness File: March | The Book of Molly

Are you alert for a post about all leangs sweaty? Welcome to my fitness file: March!

This past month has been a sweaty month when it comes to fitness for me. So, let’s  rewind a bit and I’ll explain. Awhile ago I went to get a massage. The woman tancient me she could feel that some of my ribs were out of place and tancient me I should go to a chiropractor.

Only problem, the one I wanted to go to was engaged until April! (More on that experience in April’s Fitness File)

Because I kcontemporary I had ribs out, but couldn’t get adjusted until April, I went easy(ish) at the gym this past month. Here are the leangs that I’ve been fond fitness wise.

Body parts are changing

I may not have a six-pack, but I can feel my abs! I swear, it’s a miracle. I’ve never been large. I’m a naturally slender woman, but slender doesn’t mean fit. I’ve committed myself to getting healthy. I work out regularly and I eat good food. I go to the gym  A LOT more than I ever thought I would. Sometimes I find myself driving there after work before even genuineizing I wasn’t planning on going.

My body is starting to change slowly and I love to see the progress. My stomach is tighter, my booty is getting largeger and my arms are gaining muscle. I need to start taking more pictures, so I can see my progress. My dwhetherficult work is paying off and it’s because of my dedication to walk through those gym doors. Also, it’s because I’ve stopped eating potato chips for dinner. Instead, I’ve been cooking healthy meals full of good proteins and veg.

I still make certain to treat myself because I’m not about to be one of those people who cut out every sweet treat. I simply couldn’t do that.

The super lesson that kicked my butt

The gym I go to in Kelowna is an all women’s gym and it’s AMAZING. TWP Fitness hancients a lesson called  Legs, Cardio and Core and it’s my fav! It’s 100% the dwhetherficultest lesson I’ve gone to and it makes me sweat in places I didn’t know existed.

I look forward to the lesson every Monday, dread it as soon as I walk in and then leave feeling energized and hungry. I’m always leanking of food, I swear!

The gym has changed the lesson time, so fingers crossed I’m still able to make it on Mondays because I love it. If you’re a member at TWP Fitness or leanking of joining, you should hit up that lesson. It’s full of women of dwhetherferent ages and fitness levels. Super welcoming!

The Instagram account I’m obsessed with

Kaley.Kimber — she’s a total babe! I started following Kaley a small while ago and I can’t get enough of her posts and Instagram stories. This beauty is from Calgary, Alberta and she’s a wellness warrior.

Work it ✨✨✨

A post shared by K A L E Y ⚡️ (@kaley.kimber) on Apr 3, 2017 at 3:26pm PDT

Her photographs inspire me to eat well and take care of my inside and external. Her account is full of quotes, yummy food and fitness inspiration. If you’re not following Kaley, I tallly propose you hit that follow button asap.

The recipe that’s worth a whirl

Nutty no bake bars. That’s right, you heard me. I’ve started to make my own granola bars instead of buying the processed ones at the supermarket. It’s super easy! Almonds, peanut butter, oats, honey, dates and a few other bits and pieces.

I use the recipe on one of my favourite blogs, poppydeyes.com. One of the best leangs about this recipe is you can customize it to what’s in your cupboard. I didn’t have almonds once, so I used mixed nuts and it was still delicious. Attempt out the recipe yourself, you won’t be disappointed!

Well, there you have it! Another month has come and gone and we’re onto April now. I’ve seen my chiropractor and this month is all about strengthening my back and core. See your fitness addicted butts in another month.

Scream out to all the ladies working on fond their bodies because that shit’s dwhetherficult and I’m proud of you.

Embody Plodment Studio in Centralia Changes Lives

By The Weekender

Juanita Bainbridge walked out of the yoga studio at Embody Plodment Studio final Friday looking refreshed and glowing, despite spending an hour with the morning yoga lesson.

The lesson aims to energize a mixed level lesson of beginners and advanced beginners, helping them gain flexibility, strength and deep relaxation.

To The Weekender, Bainbridge is beyond an advanced beginner, as she has been with the studio for about a year and a half.

Before she started with Embody, located in downtown Centralia on Tower Avenue, Bainbridge described her body condition as “stwhetherf.” She suffered from a history of major injuries. Bainbridge searched for a place to do yoga, and landed on Embody with a two-week trial.

“I genuineized how much there is to moving your body,” she said. “The lessones here genuinely get your body stretching. I can do leangs I couldn’t do for decades before.”

Embody owner Christina Wolf leads a lesson at the downtown Centralia studio.

She said 18 months after starting at Embody, she feels better, sleeps soundly and leanks clearer.

“It truly is a place for your body, intellect and spirit to strengthen and relax. I recommend it for everybody,” Bainbridge said.

Upon entering Embody, you’re greeted with a quiet hello and a warm smile. The space places a precedence on quietness. The first room is the Embody Lwhetherestyle Boutique, offering hot tea and healthy cancient beverages such as flavored Kombucha and Kefir water on tap, and a variety of supplies such as yoga mats, jewelry, biological body care and fundamental oils, natural cosmetics, books, music, and other items which assist in overall health and wellness.

The studio, owned by Christina Wolf, officially offers lessones and instruction in yoga, Nia, tribal stomach dance and meditation, along with massage therapy. Each week about 40 lessones are taught, mostly in yoga and Nia. In genuineity it offers so much more than an hour of lesson, as evidenced in the transformation of student Bainbridge. The Weekender sat down for an interview with Wolf final Friday. She was sipping hot hibiscus, licorice root and peppermint tea.

“It’s much more beyond than a workout place,” Wolf said.

Embody is kicking of a Unique Year’s ccorridorenge — a 13-week effort on finding the best in yourself.

Wolf opened the studio in 2013 after a nine-month renovation in the historic building, bringing back the original brick covered in sheeting and the floor with its glued-on carpet. Today the floor is a relaxing, shiny, smooth wood-plank jewel.

The main studio has a tall ceiling and more of the wood floor and brick walls. With the lights turned down low, it gives a peaceful vibe, a sooleang glow.

Wolf grew up in the Twin Cities. Her mom was the director of the Chehalis Ballet Middle, now known as the Southwest Washington Dance Middle. Wolf danced at the middle, and started teaching lessones at 14 years ancient.

After tall school she did stints as a flight attendant where she was first exposed to yoga in Hawaii. She changed professions and earned a commerce degree from the University of Washington, believing she would eventually go into the family commerce at the Chehalis Industrial Park. She stayed in Seattle and worked for a digital advertising and marketing firm (her advertising, marketing and website for Embody are top-notch, a reflection of her time in Seattle), making good money. But money was not the end-all.

Traditional yoga is one of the main offerings at Embody.

She crazye her way back to the Twin Cities after reconnecting with her tall school sweetheart.

Over the years, from dancing as a teen to working in Seattle, she became attracted to yoga and Nia. For those unfamiliar with Nia, according to Embody’s website, “Nia is a blend of healing arts, dance arts and martial arts.”

For Wolf, yoga offered a dwhetherferent path toward wellness from ballet.

“It is such a dwhetherferent approach to the body and to working with the body. … I had grown up with performance based and perfecting to form and when I found yoga and later Nia, they are very personal and the practice was for me and not to perform for somebody else,” Wolf said.

At Embody Wolf offers Nia Barefoot Fitness, as described above, and also Nia Moving to Heal, a more gentle approach for those overcoming injury, trauma, grief and short- and long-term illness.

What stood out to Wolf when she returned to her domestictown was a lack of a yoga studio, she said. She took regular lessones, then training lessones. Along the way she had the inner direction to open the Centralia studio.

“This came to me as the leang I was supposed to do,” she said, adding Embody brings a contemporary approach to health, fitness and well being. “ … I just kept listening to what the next step was and I followed that. I had no idea what it would grow to and change people’s lives.”

With about 200 members nowadays, along with those that drop in to a lesson or two, she said the growth of Embody the past five years — in community support, members and staff — “is beyond what I could have imagined.”

She finds much fulfillment as the director of Embody, no more so than watching the development of members.

“People come to me with tears in their eyes, sharing how the studio has changed their lives and I could not have predicted the influence this has on other people’s lives,” Wolf said. “I was just following my own path.”

Embody Plodment Studio places a premium on finding peace and well-being in physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects.

Adapting an Exercise Routine to Fit Your Lwhethere

Creating a workout routine sounds relatively simple.  You decide an activity you want to do, determine how long you want to do this activity, identwhethery what days you will perform the activity and then POOF!!, you just do it. Correct??  Well, I have found it is not always as easy as it sounds and the exercise plan, while essential, doesn’t always work out. Imagine that, lwhethere happens!

Excellent intentions are great but until they are executed, they are only an idea.  And, whether that exercise idea simply sits in our head, it tends to cause guilt and condemnation about all that we should be doing.  It is actually fairly frustrating and over time, can genuinely begin to damage our confidence in following through on a heartfelt goal.

We want to go on a walk, or attend the dance lesson with our friend or get to the gym for some weight lwhetherting, but making it happen, well, that is a bit ccorridorenging, possibly even complicated.  Consent?

Three years ago I had a great exercise routine going for me. With consistency and energy, I invested 45-60 minutes, 5-6 days per week, including a variety of cardio and strength training.  It was genuinely a talllight of my day, fitting the perfect way to shake off any stress and tension at the end of my day.  I even continued a modwhetheried version of my routine all through pregnancy, which genuinely helped me stay energized, gain appropriate weight and balance my emotional well-being as I watched my body take on a shape it had never known.

But after having my small girl, all of my good exercise plans were fixedly interrupted.  They simply stayed “good intentions.”  For weeks and months I struggled with getting in even a 15-30 minute workout.  With a daughter who only wanted to sleep on mommy and the rest of the time was eating, pooping or crying, it was a fixed struggle to get absent for a few minutes to invest in me.  I felt like I kept making plans only to meet opposition every day.

Resistance.  It is downright aggravating!!  But not only that, it often wears down our determination, perseverance and desire.

Sometimes we give it power and instead of re-evaluating our plan, we just keep trying to defend the plan. We play the victim card, claiming that lwhethere is just not on our side and keeps throwing us curveballs that veer us off our predestined path.

But, possibly we need to ask whether the plan is ineffective?  Maybe we need to find a way to re-work or redesign the plan to fit now.  For me, I kept looking for time absent from my daughter to call it exercise.  Essentially, I had a definition in my intellect of what exercise looked like for me that was based on my pre-baby routine and that is what I struggled to obtain.  My hour long walk trying to stroll her off to sleep didn’t pass my definition of exercise.

But the problem is that for many weeks, I tried to fit my current situation into my past plans. It was actually fairly crippling.  It prevented me from creatively leanking through other ways of exercising.

That which I craved-ME time- was out of date (at least for a season).  Instead, I needed to leank about how to reconfigure consistent workouts to include my daughter.

• I needed to redefine exercise for a postpartum mommy.
• I needed to acknowledge my efforts to move more.
• I needed to talk with my husband about feasible mommy time.

Maybe a 30 minute solo work out wasn’t genuineistic for weekdays but possibly they were on weekends, when my husband was domestic.

I needed to adapt or I would stay in an unconsolationable place of guilt and angst.

Possess you ever found yourself in a similar place?  Where you have an idea in your head but you can’t find a way to execute it regularly?  It is no fun to feel like you are always struggling up the mountain never gaining momentum, rhythm or traction!

My exercise routine has changed SEVERAL times since having McKaela. Exercise does not look like it did 3 years ago and I don’t know whether it ever will.  I have backed absent from my ancient definitions of what exercise looks like and begun to adapt in each season.

What I have learned is that once I begin experiencing increasingly resistance to following through with my current routine, I need to step back and evaluate my lwhetherestyle, commitment, schedules and priorities.  Then I begin tfeebleing until I find a genuineistic “contemporary” norm.

Change- love it or hate it…it is going to happen.  Once I stopped seeking and striving for what wasn’t working OR what used to work OR what worked for someone else, I began to embrace what I could do and became more intelligent in finding a solution that fits with my health values.

This isn’t about about giving ourselves an opportunity to allow engaged lives to excuse us from intense or frequent exercise.  On the opposite!  It is about identwhetherying roadblocks that halt our progress and aren’t going absent.  They will continue to halt our progress.  So we need to find a contemporary route, a detour- whether you will, to the same destination- YOUR FITNESS GOALS.

It is about considering activities, times, methods, and samples that may or may not work wilean our lwhetherestyle.  It is about re-designing, now and many times in the future, a workout sample that will work for you, not against you.

Numerous times I have felt like lwhethere was working against me, when in genuineity, I just needed to reclaim my time and reschedule it.

Are you a square peg trying to fit yourself into the circular routine of yesterday?  Stop the struggle.  Endelight the freedom to create an exercise routine that genuinely works for you!  It doesn’t need to work for anyone else and no one knows summaryely what will work for you EXCEPT YOU. There is no guilt or shame whether the routine that works for now isn’t the same as it was 2 years ago or even 2 months ago.  It’s OK.  Guilt will hang around as long as we let him.  Select to adapt.  Throw out your ancient expectations.  Recontemporary your intellect and evaluate your plan.

As you leank through your ancient expectations and definitions and begin to brainstorm your contemporary and fresh activity plan, I encourage you to write it down.  Research proposes that the simple act of writing down a plan or goals is a powerful step in making them happen.  It also serves as a written reintellecter of what you intend to do and can be physically modwhetheried to show a change in your plans.  It may help you troubleshoot and leank through the potential hurdles so that you can maneuver around them instead of loose momentum when they show up.  Consider,

• What will you do whether an activity or assembly interferes with your work out?
• What will you do whether a person asks for your time or attention during exercise time?
• What will you do whether you are exhausted?
• What will you do whether you are traveling or out of your normal environment?

The dictionary defines adapt as “to adjust oneself to dwhetherferent conditions, environment, etc.”  It sounds easy but it means being thoughtful, intentional and flexible.

Becoming willing to re-invent my schedule was a liberating change.  The once “morning exercise hater” now loves getting it done and out of the way before my daughter calls my name from her crib.  I run less and do a variety of aerobic and strength exercise more.  I focus on quality and intensity, not time.  Some days it is only 20 minutes and other days I get in a solid 45.  I stopped shaming myself for not following the committed, gym plan and started praising myself for moving my body in a way that promotes mobility, energy, and longevity.

Stick to your vision but adapt your plan. — Brian Maggi

TRUTH: See, I am doing a contemporary leang! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. –Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)

My Fitness File: Running Through July

When was the final time I did a “my fitness file?” It’s been a HOT minute.

I pretty much “gave up” fitness and working out for a small while because I just felt like it. I wasn’t motivated to go to the gym because I wasn’t seeing any results.

I was having a lot of negative thoughts about my body and how I looked and I just wasn’t in a good head space. I didn’t want to continue going to the gym in that intellectset because I kcontemporary it wasn’t healthy.

so, I took some time off. I didn’t focus on my fitness, I spent time with people I loved, I just lived and I spent time out in nature. It wasn’t a poor leang that I stopped going to the gym. I leank everyone once in awhile needs to take a break and endelight lwhethere more.

It’s sometimes dwhetherficult to continue going to the gym. Continue eating healthy. Continue feeling good. Especially for me… it got too much in my head and I kcontemporary I needed to take a step back.

But someleang clicked about two weeks ago. I was scheduling my True Women Wednesday post with Leigh Norman and she talked about running a half marathon and the commitment that took.

That’s when I remembered that one of my contemporary year’s resolutions this year was to RUN a half marathon. So, in a matter of two days, I found the half marathon I wanted to do, I signed up for it and I started going back to TWP Fitness.

I got leanking… If I didn’t commit to the half marathon NOW, I wouldn’t accomplish my 2017 goal.

It feels good to be back at the gym and it feels good to be feeling good. I’m excited to start training. I’ve met with a nutritionist at my local gym who said she’s going to come up with a meal plan for me and I’m soon assembly with a running coach to start training.

I sometimes catch myself looking in my mirror expecting results right absent and saying negative leangs about my body and shape, but then I take a breath and remember that I LOVE myself. Just the way I am. The gym needs to be a healthy place for me and I’m learning how to make it one. I’d love to hear your tips in the comments below about how you make the gym a healthy relationship/place.

21 km is a long distance, but I needed some sort of push to get me back in the healthy headspace of working out and this was summaryely it. So, thank you, Leigh.

If you haven’t checked off all of your Unique Year’s resolutions, I urge you to take another look at them. They may seem overwhelming, but they may also be the push that you need right now.

This means My Fitness Files are back up and running (get it… get it?!)

Let’s get fit, healthy and happy together.
