BYE BYE REFINED, What's your Motivation?

I am sure I am not the only one that is
 MOTIVATED BY RESULTS

In order to see results you need to take all pre-cautions
to factors that are limiting you from achieving these results

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUGAR IS BAD, in a lot of
 different areas of one's life:




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Motto To Live By:
** IF YOU DONT HAVE IT
YOU WONT EAT IT **

In this case,  I did a little cabinet clean sweep and gathered 
all of my CHOCOLATEY DELICIOUS DESSERTS that I find myself
snacking on at night.

BYE BYE REFINED!!
 in the garbage you go
 ( or in my roommates cabinet if they claim within 24 hours! )


Pictured Demons: 
French Toast Cereal
Fudge
Chocolate Bar
Peanut Butter Chocolate Fannie May
Girl Scout Cookies (..very hard to part)
Teddy Grahams
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MY MOTIVATORS
ACHIEVEMENT, GROWTH, POWER, and INCENTIVE

Achievement: Improving skills and proving competency to others. 
--> These people are motivated by personal accomplishment,
 recognition from others, and the search for positive feed back

Growth: Desire for personal growth and change, using workout time as a break to focus on yourself and improving your well-being
--> These people are motivated to change their lifestyle, feel better about
 themselves, and discover a new identity. 

Power:  Desire to determine and create your ideal outcome that you want to achieve and take control of  your life. 
                 --> These people set realistic and attainable weekly and/or monthly goals.
 They also vary their workouts and do what they WANT to do in order to accomplish the set goal. 

Incentive: This motivation involves REWARDS
--> These people are motivated by the rewards obtained once the goals
have been met. They enjoy the feeling of tackling their fitness goals and earning
that CHEAT MEAL on saturday ; )

KAYLA's SALAD SECRETS

SALADS ARE HEALTHIER
 THAN SANDWICHES right?…WRONG!

America loves to offer HUGE portion sizes,
fat-loaded dressings, and false-advertised "healthy" add-ons
So therefore, salads are not ALWAYS your healthiest option


First, let me show you my dinner from last night,
what the macros are, and what I did differently

My imitation Taco Salad

MACROS
153Calories, 20g Carbs, 6g Fat, 19g Protein

INGREDIENTS
Dole Lettuce Leafs
1.5oz Peppers
60g Black Beans
1/4c Salsa
1 light mozz String Cheese Stick
1tbsp Dannon Plain Greek Yogurt
2 Simply Pinto Bean Beanito Tortilla Chips

WHAT DID I DO?

SALSA instead of DRESSING
LIGHT CHEESE STICK instead of SHREDDED CHEESE
PLAIN YOGURT instead of SOUR CREAM

HOW DID I DO IT!?
SALSA: Can of ROTEL Diced Tomato W/ Green Chiles
CHEESE STICK: Used food processor to make shredded cheese

WHY DID I DO IT (salsa)!?

Lets do a little SALSA COMPARISON

ROTEL Tomatoes with Green Chilis


VS.

PACE Chunk Salsa

OKAY SO.. Rotel serving size is 1/2C and Pace serving size is 2tbsp

Being that there are 8tbsp in 1/2C.. we need to times PACE 
nutrition label by 4. 

WHICH BRINGS US TO

PACE (1/2c Serving)
40Calories
0gFat
 8gCarbs
8gSugar
920mg Sodium

ROTEL (1/2c Serving)
20Calories
 0gFat
 4gCarbs
3gSugar
529mg Sodium

ROTEL HAS 1/2 the calories, 1/2 the carbs, 
1/3 the sugar, and about 400mg less Sodium

WE'LL DISCUSS THE REPLACEMENT OF
DRESSING WITH SALSA AT THE END OF THIS POST


WHY DID I DO IT (cheese) !?
Cheese sticks are easy to use in anything.
- Cut it up for eggs
- shred it for a salad
-take it along with you as a snack!  

i LOVE putting it in the food processor to make a shredded cheese when 
I'm having tacos, salad, or making a pizza (or pizza crust)

Cheese sticks allow the perfect portion size and make it
easy to NOT over do the dairy!


WHY DID I DO IT (yogurt) ?!


 SOUR CREAM (Daisy LITE sour cream) 30g

Dannon Greek nonfat Plain Yogurt (150g) 


OKAY SO, dannon yogurt is 5x the serving size so we'll
have to divide the nutrition label by 5!

DANNON HAS (per 2tbsp/30g):
16CALORIES, 0gFAT, 1.2gCARBS
1.2gSUGAR, 10mgSODIUM, and 3gPROTEIN

DAISY HAS (per 2tbsp/30g):
40CALORIES, 2.5gFAT, 2gCARBS
2gSUGAR, 25mgSODIUM, and 2gPROTEIN

So in that case, DANNON is winning on ALL levels.
The only thing you need to do is
STOP
the mind games and the whole "but its yogurt, wahhh"
no, it tastes EXACTLY the same, especially GREEK yogurt
because it still has the thick consistency


DONT KNOCK IT, TILL YOUVE TRIED IT!


SALAD 
& SALAD DRESSING 
FACTS

KENS RANCH
