Quarantine 15 is the new freshman 15

3t39ln

Hi friends, it is Epic Shannon here!  I went from walking 8,000 – 10,000 steps a day at work and teaching at least 4 spin classes a week to sitting on my couch and baking cookies.  Week one of quarantine was an epic fail on the diet and exercise front for me.  So, I sat down and wrote a few strategies for myself to help me keep on track during this time.  I thought I would share them with you in hopes that they might help you or inspire you to create your own.

1) Boredom Hunger – This is a big one for me.  I eat when I am bored and right now, I am bored a lot!  I decided that the best way for me to curb my boredom hunger is to stick to a schedule.  When I work, I have breakfast and lunch at close to the same time and do just fine without snacking inbetween.  So, I am trying to stick to that schedule during this time off.  Scheduling in general is great for me, but I know it doesn’t work for everyone.  So if that’s not your jam, then read on!

2) Thirst – A lot of times our mind can confuse hunger and thirst.  I know when I am at a desk with my trusty Hydroflask, I drink way more water then when I am hanging around the house.  The next time you are ready for a snack, try drinking a big glass of water, and after that if you are still hungry, go for that snack.

3) Healthy Options – You have decided that you are hungry after that big glass of water and now you reach for…what? Obviously, we all know that carrots are better than chips, but here are a few healthy snack that you might not think about.

  1. Toasted Chickpeas – https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Roasted-Chickpeas-2528816
  2. All Natural Peanut Butter (2T) and an apple
  3. Kale Chips – https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Kale-chips-358074

4) Portion Control – Instead of sitting down with a bag of chips or even unsalted almonds, try pouring yourself a portion in a bowl.  Use the suggested portion size in the nutrition information. This will end that mindless eating that is an easy trap to fall into with your favorite treat.

Let me know if you have any healthy go-to snack options or strategies that you are using to keep on track.

Until next time,

Shannon

Our Epic Tri was a BLAST

VO6OqI3vR4iSUVRnTgZbfg.jpg
We had a great turnout for our first ever Epic Ryde SloHi Tri.
We cycled, we burned and we ran around Sloans Lake. Everyone did great and finished with a smile on their face. Afterwards, Epic members celebrated their hard work over drinks and snacks.
If you missed this event, don’t worry, we plan to make this an annual challenge at our SloHi location.
