Hello and Happy Friday!
My time in Vegas this week was fun and work-wise it went great, but I’m also happy to be back home in the Bay Area. Things are finally looking pretty good in my new place, and my next focus is getting decor on the walls!
This week I was thinking a lot about how healthy living is a journey, how it’s about everyday decisions we make to be good to ourselves on the inside and out. While we tend to beat ourselves up over any decisions we make that stray from being our healthiest selves, sometimes we forget to celebrate the positive moves we make – no matter how big or small they may be. It’s important to recognize and pat ourselves on the back for the efforts we put in to creating a healthy, happy life. This concept was on my mind because I was recently contacted by KLUTCHclub to participate in an initiative they have going on that promotes this very idea. The purpose of the campaign is to recognize anything health or fitness related that deserves a high-five, a KLUTCH moment as they call it. My KLUTCH moment of the week that I shared was this:
Once I started thinking more about it, I realized that I had several KLUTCH moments this week, even many in a day, including:
- Choosing apples instead of chips during lunch at my work show’s convention center
- Skipping dessert
- Taking the stairs instead of escalator
- Going to my hotel gym for a quick workout when I had a break in my schedule
- Bringing a protein bar with me in case hunger strikes without any healthy options around
- Making sure I got a decent amount of sleep every night
- Drinking water instead of soda
So now I ask you to share a KLUTCH moment of yours this week. What healthy decision did you make that deserves a high-five?
KLUTCHclub is a company that ships health and wellness boxes to members that contain a variety of health conscious products to try at a greatly discounted rate. I will be receiving one of their boxes for my participation in this initiative. More on that to come, but if you’re interested in finding out more about them check out the KLUTCHclub website.
I took a yoga class last night even though I was exhausted from my day!
Nice job! I know it’s hard when I’m tired to push myself to workout, but I never regret it afterwards… speaking of which, I’m about to get a pre-dinner workout in!
I like the idea of celebrating the small healthy choices we make instead of harping on the things we don’t do. For instance I didn’t have dessert while out to dinner tonight, but I also didn’t get to the gym. I’m going to focus on my good willpower tonight and forgive myself for not fitting in a workout!
Agreed! I think it’s important to remind ourselves that nobody is imperfect. We all days where we miss workouts or overindulge, but the important thing is to make as many healthy decisions as we can and forgive ourselves for any not so healthy moments/days/weeks.
