Is Yo-Yo Dieting Ruining Your Life?
It all begins with an idea.
Yo-yo dieting – it’s the worst, am I right? You lose a few pounds, feel great about yourself, and then BAM – you gain them all back again. It’s frustrating, infuriating, and downright demoralizing. But don’t worry – you’re not alone. Thousands of people are dealing with the same issue every day.
So what can we do to break this frustrating cycle once and for all? Here are a few tips to help get you started:
1) Don’t Diet! Seriously, diets don’t work. They might help you lose weight in the short term, but as soon as you go off of them the weight will come back (plus some). So instead of dieting, focus on making healthy lifestyle changes that you can stick to long term.
2) Find a Support Network: Having someone to support you through your journey is crucial. Whether it’s friends, family members or an online support group, find people who will encourage you and keep you accountable.
3) Set Realistic Goals: Losing 10 pounds in two weeks is unrealistic and likely to lead to frustration. Aim for goals that are attainable and sustainable – like losing one pound per week, for example. This way you won’t feel so discouraged when progress is slower than expected.
4) Be Patient: Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither will your new body be! Remember that lasting results take time so be patient and stay focused on your goals.

How to Organize Your Week
It all begins with an idea.
I know that many of you are frantically trying to get organized for the week. Here are a few tips that can help make the process a little bit easier.
1) Make a list: This is probably the most important thing you can do in order to stay organized. When you have a list of what you need to do, it is easy to see what still needs to be done and what can be crossed off your list.
2) Set priorities: Some tasks are more important than others, so it is important to set priorities and focus on the most important things first.
3) Delegate assignments: If you have a lot of things to do, don't try to do them all yourself! Delegate some tasks to other people and let them help out.
4) Use time management tools: There are many different time management tools available online. These tools can help you track how much time you spend on each task and plan your day accordingly.
5) Take breaks: It's very important not to overload yourself with work! Make sure to take breaks throughout the day so that you can relax and rejuvenate yourself.
6) Stay positive!: The last tip I have for staying organized is to stay positive! Positivity breeds productivity, so if you keep your mind focused on what needs to be done, you'll be able to get things done much faster.

10 Foods to Reduce Bloat by the New Year
It all begins with an idea.
It's the most wonderful time of the year!!
Not that it wasn't already a magical time, but now we have even more reason to celebrate: the New Year!
And with this new year comes a whole new set of resolutions—and it's pretty likely that one of them is going to be "eat healthier." But how do you know what foods will help you achieve your wellness goals without feeling like you're eating cardboard every meal?
Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are our top 10 foods for reducing bloat, whether you're looking for something to help manage your weight or just want to eat less and feel more energized throughout your day:
1. Water: This one is pretty obvious, but we're starting with it because it's so important. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated and flush out those toxins from your body.
2. Beans: Beans are great because they're rich in fiber, which helps flush out all those unwanted toxins from your system so there's less of them hanging around causing you discomfort! Try adding them into soups or making a bean salad with some veggies and herbs for a delicious lunch!
3. Pineapple: This tropical fruit is loaded with bromelain, an enzyme that helps digest protein and fights inflammation in your body. It also contains vitamin C, which has been shown to help regulate bowel movements and relieve bloating.
4. Avocado: This healthy fat is high in fiber and potassium, which helps prevent water retention by balancing out the sodium in your system.
5. Asparagus: This vegetable has been shown to help boost metabolism and increase feelings of fullness after eating a meal.
6. Oatmeal: Oats contain soluble fiber that can help lower cholesterol levels while helping you feel fuller longer — making them a great food choice for weight loss.
7. Olive oil: This fat has been shown to help reduce belly fat, which is linked to heart disease and diabetes risk.
8. Spinach: Popeye wasn’t wrong — spinach is high in vitamin C and iron, both of which are good for your immune system and help fight inflammation in the body.
9. Salmon: This lean fish is high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and lower cholesterol.
10. Quinoa: Considered a superfood due to its high amount of fiber and protein, quinoa is also low in fat and carbs — making it an excellent choice for weight loss.
