Take a moment this week to decide what your word for the year is and all the aspects of that word. What it is defined as, what it means to you, and how you plan to use it, improve it, or implement it into your life this year.

This is Not a Dress Rehearsal, This is Life #036 - Featuring Samm Hewes Cramer

Luxury of Self Care

10/09/20 • 64 min

As a woman in theatre body image, health & fitness can be a pressing topic, especially as a dancer, Today’s guest, Samm Hewes Cramer has been dancing since she could walk! Dance is where her active lifestyle and love for moving began. As a dancer her transition into the fitness industry was seamless and continues to be the best way she know how to express herself.

We get one body; take great care of it and love it through all its seasons. There’s a mindset, food will make me fat, but the reality is what are you eating? If you are eating whole foods, it’s hard to reach 2300 calories a day. We need to retrain our brains and educate ourselves on the food that gives us the best energy.

Nutrition is the biggest part of any fitness journey. We have to study in order to get better. We may say, “I deserve this treat because...”, but if we wouldn’t give our kid this sugar filled treat, then why would we consume it ourselves? It may taste really good, but what’s the long term effect? When am I going to crash from it, be bloated from it, be tired at my desk?

Samm leaves us with tips on how to train our mindset from way’s to have something sweet but have energy all day long, to tricks when dinning out. The food fuel is being mindful of what your eating, when your eating it and where it’s coming from. And ask yourself, “how hungry am I?” Don’t mistake hunger for dehydration, drink yo water!

We conclude with the beauty vs. the negativity of social media, discussing how conversation are more beneficial than noise. We are in charge of our reactions, where will you choose to invest your emotions? If you want it, and you're willing to work hard at it, it’s gonna happen.
