I LOVE my mid morning snack, so NUMMY, 2 omega 3 eggs and steel cut oats w a dab of raw honey and cinnamon, all prepared on my prep day and ready to roll....
This is SOOO me! If I don't eat throughout the day, and take care of myself..I am VERY affected by it! I get grouchy, disoriented, I can't think. Not everyone is like this, my hubby can go for hours, but regardless of your "hungry disposition" remember it's good to feed your body healthy nutrients throughout the day and keep your blood sugars level! The biggest mistake people make is not take the time to have a plan--- so eating throughout the day even healthy things becomes grazing and snacking on too much of a good thing! I am loving the 21 day fix helping hold me accountable on this!
As a busy mom this happens to me all the time! I usually keep almonds in my purse as an emergency, and still do.... BUT I am feeling amazing doing it this way! I am filled with energy and so alert!
I am also thankful my hubby is taking the time to eat several meals throughout the day----even though he doesn't feel it as much as I do his health has improved because of it and he does notice a difference! When I met him he did not eat breakfast and had larger portions for dinner.... just by eating a healthy breakfast and watching his portions more at dinner he has never been the same size and that was 12 years ago he started those changes! (the little body for lifer in me couldn't watch him do that to himself) Yes he's fluctuated a bit with holidays etc but overall just that was a 25 pound permanent change! Do NOT starve yourself!
GOOD MORNING!
When is the best time to workout? Anytime! However I have really found that if I do not get it done in the morning way too many things can get in my way! With our busy schedules and demands on our time it is THE most amazing feeling to say, wow--- that's done and I don't have to worry about it! It really helps the procrastinator in you realize the power of positive choices. You feel empowered all Day!
Today I was fighting the Holiday Blues.... feeling icky after letting some treats in over the past week and a half. I woke up, determined to feel better! However as much as I was excited to workout the voices in my head kept feeding me every excuse in the book. Maybe I'll just go to the gym and do Cardio, maybe I'll this, maybe I"ll that, My knees hurt, blah blah blah. Once I pushed play I was STILL saying these things during my warm up. But Guess What? Once 39 minutes was 36 I was like.. well hey, if you save this until later you have 3 more minutes to do again! I continued without looking back, did my best, journaled my workouts and Checked OFF my box! Today was my first workout of Lean 2 in Chalene Extreme and it was hard! But awesome! The fact that it was back and shoulders makes me excited... to see those results! Who doesn't want to have amazing back and shoulders? Posture? Hold those shoulders High!
If you are not a morning person It's OK! Try it for a few days! Make a routine, and after 3 to 4 days it will get easier! A tip that I do each morning is drink my lemon water and green tea before my workout! It's so good for you and you will notice a change in your body the first day!
This is my morning routine and really helps with getting me up and ready to work out -done before sun! Sipping my green tea is also a great time for My quiet time or personal development, then I'm ready to go! I use the stove for my water because I don't use microwaves! Way more nutrients the same amount of time--I put my water to boil while I prepare the rest. I stop it right before boiling point and pour into my lemon mixture. Then I go brush my teeth while the tea sits for 5 minutes. Why?? Because lemon juice erodes the enamel on your teeth! Brush before! Plus you have fresh breath for your workout, wakes you up!
