It's Monday, January 3rd... I'm guessing today is the day a lot of people are starting their New Years Resolutions... so whether you are trying to lose weight or you are trying to get in shape, remember, diet is the most important aspect of any program. No matter how many times I go over this, people still only want to ask me about my exercises and/or workouts. Diet is 80% Exercise is 20%, you can't do enough exercises to overcome bad eating habits, it's impossible.
If you eat right, you can eat more. Think deep color fresh fruits and vegetables, Whole grain breads and pastas, lean proteins like Chicken, Turkey and 97% fat free Beef, Tuna, Salmon... and healthy fats like nuts(unsalted, of course) Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and peanut butter.
Give your body what it needs and can use right away and your body will reward you. Give it junk like sugary cereals, hot dogs, white bread, etc.. it will revolt and make you fat, sick or worse. Did you know it takes your body 7 years to completely digest a Twinkie, does that sound healthy to you?
When you go shopping at the food market, stick to the outer aisles, that's where the good stuff is... the produce at one end and the eggs and cottage cheese at the other. Meats along the far wall and a few good aisles for spices, oil, and grains. But most of the aisles in between have all the bad stuff.
I'm already on my 3rd day for my resolutions... for my work-out I did 30 minutes of walking, 40 minutes of weight training... Shoulder's today... (you never know when someone might need a strong shoulder to lean on.)
I ate clean as usual and I did 30 minutes of German.
I still have to work on my slower driving though, LOL I am actually driving slower, but not as slow as I should, but it's a start.
