Well Well Well.. have fun this weekend?
Today is a great time to set some REALISTIC expectations and goals
for yourself and the week.
Maintaining an awareness for your diet, staying hydrated,
commitment to cardio or fitness of choice.
HEALTH & BEAUTY GROW WITHIN.
Reserve YOU time.
Taking care of your Physical and Mental health should be a top priority.
I swear by how you start the day, will make a huge difference in your weight, mentality and metabolism...
1. BREAKFAST
Get that Protein, Get those Complex Carbohydrates, and an appropriate serving
of fruit (watch that fructose!)
As we get older, most our our Metabolism's are slowing..
Skipping breakfast is one of the worst things you can do for weight loss since it causes your metabolism to slow down. When you don't eat, the brain sends a message to the rest of the body to conserve energy, signaling it to hold onto the stored fat that you're trying to get rid of. Eating within an hour of waking sparks the metabolic process called thermogenesis that turns the food you eat into energy.
And no — a cup of coffee does not count as breakfast!
Instead choose one of these high-protein breakfast ideas under 350 calories.
2. Snack Away Bae! Throughout the Day!
Not saying to indulge every chance you get, but keeping satisfying snacks on hand will save you from depriving your body then surrendering to a nasty binge later.. the worst.
Make sure to eat throughout the day to maintain blood sugar levels since any drops can cause the body to burn muscle for fuel.
Healthy Snacks
3. Cardio & Exercise
Not exercising: Research shows you continue burning calories up to 24 hours after working out, and studies also show that morning exercises burn more calories than those who sweat it out during other times of the day. If you're planning on exercising anyway, for maximum calorie burn, your best bet is to get it done in the a.m. Include high intensity cardio intervals since challenging yourself is proven to activate fat-burning genes, which translates to an increased post-workout calorie burn — 100 to 200 more.
Not pumping iron: Lean muscle mass burns calories, and just adding five to 10 pounds of lean muscle to your frame will increase your daily calorie burn by 100 calories. Include strength training in your morning routine such as this 10-minute metabolism-boosting workout
