Fit Tip

No body's Perfect!

 

Missed your workout yesterday?  Overate at the company dinner?  Drank too much watching the Texans?



Just remember to get back on track as soon as possible.  Don't stress out!  This is life so roll with it.
If you're tempted to skip a workout just because your week isn't going as planned, tell yourself you'll feel better when its over!  You so will.

So I've already got the holiday blues!  How can it be November 1 (and by the by, I witnessed this happening in late October) and Christmas decorations already dispersed on the streets and in the shops?  Ugh.

Well, if its good enough for retailers, then its good enough for me...!  Start preparing your holiday fitness plans.

At this point, I would assume its already happening.  You've either got a whole ton of leftover candy in your decorative Halloween bowl, you've pilfered candy from your kids' bags, the office is stocked with (see above)...and the parties for future events are on the calendar in orange, red and green. 
Travel plans?  Booked.  Thanksgiving recipes bookmarked.  Christmas shopping?  Lists being made. Sales promotions?  Dog-eared the desired outfit for office party, with must-have boots.

Now, the tip.  PLAN YOUR EATING and EXERCISE SCHEDULE NOW!  Do not, do not, do not, wait until the week of Thanksgiving to "get in shape" and absolutely do not wait to think about what and how you are going to eat.

Put it in ink, share it with a friend, coworker, partner, a trainer.  Make 2012 your year to feel great and bonus, look great throughout the holidays and into the New Year. 

Imagine a year you don't have to launch with beginning a fitness routine.  

We love 2013

I've gotten into the habit of helping myself to a "second breakfast" be it good or bad.  My husband lovingly (?) calls me Hobbit.  And it seems like no matter what I eat-eggs, oatmeal, Kashi, Greek yogurt, berries, whey protein smoothies, waffles, pancakes, muffin...!!!!  I'm starving before 9:00.

I just saw this recipe in Fitness Magazine Nov/Dec issue and I can't wait to give it a go and see if my tummy holds off  a little bit longer.  It sounds delicious, easy, and packed full of all the healthy stuff meant to fill us up and keep us full.

Slice an avocado in half, lengthwise, remove the pit and carve some additional space in the center.  Crack an egg into the cavity.  Bake at 425 degrees for about 10 minutes or until set.  Enjoy!

It just sounds so good!  Give it a try and holler at me if you get creative with spices or additions.
