LAST DAY OF THE MONTH

If you think about it only the calendar says its the last day of the month. Why not make today the FIRST day of something awesome. A new workout, a new way if eating, or just a new approach and attitude to your day? It's really all up to you.

LACK OF SLEEP TRANSLATES TO WEIGHT GAIN

Snooze more to weigh less. Lack of sleep makes us hungrier and less active. The result: We end up eating more and burning fewer calories.

Keep your weight in check by getting a good night’s rest. Lack of sleep packs a double whammy on the waistline by increasing our appetite while discouraging physical activity. As we all know, even one night of tossing and turning can leave us tired and lethargic. Researchers found that people who didn’t get enough shut-eye moved less and burned fewer calories. Being poorly rested also stimulates the hunger hormone ghrelin, which jacks up our appetites and makes it harder to resist overeating. Some research even suggests that there may be a link between the number of hours we sleep, and obesity and diabetes — with people who sleep the least being at greater risk for both. If your sleep habits aren’t what you’d like them to be, talk to your doctor.

NO REST ON MY REST DAY

Have you ever worked out on your rest day? Is that bad? Not necessarily.
It's okay to do this occasionally but definitely don't make a habit of it. But when you do it make it a less strenuous workout so your body can moderately recover. As you know I'm in the middle of BODY BEAST. So my workout of choice today was AB RIPPER X!

Do You Have Enough To Eat?

If you work away from the house you know what a pain it is to prepare your meals for the day. HINT: OVER PREPARE!!
Always take more than you need or keep some emergency items always at work. It's horrible to stay a lot later at work and miss your dinner schedule or have a lunch cancel on you and then have to find somewhere to eat.
Working out hard also means being a great planner!

School is Back

Those of us with kiddos are now experiencing the fun of going back to school! Dragging little ones out of bed, dealing with buses, etc..But another unwelcome guest is the germs your kids being home! Increase your immune system strength by maintaining a good diet and getting lots of sleep. This will help you stay on track with your workouts and also allow you to help your little ones heal while you stay healthy! Good luck!

Body Beast Day 39 Cardio Abs

Over ate yesterday. All healthy just a lot! Woke up full this morning so this was a harder than usual workout 😣 But I did it!
So how many of YOU DO IT when you don't want to?

Over Carbed

So today I really wanted to focus on my protein fat carb intake. I do this normally out of habit but today decided to do some counting. It's about 1:30pm and I am super sleepy!! Yup way too many carbs. Hopefully Shakeology and my protein bar will get be back in track for the rest of the day.
