Hi Team
Life is a funny thing, Sometimes we have so many choices we don't know what to choose! That is a big thing in the health and fitness world. There are so many people telling us that "My way is the best way for..." well, inner peace and six pack abs! The problem with so many giving so many options, we have to make a choice. Even, if that choice may be different from what is already working.
Recently, I changed the way I was eating because I read something new and shiny and thought it would be a good idea to change.
The way I had been eating previously made me feel good and helped with my workouts and it fit into my life.
I changed it for the hell of it.
Guess what happened? I gained weight, and my sleep went all out of whack, and didn't feel myself. This week I went back to what was working for me and BOOM! I feel
So the old saying goes:
"Why fix something that isn't broken?"
All I'm saying that we all fall for something new and shiny, But it's the simple stuff that works - if you do it well and consistently.
You know,
"Show up
Eat well
Be consistent
Do your best"
Keeping fit and healthy, losing some body fat is simple if you keep doing what you know what's right.
Eat more fruit and veggies,
Eat more protein,
Treat yourself once in a while,
Walk everyday,
Get out of breath a couple of times a week,
Lift weight 3 times a week,
Here is a list of food for your shopping lists that will help.
1. Salmon
2. Bananas
3. Almonds
4. Oatmeal
5. Chicken
6. Mixed Berries
7. Pasta
8.Eggs

10. Raisins
11. Lean Beef
