Goal Call Monday: September 29

Here are my goals for the week.

At least 4 days of exercise, 50 reps on Ab Coaster every time I go to the gym and drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. I have been doing well with water but I’m finding that I’m slacking a little so I want to really be mindful of how much water I do drink every day.

Oh and I have been really bad about taking my measurements on a consistent monthly basis so it’s back to doing that and taking pictures.

What are your goals for the week?

Advantages of Eating Breakfast

It’s Fit & Healthy Friday

Today’s Tip: Advantages of Eating Breakfast

There are quite a few advantages of eating breakfast. Eating breakfast will help keep you from snacking throughout the day, give you more energy and help you concentrate better. Refueling yourself after a night of sleep is very important. Eating breakfast will help raise your metabolism too. Make sure your breakfast includes the following: whole grain, fiber, calcium and protein.

It was definitely a challenge for me to add breakfast to my day as I was only drinking coffee. But gradually I did start eating it and what a positive difference it made and now I can’t live without it. If you are like I was and are only used to drinking coffee for breakfast, you could whip up a quick smoothie, eat a piece of fruit, or have a slice of toast with peanut or almond butter to start. I’ll touch on more great breakfast ideas in another post sometime.

Do you eat breakfast on a daily basis? If so, please feel free to share some of your favorite healthy breakfast foods. If you don’t currently eat breakfast, I would like to challenge you to start your day right with a healthy breakfast.
