These days I spend half my life traveling to teach, which is awesome. But that means I can't train as much as I would like. I am living proof though, that eating right keeps your body on track even if you miss a few training sessions. Next time peeps don't despair if you can't get to the gym, just make sure you eat right! #eatclean #sixpack #travel #bikinibody #weightloss#diet #nutrition #fitnessmotivation
If you want to change your life you have to be willing to do something different than you are already doing now. You have to be willing to get out of your comfort zone. A life lived in fear is a life half lived. Every day is a new opportunity to work towards your dreams. You can have or do whatever you want, you just have to be willing to go for it. Have the courage to make these changes because this is the only life you are getting and you have to make everyday count.
Taking time out throughout the day will make you overall much more productive.
It is really important to seek balance in your life. I have been stuck on the computer all day so I decided to spend my lunch breakout outside and connect with nature and do some stretching. If you are working a lot, taking time out a couple times a day just to get a quick breather and to reset your mind will make you so much more productive overall. There is nothing worse than the feeling of being brain deal all day when you have deadlines looming.
Sometimes we have to stop and smell the roses.
For those who haven't added their detail, don't forget since I will be sending you all out a discount coupon code for my Nutrition e book in honour of Spring. I will be selling my book at 40% off but for 5 days only, starting May 1 until May 5.
In order to look and feel your best for Summer, Spring is the time you need to start being more focused. It takes time to get the body you want and to lose weight safely and make sure that it stays off. No more crash diets. Only slow steady weight loss with a nutritious balanced diet and exercise.
A bikini body is a year long task. Blowing out in winter and crash dieting in summer is not the way to go.
Bikini bodies are made in the Winter, not the Summer so when it is Winter it doesn't mean you can curl up on the couch and pig out while telling yourself that you will eat clean and hit the gym when it gets warmer. And when Summer comes around that doesn't mean you go on a crash diet to squeeze into your bikini for that beach trip which is a week away. Yo- Yo dieting and crash dieting are seriously one of the most damaging and aging things you can do to your body. Here is why...
Dieting or moments of calorie restriction put your body under undue stress where your body releases stress hormones which store fat more effectively. Skipping even one meal can put your body into a fat storing state! Continued calorie restricted dieting causes your metabolic rate to slow down, which is the rate at which your body burns calories for energy. Instead of using up your fuel for all your biological functions, your body stores your calories since it thinks it is starving and wants to save every last calorie for survival. So pigging out and then crash dieting will actually make you fatter in the long run.
The only way to long term weight loss is consistent healthy meals over time that nourishes your body while allowing your body to safely release stored body fat, but knowing HOW to eat for weight loss can be difficult. It is all about knowing WHAT to eat, WHEN to eat, HOW much to eat and WHY.
For those of you who have not already purchased my nutrition e book, now is the time to do it since the discount coupon code is only available for another couple of days. My book uncovers the HOW, WHAT, WHEN and WHY of eating for weight loss so that you can make life long informed choices to be in the best shape that you can be.
