We are officially half way through October. Has this month been a turning point for you nutritionally and actively? I hope that it has. I hope my posts help to get you there if you feel you are not yet there. Being active and getting fit doesn't have to mean spending an hour or more in the gym you can be active with your family. Go for a walk or a bike ride or even to play at the park. Yes you can play with them at the park you don't just have to sit on the bench and watch them.
To my friends who began the 10 day cleanse this week. Keep it up! You can do it! Stick to a healthy eating plan even after your 10 days are up. You will be feeling wonderful in no time! Yes you will still struggle from time to time after, you will want those sweets or alcohol but that is where your once a week cheat meal becomes so important it really does help to curb those cravings! Look up and plan healthy meals, drinks, and yes even sweets in advance. Make a weekly meal plan, then make your grocery list off of that. Teach your kids to eat this way to don't buy them separate meals or treats. A piece of fruit or some carrot sticks make a great snack for them too.
While so often when we talk of eating healthy and working out and living an active fit life we think of it as being over weight or having a few extra pounds to shed. But did you know that being under weight, not eating enough, and working out to much without fueling those workouts is just as bad? It increases your risk for the same diseases that being over weight does and poses other threats such as shutting down your internal organs if you are truly starving yourself. You have to learn to be happy with you! To be the best YOU that YOU can be! Being rail thin is NOT attractive! Loosing teeth because you vomit up everything you eat-NOT attractive! If you are starving yourself your body is eating away at its muscle once that is gone next go your organs, they will not function properly. You should NEVER be eating below 1200 calories no matter who you are(yes I understand the 10 day cleanse makes that a little difficult but it is still possible and it is only for 10 days). Learn to love you! Turn that rail thin image off in your head and turn on the image of a fit active healthy person who has some muscle and and something other than skin on those bones! If you have a true honest problem with this don't be afraid to seek professional help, without it you may not live a long healthy life watching your children grow or allowing yourself to grow up and do all of the things you have always wanted to do like graduate from college or travel the world.
Stay fit my friends!
