Day 1 - 7 day detox back to fitness and weight loss journey

Image
By
Today, I started Day 1 of my 7 day detox to cleanse my body and to give myself a jumpstart back on my fitness and weight loss journey. Well, how did it go? I flopped!!! My motivation was there but I was starving by the time I made it home form work... I drunk my ACV and Green smoothie for breakfast, My cabbage soup for lunch and had plenty of water, but I have to get my body back to this lifestyle. I have taken a long break because it has been so much going on within this past year from March 2016 I broke my toe and a lot in my personal life has been going on. So stress eating began and even though the foods I was eating were healthy choices, too much healthy foods can pack on pounds as well especially when majority of them are high carbs and you're not working out.

My goal is to lose 60 pounds by my birthday which is on September 9th with a well balanced meal plan (meal prepping) and exercise 4-5 days a week. So please continue to follow my journey with me for great tips on how this fit mom over 40 loses 60 pounds being a vegetarian (plant-based diet).


Most of my green smoothie recipes come from the 10 day green smoothie cleanse book written by JJ Smith. I purchased mine on amazon for my kindle but you can also purchase the book in your local target stores or book stores.


Much Love,

Angela #FitMomOver40

Flirty Girls 10 Reasons To Work Out in The Mornings

By
10 Reasons to Workout in the Morning     It can be challenging to make the time to exercise. But exercising in the morning is a wonderful way to create a positive routine and provides many added benefits beyond just keeping you fit.   1. Burn FAT instead of calories Get up, get a glass of water, and workout. No breakfast, no small bite beforehand. Do not take in a single calorie until you do cardio first. The reasoning behind this is when you exercise without eating, your body needs to tap into something for energy. Your body's first source of energy is glycogen but since this was depleted overnight your body must burn unwanted FAT to get you through your workout.   2. Better long-term results Over 90% of people who exercise *consistently*, exercise in the morning. Our bodies love routine. If you force yourself to get up when your alarm goes off, your body will thank you and pay you back.   Extra perk: People who exercise regularly earn 9% more income than people who don't.   3

Gotta Get Some Shut Eye

By
Have you ever had a day where it just feels like 24 hours isn't enough?. By the time you realize it, it's 1 o'clock in the morning and you have to get back up in 4 hours. Well, that was my day yesterday and it showed in my personal training session today. My trainer actually could tell in my workout that I didn't get any sleep and man did I feel it. I had no energy and I felt sluggish but I did the best that I could, which wasn't good enough. I went out after work to eat with friends and to see the movie "The Best Man Holiday" , which by the way is a must see for those who have not seen it yet. I loved it!!!... By the time I made it home and got myself together for bed, it was about 1:30a and I was back up @5am trying to get to my training session @ 6:30am and still ended up getting there 15 minutes late. An average adult needs between 7-9 hours of sleep every night, even though some of us can function off of 4-6 hours of sleep, eventually it will catch
