Nutrition Tip of the Day
Try Something New
I get in to such a nutrition rut! One thing that a couple of our friends do is find a new fruit/vegetable and look for a recipe on how to use it. It keeps the kitchen and fresh foods fun! For example, if you've never used eggplant try it! I always find that some new things work for us and some don't...but you never know until you try :)
Exercise Tip of the Day
Rest is Good!
I have talked about before it is imperative to give your body rest. Do not feel guilty for taking a few days off during the week. For example, if your goal is 3 days a week of cardio and 2 days of strength training, make sure that you are taking 2 full days off! Or if you want to up your cardio to 4 days and strength to 3 days, make sure that you do cardio and strength together one day so you can have a day of rest! Even bodybuilders take at least one day off during the week to allow their bodies to heal and rejuvenate!

My Progress
Well, it has officially been 4 weeks since this journey began! I can say that my clothes are fitting better (even though the number on the scale is not going too far down!), and I have a lot more energy! As I stated on Friday, I know that I need to increase my cardiovascular workouts. Coach K and I are working out on a regular basis and we are progressing wonderfully!
My eating has always been a stumbling block for me, and it still continues to be! It is all those little "extras." For instance, the Starbucks coffee here and there, or the piece of chocolate here and there. I know it is okay to have a treat once in a while, but I tend to it more than once in a while! Especially on Mother's Day! I need to continue to be more diligent in sticking to my free days.
