Sometimes the crazy business of my life feels overwhelming. You'd think as a mom who stays home with her daughter that that would not be. But trying to juggle 2 jobs, being a mom, trying to help out at my dad's business when I can, housework, and a social life...it gets exhausting. So, on weekends like this when I'm not feeling the best anyway, my workout has gone to the wayside.
Its amazing though now how much I've come to miss them when I don't get them in. This weekend there were a lot of social obligations and the workouts just didn't happen, so I tried to eat even better than normal those days.
Another thing, stress. It is usually one of the biggest reasons NOT to exercise, yet exercise is one of the ways to get rid of it. Also, depression. I know from experience that when I'm feeling down, if I exercise, my mood is instantly lifted.
What are your struggles in your weight loss/journey to health? In becoming a coach, I've noticed that by helping others, it helps hold me to a higher standard than I would normally hold myself. We really are all in this together. :)
One of my favorite meals right now:
1 egg
3 egg whites
1 plum tomato
1 oz goat cheese
Cook it all together in a frying pan and eat with 1 piece of sprouted spelt toast. Yum!
Til next time! ~Jenn
I learned on Dr. Oz that spicy foods can boost your metabolism... maybe add some red pepper flakes or something with a kick to your omelette to give yourself a jump start? - Megan
ReplyDeleteThe only problem is that I have a digestive disorder and need to stay away from spicier things. My dad makes killer marinara sauce, but it really causes my stomach to hurt my eating it. I like that idea though. I'll have to look into other spices I could add that would help my metabolism!
