October Champion

Congratulations to me this week! It is only the 6th and guess how many time I have worked out so far this month? 5x ...yay
And I feel great and I can see a bit of difference inside and out, so keep up the good work, Miss Active :)

Viva Variety

Tip to not feel like you're missing out on the yummy munchies but in fact are eating more:
Eat a Variety of Foods, yay……
Instead of eating those 6 slices of pizza, just have one slice and then have a salad and then if you are still bugging out for more carbs and greasy cheese and meat just have an apple instead and then a big glass of water and then a nice hot cup of green tea and if you are still having a food epi have a liquid soup and, if you must, you can have one slice of whole wheat linseed bread w/ the liquid soup and if you are still in the mood to eat like a gross pig then have a low fat yogurt.
So there you have eaten a variety of only 3 things and your jaw should be tired by then, geez that is if you stopped at the apple.  But if you had to go all out and eat the whole lot, at least, if you think about it, you still only had just one slice of pizza which is honestly the only taboo food in that mix…..well only if you had a responsible salad dressing.

Will and Way...so way

A taste is best just don’t eat the rest!
Find any excuse to burn carbs instead of finding any excuse (and free time) to fill filling your pie hole.
So what if it is only 10 Kjs or 400 Kjs of exercise, they all add up regardless and you will be so happy to be getting stuff done!...instead of getting fatter, fatty.
Just doing the dishes burns 40kjs, running around w/ a pet or playing w/ kids burns heaps, standing up, gardening, sewing, walking, shopping, reorganizing, having a yard sale, photography, and padlocking the empty fridge all burn kilojoules and you are not even working out, you are just being productive. Combine your new found passion for productivity w/ just 3 days a week cardio/weight program.
What did you say? Oh, your looking so fit because you have been so busy running your personal empire of awesomeness? Well, good on you! Keep up the good work!

Bob Marley Wellness & Fitness role model

Dear Bob was not only a “poet and a prophet” but also a pretty healthy, very fitness orientated fellow.

He loved playing soccer so much that he refused an operation that could have ruined his active lifestyle but might have saved his life.

Bob was not a big drinker which is beneficial to any waistline but he didn’t live for food either.  Bob loved delicious blended fruit smoothies made from fresh fruit and also drank fish tea daily, full of healthy omega-3’s I imagine, which is great for your mental and physical well-being.  So good that some say Icelandic people have the highest mental health rate nationwide compared to other nations due to the high intake of fish in their diet, ahem omegas! Wellness was very important to Bob so he was not only a pioneer of peace but of well-being too.

At home when Bob was not playing music he was shooting hoops or playing soccer in the community getting everyone active, I mean who would not want to play soccer with Bob Marley, right.

I am not condoning drug use of course but light stimulants can help your focus, motivation and fat burning. Coffee for example is full of antioxidants and will help get you in the game if you are feeling a little off yours….like being on the couch instead, no way!
Bob was the opposite of a couch potato, Marley was no slouch.

Marley can definitely pass for a fitness role model, so here’s to you Bob Marley, thanks for inspiring so many people inside and out…….and in life and in death. 

Rastafari!

Hangover

Yeah, so what you are hung over. That is the best time to have a "no brainer" Mr. Hypothalamus because I am already a total zombie with my zombie like hangover symptoms. 
Use that to your advantage instead of having a hangover junk food epi fest, be too hungover and lazy to eat, too lazy to over eat junk at least. 
Brains.....brains......I mean protein, protein baby, if you must feed, fatty, protein is your answer. If you like eggs I recommend an impromptu huevos rancheros:

•                                  Salsa

•                                  beans

•                                  eggs

may be some olives too? hhhmmm am I too lazy to cook now after writing this brilliant recipe, perhaps.I am sure you can figure out the rest of it and go for a swim later too or something ya hungover zombie freak! .......and may be I will let you lie around and watch a rom com......if you are good!
aaahhh, mental masturbation.......
Eeeww eating just totally grosses me out now, I am afraid to start. It's like masturbation isn't it, honestly, it is self inflicted oral sex and I have been one sick puppy!
Must I feed, really?

OCTOBER = Hypothalamus awareness month

Yes, people say, "ooooh, you look fine" and "why would you be on a diet?" ......Sure you can pull off looking good but why not look great, duh, it should be a no brainer, so shut up ya hypothalamus and focus on my breathing and other sympathetic functions that aren't rooted in sense slavery.  

I'm saying "NO" the the Hungry Hungry Hypo

It doesn't matter what any one else says or how they think you look if your flab is hanging over your waist line there is obviously a situation that needs to be dealt with. After that you will be stronger to tackle any situation and excel like never before in all that you want.

You are not settling for this physique, come on, give me a break!...digestive track that obviously needs one ;) hahaha......
