Each day this week make it your top priority to exercise for at least 30 to 45 minutes on an empty stomach, doing so will force your body to use your body’s fat stores for energy.
If you’re new to training then start off slow by power walking in the mornings and lifting 2 to 3 times a week by doing 3 sets of 12 to 15 repetitions, use medium weight dumbbells, just make sure your heart rate is elevated until you work up a sweat.
Then choose to eat delicious,
nutritional wholesome foods, it's truly a priceless gift that only you can give
to you. Doing so you'll feel in control of your thoughts and emotions, and
you'll feel better with more energy! Aim to eat every 3 to 4 hours, if you
forget to eat then take note of when you eat and set an alarm on your phone to
remind you to eat another small meal in 3 hours.
GET QUALITY SLEEP
Get to bed BEFORE 10:30 pm each
night. It's much more difficult to train and have the willpower to eat clean
when you’re tired all the time. Lack of quality sleep induces stress hormones
in the body which causes an incline in cortisol levels which spurs the body to
preserve extra energy (aka fat stores) in case it has to run for its life due
to the influx of stress hormones.
When
you’re overly tired it’s difficult for the mind to handle everyday stresses. Our
body is hard-wired to react to stress more naturally than seeing the good in
life, it’s what keeps us safe and aids in avoiding dangers as much as we go about
our day; however, sometimes when we’re really overly stressed the body kicks
into “fight or flight” mode which drains us of good health, energy and not to
mention it causes us to have an insatiable appetites, causes illness and even
cancer if prolonged year after year.
Thankfully exercising and eating wholesome foods regularly throughout the day by having small meals packed with fresh veggies, fruits, lean proteins and good fats will keep your stress levels down and extra fat stores at bay.
Set Your Intention
This week declare your intentions be positive! Affirm your desires by saying affirmations throughout the day such as, “I LOVE to
