Good Morning folks! How was everyone's weekend? Mine was amazing! I relaxed, tanned ( or actually toasted lol), and spent quality time with those I love. I sticked to my diet and never went in to grab an Oreo or potato chip. The group actually decided to go to Dairy Queen and I did not feel tempted at all, and let me tell you..... Ice cream is my weakness!!
Well today Is just another day in the life of a foodie queen! Woke up and has my oats and egg whites. As I was eating them I was watching TV, charmed to be exact, and I notice how they always seem to just have a cup of joe for breakfast! I cringe at the thought. Ever since I was a little girl my mother always made me have breakfast. Even if it was small bit it was something. She always told me "it's the most important meal of the day", she was absolutely right!
Breakfast jump starts your day. It provides you the fuel to have energy throughout the rest of your day. Many think that cutting it out will help them lose weight, but it's all the opposite! Not eating breakfast slows down your metabolism and will actually make it more difficult to lose weight. Those that slip it willies likely eat heavier on the next meal or nibble on high-calorie snacks. This can also lead to obesity in children and young adults. So the next time you want to rush out the door with just a cup of joe, remember you are doing more harm than good.
If you feel like you don't have time in the morning to make eggs and oatmeal you can make overnight oats (recipe soon) or have some protein bars already baked and ready to go.
Alrighty gonna go hit the weights today! Day 24 and I got back and no eps today. Last week of phase 1.... Can't wait to begin phase 2
