I really need to get in shape. I go up a flight of stairs and I'm dead! :[
I don't have enough energy to play with my nieces/younger cousins for very long.
I feel worn and overweight and... Ugh.
(I might not look it, but it's not very good..)
So I am possibly going to be trying to do healthy foods and do some form of exercise before work in the mornings. I am too tired or have too much going on after work to really do much.
We have been horrible about eating healthy. We mostly eat junk because we are too lazy to make something or to thaw out the meat or whatever we want to make.
Sadly, that also means I have to figure out healthier food to take to work that is easy to make/transport/warm. Being I only get 15 min breaks every few hours, I kinda have only that much time to heat anything up.
I need awesome food ideas!
I also wouldn't mind good morning exercise ideas. My body is not very flexible, especially in the morning (is anybody's??). So I have to do things that I can handle at this point.
I figure, it can't hurt and it will definitely help with my bad knees and neck. (It makes me feel old! -_-)
Maybe putting it out there will help motivate me to be better about stuffs...?
Comment below with any tips/recipes/exercises you have for me! Things that worked for you... even things that really didn't help you would be helpful! Even links to cool blogs related topic(s)?
Maybe I'll actually try that detox stuff in the future, too?
Ciao for now!

That detox stuff makes you feel worse. I would avoid that and just eat good food. For lunch at work, you could take a sandwich on whole grain bread--Costco's Aspen Mills or their mixed grains in the paper/cello at their bakery is the best we've found and an apple or/and some carrots. I think your mom has a Costco card. For breakfast, you could have whole grain toast, an egg or peanut butter (with just peanuts not the hydrogenated kind) and a banana and a glass of milk or a bowl of healthy cereal. For dinner, you could have a big green salad with lots of other veggies in, a microwave baked potato or sweet potato, chicken/meat that comes already to put from the freezer to the oven. Or a frozen pizza with veggies added on top. They have big boxes of mixed green salad at Costco. Already to eat.
Your plate should be 50% veggies and fruit, 25% carbs and 25% protein.
Drink lots of water. We have a fruit drink a few times a week that has water, a banana, juice from a lime, blueberries, greens, strawberries and tropical fruit. We get the blueberries, and a mix of strawberries and tropical fruit frozen at Costco. This is for 2 people.
Save sweets, sugar and soda pop for special occasions.
We also take a Vitamin D, Fish oil and B-Complex a day.
I don't get enough exercise, but cleaning house or a car and going for a walk is good exercise.
I don't know if this is any help. If I think of anything else, I'll write again. It was good to see you last nite.
thanks! :)
