Day 1, Ready to Go!!!

       Okay so here I go first thing I did was get everyone off to school and work. Next I actually had breakfast, I normally don't eat first thing in the morning its usually closer to 11am before I have a bite to eat. This morning I had breakfast by 7:15. For breakfast I had a light pre-workout meal, 2 pieces of whole wheat toast with sunflower seed butter and a smear of sugar-free peach preserves, and of course my cup of coffee. Oh also before I had breakfast I had my serving 1/2cup of canary seed milk. Later I will post about its benefits and how to prepare it. My next step is to get my equipment together and hydrate before I start my workout. If your going to start a workout program make sure you see your doctor and get a full physical, head to toe and blood-work done. I did this last week got my results on Friday, I'm very healthy except for the fact that my BMI says I am OBESE!!! The doctor has actually prescribed diet pills to help me with my over eating. I am an emotional eater /stress eater, my mother has cancer, I have a teenager and preteen with crazy hormonal moods, so my stress level is high. However because I'm healthy my insurance will not cover the cost of the medication and I am not going to pay $250 out of pocket, heck no!!! So hard work and discipline is a must, as well as meditation to help with stress. If I can control my stress then I should be able to control my mindless junk food binges.

    I have some errands to run but I am making ME first priority. This is something most stay home parents do not do often. If you would like a calendar to follow for your workouts here is one that I am using. Someone else did a great job putting one together, this makes it easier and less work for me slim in 6 excel calendar.  Okay enough blabbing or writing and time for action. Because ACTIONS speak LOUDER THAN WORDS!!! Hope you all have a great day and I will check back in later. To health and happiness.

            It sounds odd and probably unappealing, but it is actually great tasting. You can make your own or buy it already prepared powdered to which you just add to water. Its cheaper like most things to make it yourself and you know what is going into it, bonus. This "milk" contains protein, fiber and antioxidants and amino acids. All of these things are great for your body especially when working out. Alpiste offers as much as 10g of protein per serving , which is about 1/2 cup. Another benefit is this enzymatic drink helps control cholesterol and lower high blood pressure. The amazing milk can also detoxify your organs such as your liver and kidneys.
