70%, 80%, or 90% YOU DECIDE
Remember taking care of your body means maintaining a lifestyle and that means you will try to watch what you eat and partake in some form of exercise every day that you are fortunate to be given another day. As with everything in life you can't give it 100% all of the time. Everything we do has an ebb and a flow to it. We can't give 100% to everything we do every day. Some days we don't work at 100% but that doesn't mean that we say we are terrible at our jobs and give them up. There are days when we can't give 100% to our children, our spouses or other obligations but we don't break our ties. So the same goes for eating well and exercising. You have not failed if you don't eat right or exercise at 100%. If you try for 100% but get to 80% that's ok, you will have improved yourself by 70%.
A FEW TIPS TO STAYING ON TRACK
DO NOT TAKE TIME OFF ON THE WEEKEND OR ON A MONDAY. YOU HAVE THE LUXURY OF TIME TO ADD A FEW MORE MINUTES TO WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE AS YOUR FORM OF EXERCISE. MONDAY IS THE START OF THE WEEK SO YOU WANT TO START OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT. (OR THE LEFT JUST MAKE SURE IT'S ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER.)
So we are starting slow.......This is about exercising consistently....and being part of your life. You have to listen to your body.......and act accordingly. A suggestion is to look at the week ahead of you and make dates and times for yourself to have exercise for yourself that is compatible with your present situation. Make the exercise something that you enjoy.........and gives you peace of mind.....and at the end leaves you with a sense of accomplishment. We all have this in our inner selves.
The schedule of the authors is built around our busy family and business considerations and "almost"
like clock work we meet at 6:30 am Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday......We normally do not communicate between the workout days ,but show up because we each know the other will be waiting.
This translates into a commitment..........to a lifestyle.......So think about it this week.....There are no real excuses........Do you want to change or just keep "doing what you do"....It's your life.....Your call !
Lisa Panakio Rowe....
whose photo and connection is in the prior post gives us the following recipe this week.......
How about a creamy banana desert that is cool and will slide DOWN YOUR MOUTH after one of your workouts.....that will not put weight on that body that you are going to make "rock hard ".......
PEEL FOUR OR MORE BANANAS,FREEZE THEM OVERNIGHT........WHEN READY.......
PUT THEM IN A FOOD PROCESSOR.....AND LET IT WORK.....IT WILL COME OUT SMOOTH,CREAMY AND DELICIOUS......You can add different fruits,etc. It is all good.
Give us your questions and feedback..... ENJOY...........
