eating good, feeling better (F.C. Week 3)

half the battle is pushing yourself to work out...
what's the other half?
i personally believe the hardest part to your new regimen is ...
e a t i n g 


that is the lifestyle change many people have a hard time adapting to.
you can read every guide, buy all the products, print all the recipes.



you may stick with it for a few weeks, and then fall off the band wagon.
you may get tired of the same stuff calling it boring, tasteless food.



you may be angry that you've pinned a billion delish recipes
and can't ever make any of it.
but you would be wrong.



you can stick with it
you can even try something yummy and ordinary!
 & even something with cheese in it.



never deny yourself of what you want.
but always remember what your end goal is. 
(your need/desire for change) 
you have to allow some and limit others.
maintain your portions. substitute for the healthier option.


drastic changes will only turn you off quicker.
the goal is a better, happier, healthier and fit YOU.
we've all heard the saying...
it's a marathon NOT a sprint.
the consistency of great changes and tweaks 
is what will keep you on the right path!



here's a couple of simple tips that can help - 
i've tried them and found great success with it!

maintain a meal schedule that works for your lifestyle
here's what i am working with AND yes life happens 
so there are days when i am unable to fit those times in ( I ADJUST)

meal schedule:

breakfast @ 7am
snack @ 9:30am
lunch @ 12pm
dinner @ pm 

tips to keep in mind:

PACK & (OVER)PREPARE
i pack my "food bag" like i do my suitcases
i do this because sometimes i want to switch it up

  remember power snacks 
(before & after workouts)

  avoid carbs after 2pm

  guarantee yourself whole grains everyday
  (they will keep you feeling full because they are rich in fiber)
