I really wanted to stay in bed this morning, its really great when there is no little mini me in between me and my love. I some how was able to force my self out of bed. Yes I am sore!
Plyo, thank heavens (at least for right now), was more of lower body and jumping and twisting. I would not have been able to do any push ups today if my life depended on it. In fact at the end of the workout one of the first cool down stretches was downward facing dog, and lets just say my downward facing dog turned into an all four position :)
Today, I have resolved to eat a little healthier. (at least for today) I am going to start taking out food for my lunch and replacing it with a shake. My mother and father are distributors of a product called reliv. And there is a product they sell that is a meal replacement, it is called slimplicity. I have strawberry and it is great with some frozen strawberries, half a banana, and orange juice. I am also adding a tbsp of ground flax seed.

Side note: I write my post in the morning and just update my meals as the day continues.

So what is this flax seed?
F is for fiber. 2 tbsp gives you 4 grams of fiber, as much as 1-1/2 c of cooked oatmeal. It also helps drop LDL cholesterol
L is for lignans. Lignans are natural antioxidants, and flax seed contains high levels of them. 2 tbsps of flax seed will give you as many lignans as much as 30 cups of fresh broccoli.
A is for Alpha-linolenic Acid. Alpha-linolenic Acid is a kind of omega-3 fatty acid found in plants. It is similar to the omega-3 fatty acids that are in fish oil. The oil in flax seed is about 50% alpha-linolenic acid, the next highest sources have about 10%. 2 tbsp have 2400 milligrams of omega 3.
X is for excellent choice. There’s some evidence it may help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.  

As the weeks go on, I will be adding a few new things to my daily meal/routine. There will be a liver cleanse that I will do every morning, and I will being adding sprouts more so to my meals (thanks for my Chirstmas present Mom). Who knows what else I will do, but I plan on updating you with information and why I am doing what I am doing in hopes that you may be able to learn something or even want to try some of these things in your life style change. Who really knows if they will help boost the weight loss, but eating healthier is something that will make me feel better!

It is the end of the evening and my husband wants to make fun of me because I didn't want to eat and munch on things this afternoon, so today I had to find something to do that would keep me busy. What did I decide to do....Make and Decorate Cookies :) If you want to see what I did you can go check out our (my sis and I) facebook page Burns No More.
