DO NOT SKIP BREAKFAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone~ Hope this Thursday finds you well.
Just wanted to touch bases with you on how important breaking your fast was! Read on!!!!!!!!!!!

Despite the healthful benefits breakfast may be the meal that is most often neglected or skipped. Eating breakfast not only aids in weight management, it fuels the body to help provide energy, better concentrating and problem-solving throughout the day. Breakfast "skippers" often feel tired, restless or irritable in the morning.
You break the fast of not eating for the past 8 to 12 hours. It helps curb your hunger and prevent binge eating later in the day.

Here are a few samples of healthy breakfast:
-whole grain cereal topped with fruit and cup of yogurt
-whole grain waffles top with natural peanut butter, fruit or ricotta cheese
-whole wheat pits stuffed with sliced hard cooked eggs
-hot cereal topped with cinnamon, nutmeg or cloves
-natural peanut butter on a bagel with fresh fruit and low fat milk
-breakfast smoothie ( protein powder, fruit and a teaspoon of bran in a blender
-vegetable omelet with bran muffin and orange juice

Hope this help all you "skippers" out there to change your lifestyle. Start slow if you cant stomach much in the morning so your body can adapt.

Time for you to get felt up! :)

Hahaha!
Hope I got your attention!

I wanted to touch on the benefits of getting a massage. Its not just for leisure but it truly does help in every aspect of your health. If you are trying to gain mass read on!

Massage therapy helps all systems in the body detoxify and calms the nervous system. All the lactic acid that builds up from the anaerobic activity is what causes soreness. Massage helps "flush" that out of our tissues. Our bodies and spines also become very compressed while lifting and building stronger muscles. Massage helps create space again where our bodies have contracted and in turn allows our joints to move freely.

Another huge benefit from massage is added size! Bodybuilders can benefit greatly in terms of growth because of the rapid recovery and physical "space" it creates for your muscles to grow into.

With all this being said what are you waiting on!
Treat yourself to a massage at least twice a month if not more!

If you live in DFW Texas area I am a massage therapist- please email me at fitnessladybug@ymail.com to schedule you appointment.

Put down that Diet Coke and grab some water!!!

Hello my sweet friends!

I often get asked questions about the importance of water. There are many benefits so I decided to list them out for ya!

Benefits of drinking water aka H2O ;)

1. Lose Weight: Drinking water helps you lose weight because it flushes down the by-products of fat breakdown. Yuck! Also reduces hunger, its an effective appetite suppressant. Plus, water has zero calories.

2. Natural Remedy for Headache

3. Look Younger and Healthier Skin- Water helps to replenish skin tissues, moisturizes skin and increase elasticity.

4. Better Productivity at Work- Your boss will love this one! Your brain is made mostly of water so drinking water helps you think better, be more alert and concentrate more.

5. Better Workouts- Drinking regulates your body temperature.

6. Helps Digestion and Constipation

7. Less Cramps and Sprains- Water keeps your joints and muscles lubricated.

8. Relieves Fatigue- Water is used by the body to help flush out toxins and waste products. If your body lacks of water your heart needs to work harder to pump out the oxygenated blood to all cells, so are the rest of the vital organs. Your organs will be exhausted and so will you.

9. Good mood :)

10. Reduces the Risk of Cancer-Drinking water may reduce the risks of bladder cancer and colon cancer. Water also dilutes the concentration of cancer causing agents in the urine.

So what are you waiting for drink up!!!
