Today has not been a good nutrition day for me.  To be honest, recently I have not been eating as healthy as I should be.  I let the holiday candies get me very time!  Easter candy is especially a major weakness for me! I have also let afternoon snacking sneak back in, and that has always been a major downfall for me!

While I am no longer actively trying to lose weight, I still need to eat the right way not only in order to keep all the weight off, but also, more importantly,  in order to be healthy!  Since I have been on maintenance I have not gained any weight, but I easily could if I continue to eat poorly and allow myself to snack.

I have not been as strict about keeping a food journal.  I have to admit, journaling really keeps me accountable for what I eat which keeps me on track!   So, I have decided that I am going to have to have to start food journaling again.  It is tedious and time consuming, but it is so effective!

You may not realize it, but flexibility is just as important for you as strength and cardio!  Sometimes I am so sore from a previous intense workout that I need to focus for a few days on flexibility and stretching.  This is a quick 10 minute flexibility workout by (my favorite) Jessica Smith!

Remember to keep good proper form and warm up before and stretch after you exercise!

You may remember me complaining about my chubby knees in my post about Jeans and Genes  (If you would like to read more about it you can check it out by clicking HERE.)  Well, this workout isn’t necessarily for chubby knees but it’ll still give you a quick 5 minute leg workout that’ll have you going from flab to fab in no time!

I love that this video has a count down clock on it.  I don’t know about you, but it makes a big difference for me to be able to see the time ticking down!

Slow Progress is Better Than NO Progress

Sometimes we hear about someone who is losing a bunch of weight really fast on a fad diet, it may seem like it isn’t fair. While you are doing things the right way and seeing little losses and slow progress, it can get discouraging.  Don’t give up!  Often with good healthy lifestyle changes the progress seems to be slow going.  But anything worth doing is worth doing right!  While some of these diets seem to give high weight lose quickly, often it is in an unhealthy way!  If you want to have a long healthy life, you have to make permanent changes, not just quick fad diet changes. Your overall heath is much more important than being “skinny”!

Slow progress is better than NO progress. Fad diets and quick fixes are not permanent! Only good healthy lifestyle changes will last!  You and your health are worth the time and effort!
