80-10-10

In the mortgage world, that would mean, 80% first loan, a 10% second loan, with 10% down. It is great way to avoid PMI.... but, in the get fit biz, it means, 80% diet, 10% training and 10% genetics. Now which one of those, can you NOT control.... now that you know what YOU can control... it's all up to you!!

The Diet... do we really need to call it a diet??? I think once we figure out that we eat to sustain our bodies, we eat for nutrition and for health. Eating is not a social event, people! Yes, food tastes good, but, everything that tastes good, is not necessarily good for you. Once you realize that you are eating for a purpose and not pure enjoyment ( don't get me wrong, there is a time and place for enjoying food), the whole "diet" gets easier, and don't worry clean eating can taste good, too!

At least 5 small meals a day... complete with a lean protein and a complex carb. Lots of veggies, a few fruits, and some slow burning starches. It is that simple. Ya, ya, I know, maybe it's not... but, it is preparation, being in control of what you put in your mouth, and practice. Yes, practice... learning what your body needs and how it responds.

Learning that no amount of cardio alone will re-shape your body... but, by adding weight training with nutrition you WILL change your shape!

So, this week let's concentrate on the biggest thing, the 80% that we can change, our eating...
the other 10% we can change, our training and then that 10% we was born with, well, we can work on that too... that's our ATTITUDE

If you need help, most of you know, I LOVE LOVE, the eat clean diet books, by Tosca Reno. If the whole clean eating concept confuses you, check her out... it really helped me.

Have a great week and I would love to hear from you on what your favorite eat clean snacks are?
