The My Fitness Pal App

Track your diet & exercise with this app – it’s amazingly helpful!

I have known about this app for a while but didn’t really understand what it was about or how it could be so helpful.  I was recently re-introduced to it by a nutritionist and Miss Fitness Body Builder called Carla Chacksfield.  Having seen her competition photo’s and listened to what she had to say about diet and exercise, it’s clear we are on the same page.  Carla told me to download this App so I can track my daily food intake in order to make sure I am eating right for my goals.  The day after my first day of tracking I went from 9 stone 1.2 to 9 stone 0.4…not bad!

I actually ate under 2000 calories on the first day, I didn’t feel at all hungry and we also went out for dinner…plus I had 2 small glasses of wine.  Tracking food and water intake made me a lot more conscious of my consumption.

A common problem is that people actually don’t eat enough.  If you enter into this cycle initially you will lose weight.  However, over time it is not sustainable.  You will feel tired, hungry and irritable and in extreme cases cause metabolic damage.  Anyway, that’s a complicated subject, with many factors to take into account and something I feel is for another post.

I shall be adding a post soon about how to determine your calorie and Macro intake for each day (Macro’s are your Protein, Carbohydrate and Fat intake).  This will be for someone who is wanting to burn body fat whilst working out – after all, the two go hand in hand!

Going paleo…Pancakes for breakfast anyone?

 

Paleo pancakes with arrowroot powder 2

 

Breakfast can be a bit of a pain sometimes…depending on how hungry you wake up.  Sometimes I wake up and I don’t eat until about 10.30 because I’ll usually do a workout first thing.  However, today I have a cold so I’m not exercising and I could so easily have devoured a big piece of toast!

Having been away for the weekend and not having access to my usual foods, my skin has erupted around the jaw area (I think due to dairy and possibly wheat).  This is a good motivator to stay on track with the right foods in normal circumstances.

I’ve found the best alternative to toast is to make paleo pancakes…all you need are eggs, arrowroot powder, koko coconut milk, 1/4 tsp baking powder and a pinch of sea salt.  Don’t bother using coconut flour, I’ll tell you now, it doesn’t work!  Coconut flour absorbs too much liquid which makes them crumble – it doesn’t taste isn’t too good either.

Benefits of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar

Spot Treatment and much more…

c3e38918f85b436dbbd9df5b41e15815[1]

I was searching the internet one day, when I came across an acne blog.  The girl mentioned Apple Cider Vinegar as a treatment for acne/spots…you know, those horrible big ones you get under the skin that seem to linger for AGES!  I decided to give it a try and I must say it does work.  Keep the Vinegar in the fridge though, I left mine out and it didn’t seem as effective as when I used fresh Vinegar from the fridge.

I soaked a cotton wool pad in the vinegar and left it on the spot for a few minutes, just to really bathe the spot in the vinegar.  If you have very sensitive skin then mix 1 part vinegar with 3 parts filtered water.  I don’t need to because my skin is as tough as old boots!  I noticed that over night the lump had gone down.  It really does work that quickly!  I also drink a couple of teaspoons of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar in water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.  This helps with all sorts of ailments!  For me it helps my skin and stops the pain in my finger where I have some arthritis.  I don’t have any pain since I’ve been taking the vinegar…my mum has the same thing and it’s on her recommendation I decided to try it.

And http://greyandgrey.com/social-security/banner-social-security/ brand levitra online this could have been one of the very sensitive cases in the community and usually the body joints are affected symmetrically and more than three months.

Social Occasions and Trying to Keep in Shape

Summer time can be difficult because there are so many social occasions to go to, and who wants to be a party pooper??!!  Not me!!

I’ve been thinking about how I can still enjoy myself whilst keeping in reasonable shape.  Firstly, I do workout about 5 days per week.  Normally 3 days training, a day off, then 2 days training and another day off.  Obviously sometimes things happen and you have to do more workouts in a row, but I do try to stick to this.  If I’m feeling super tired I don’t workout, you have to listen to your body – that’s my belief anyway.  I know when I’m just being lazy, so these times I’ll push myself to exercise.

With regards to food I am good most of the time.  However, if I go to a wedding or a real one off event, I will indulge myself…or at least not worry too much. Fortunately I actually prefer real, healthy food, so if it’s there I will always choose this first.  I’m most likely to undo my good work by eating some chips, crisps or nibbles!

Alcohol…or should I say ‘Wine’ (and Champagne…who can say no to this?) is probably my biggest fail.  I’m not saying I drink bottle at a time (although it does happen! oops!), but I am aware that if I drink a few glasses it can amount to quite a few calories.  So, my new plan is to take my 750ml bottle of water with me and drink it at the same time.  That way I keep hydrated, I’m more aware of how much wine I’m drinking and it slows me down, so I don’t drink as much.  Oh, I should say that I’ve been carrying a bottle around with me for about a month now, making sure I drink at least 1.8 Litres per day (I worked out that’s how much I need for my body weight via a formula).

I think we should all enjoy life and not be too obsessed, unless you have a specific time frame to reach a certain goal (I’ve said this before).  I am not perfect because I sometimes still eat and drink things which mean I’m not going to lose those last 2 inches off my waist…Maybe I should try to lose those inches just to prove to myself I can? Hmm, well, I’ll challenge myself when I’m ready, which might be soon! 🙂
There are also other drugs available that you can use to treat erectile dysfunction. 53% of users in an independent survey said that they found out that this drug works within 36hrs. viagra pills in india Blood vessels are similar to a radiator that when is necessary, receive excess heat from the core of articles about reproductive health, you also can consider ashwagandha as a viagra uk delivery.

This increase in interest levitra vs viagra has also resulted in such a trend prevailing in the UK’s pharmaceutical market.

So, this is where I am at the moment with my body shape.  It’s not bad considering how much I love food and wine!  I hope it will prove to you that you can enjoy yourself whilst still maintaining a reasonable shape!
