Breakfast---and a challenge

So I missed an entry yesterday, oops haha.  So yesterday I just did basic walking for my workout.  Today I was at the gym with Dan (my trainer).  We did a little bit of everything today, warm-up, squats, one legged squats, push ups, lat pulls, resistance cords stuff, backwards crunches, step ups, and cool down.  It definitely felt good, of course my legs are very sore from all the squats lol.  Dan says my strength, and stamina are seriously improving, and my back is getting a lot better.  Although he gave me the goal of 10lbs down by the end of June...if that's the case I'll definitely lose what I wanted by the beginning of August.  He thinks I can probably blow the 10 out of the water though, so lets hope :)

So "tip" for the day-  Who hasn't heard the cliche "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day."  uugghh I hated hearing that, I always hated eating breakfast.  But here's the thing, breakfast gets your metabolism going.  It helps give you energy after you've been sleeping/resting and gives you the energy you need to get through the day (including work outs!!!)  In my attempts to getting on an eating schedule, my first step is breakfast.  I have definitely noticed an increase in energy on the days that I eat breakfast.  It may not seem like a big deal, but just grabbing a banana on your way out the door will make the rest of your day a lot better.


So here it is-my challenge for all you to work on this week- get up and move!  When I first was meeting with my trainer, before we did any workouts and just had check ins, that was my goal.  To do SOMETHING everyday, and then increase that something slowly.  Even if you start at just 5min.  If that's 5min more than what you do now, then that's the start you need.  If you already do 20min a day, go for 25 min.  So just get up and start moving, and if you already move, move just a little bit more!  I'd love to hear how it goes for everyone!  We're all in this together!!! :)
