The Holistic PCOS Chick

The simple rule for millions of years has been to eat to survive, but our modern lifestyle seems to have it flipped. Now, with obesity rates on the rise and affecting more than one-third of Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it seems humans survive so they can eat. "What we should eat", has been debated as diet recommendations have changed over the decades from fat free to high protein to low carb. As has the simplest of factors — how much we should eat — with calories occupying the central role. But what about when ? If your goal is weight loss, should you eat throughout the day or is there value in reserving meal times for certain segments of the day? It turns out that answer is personal. “The recommendations for eating patterns (including the number of times you eat throughout the day as well as when you eat) needs to be approached on an individual basis taking individual goals into consideration,” says Jessica Bachm...

Had a great workout today? Feeling like the extra pounds are finally coming off? Perfect! But that rigorous exercise probably made you hungry enough to eat your entire refrigerator! So, what did you do? Did you reach for the first thing you saw in the pantry or fridge? Did you carefully plan out what you were going to eat? Chances are you may have chosen the wrong post workout snack. Eating after your workout is as equally important as fueling up before hand, but you don’t want to reach for just anything! What you put into your body after you workout has a major effect on your weight loss goals! If you’re eating the wrong foods post workout, you’ll be sure to cancel out all of the work you just put in exercising! After that tough workout, be sure to avoid these foods after your sweat session! ·          Raw Veggies : Raw vegetables are among the healthiest and most nutritious foods you can eat, they aren’t exactly the rig...

My daughter is 3 1/2 months old has been very interested in my Shakeology! When she gets her bottle, I typically have my shake too. She was more interested in Mommy's bottle then her own! This is what happened when I handed her my cup. She definitely knows the good stuff when she sees it!

Day 3 was supposed to be yesterday, but I was totally exhausted! The baby was not sleeping well and so I was trying to catch zzzz's were I could. I decided not to stress my body anymore then it already was, so I traded my rest and day 3 workout day. Today was a good day. Longer program, but that meant it was easier for me to follow and get the moves down better. I am really enjoying the trainers! Loads of fun and love their accents too! Check out my quick video for more info.

I know in my previous blog I was going to walk and do yoga. But I just have not been able to get out of the house, since it has been super HOT and HUMID here in Tennessee! The baby gets really hot and sweaty in her stroller, and if I go out at night we get eaten alive by mosquitoes. YIKES! I have been chomping at the bit to try Lem Mills Combat, so I decided to DO IT!! I figure I can modify as necessary and slow things down, so that I don't compromise my milk supply (still breastfeeding). It will be interesting to see what happens. Day 1... I put disk #1 in to find out it was unreadable!! Grrrr... I called Coach Relations and their service is always great!! Whenever you buy straight from Beachbody they back everything, so I am getting my disk replaced for FREE!! In the mean time I am using some other disks that came in the set. I went ahead and started with Combat Live 30. I enjoyed it, and it was easy to modify so that I didn't over due it. Can't get too crazy or I wil...
