75% food, 20% working out, 5% water...the way I see it.

It's alllll about the food...it's what I put into my body that matters most. Read Here  about what I typically eat in a day. It's the types of food that i am eating, the amount I am eating, and when I am eating that matters the most.

I stick with natural organic fruits blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries...and veggies....kale, spinach, broccoli, sweet potatoes, arugula. Whole grains breads...ezekial is my fav. Once I tried it I never went back! Cheeses and yogurts with some fat. Eggs, tuna. Olive and Grapeseed oils. Organic raw walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and cashews. Almond milk. Organic peanut butter. Kerrygold butter. 

I eat like a King for breakfast, a Queen for lunch, and a peasant at dinner. Meaning I taper off my calories thruout the day...breakfast is always always always my largest most caloric meal of the day! Always! Lunch is smaller than breakfast, and dinner is the smallest of all. Yes, it goes against what my parents taught me. Quite the opposite actually. I eat between 1200-1350 calories per day.

Working out...it's all about consistency. Just doing it. Stopping the excuses. 5/6x a week. Burning calories. Sweating. Lifting. Strength training. Going to the gym. Making the time. Knowing how important it is for my heart health. Overall health. Mental health. To make time for myself. To be the best mommy I can be. Making me a better wife. A happier person. Moving my  body. It always thanks me. 

Lastly the all important water. Drink up. Plain ole tap water. 100 ounces per day. More if I'm doing cardio. I don't drink soda, tea or any alcohol. Just H20. That's all I need.
