Healthy Meal Ideas

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Many people assume that being healthy equals boring salads...<b>WRONG!</b> Being healthy is so exciting, there are endless variations of tasty, filling and nutritious meals out there. </span><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, i took some of my favourite meals and made them into this cute little collage.

Frustrated and Definitely Not Losing

The reality is that I haven't been able to get "back on the wagon".<br /><br />It's annoying, irritating, depressing and frustrating. <br /><br />Since giving birth, I've rejoined Weight Watchers, made a feeble attempt at Visalus Shakes, and almost started Plexus Slim (until I <a href="http://www.tga.gov.au/safety/alerts-medicine-plexus-slim-accelerator-capsules-130716.htm" target="_blank">read</a> about the dangers of certain ingredients that they use). <br /><br />The reality is that I'm still struggling with the same things I was before I got pregnant last year.  At first, it was the same old story - no planning/poor planning meant going over my daily points target every day.  But why am I doing this in the first place?  I simply hated planning my meals everyday.  I felt like I didn't have time because when I would plan the meals in advance (meaning not just the actual planning, but also pre-tracking), it would take me hours to do that.  I thought I had such few time then - ha!  Motherhood definitely nixed any free ounce of time I had!<br /><br />Then I thought if I had 2 less meals to plan each day, it'd be a lot easier (hence the Visalus approach).  And while those shakes are good, I was STARVING.<br /><br />I'm up.  I'm up in weight big time.  I'm still wearing some maternity pants.  It's depressing.<br /><br />But my motivation - it's no where to be found.  Why can't I get it together?  I don't like feeling like this - overweight.  So why can't I just face the music?<br /><br />I just don't know what to do anymore.  I'm so sick of the "tomorrow is a new day" or "I'll start tomorrow" - that whole concept - because it just doesn't happen.  I wake up expecting to feel energized, and I'm simply burned out on weight loss.<br /><br />I want to be healthy not only for myself, but for my daughter and husband.  I don't want the effects of obesity to kill me. <br /><br />I just don't know what to do or where to go from here.  I love the idea of Weight Watchers, but I'm almost burned out on it anymore. <br /><br />Gah!!!

I was at my fittest in 2012 because i had more time to focus on my fitness goals but now, i'm doing my A levels and juggling a whole load of things! Back in summer, i was a lot more toned and fit because i had more time...now? well as you can see, my abs aren't quite as toned and i've put on a bit of weight. I'm still working out and eating right, but certainly not to the level i was in summer. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So you could very much say, i've fallen off track! but i'm completely fine with this because i know within a few weeks i will be back on track if not better than i was before. I know i always bounce back, better than i was before...<b>Its not about how you fail, it's about how you pick yourself up from that failure and become stronger! </b></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Though you can't stay on track all the time, there are certain precautions you can put in place so that you stay on track for as long as possible: </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #1 - Always have a rest day.</b><br />You can't expect yourself to workout 7 days a week and actually its rather dangerous for your body. Give yourself a rest day or two a week, your body needs this time to recover. If you overwork yourself, either your body will let you down or your mind will. Let them rest! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #2 - Treat yourself. </b><br />Ooooooh this is my favourite tip! eating healthy is so important and i honestly enjoy eating healthy and clean but as well as looking after your body, you need to look after your soul! and if your soul wants some chocolate once in a while, then give it some! your progress will not be ruined, <b>its just all about moderation. </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #3 - Live YOUR healthy lifestyle.</b><br />Everyone is different. You can't expect yourself to have a training program and meal plan like Usain Bolt or Jessica Ennis! work to your ability and what works with YOUR life. Don't feel pressured to change or be someone you're not. For me, i constantly feel pressure to go Vegan or to hit the gym instead of the outdoor running and home workouts i love. But for now...those things just wouldn't make me happy, neither would they fit in with my lifestyle. If you've gone from no working out to even just 2 workouts a week, that's great for YOU. As long as you're healthier and happier than you were before...you're doing great.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #4 - Keep things exciting and challenge yourself.</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Don't stick to the same old routine and same old meals. Change things up every few weeks. Its very easy to get bored with your workouts and meals which can lead to going off track. Changing things up keeps things exciting! I remember when i first started my weight loss journey i was SO excited! To keep that excitement alive, i constantly changed my workouts and tried new healthy recipes. <b>A healthy lifestyle is like a relationship, to keep that love alive you've got to keep things fresh and new!</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #5 - Have Goals/dreams/aspirations...you get it. </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When i feel myself slipping, i always remind myself of where i want to be and who i want to be. This always gives me the kick up my bum i need! hahaa. If i'm not chasing my dreams, then i'm just dreaming. You have to get up and WORK for what you want. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, those are just my thoughts on staying on track. As i type this, my abs are on fire from my morning ab workout and already i'm feeling motivated. If you have any tips of your own, feel free to comment them below! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Stay healthy</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">x</span></div>

How to Stop Overeating

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Overeating was one of my biggest problems before i started my 50 pound weight loss journey. The thing is, i wasn't exactly eating the most unhealthy foods such as McDonalds, KFC, chocolate, donuts or whatever else. My problem was i was just eating TOO MUCH, especially certain food groups such as carbohydrates. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This was the first hurdle i overcame and trust me, it was NOT easy. Here are my top tips for avoiding overeating:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ol><li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Drink water-</b><br />I'm sure you've heard this before and if you haven't, you're hearing it now! Water is great for a lot of things. <b>Sometimes when we think we're hungry, we're actually thirsty! </b>So if you've just eaten yet you still feel hungry enough to eat more, Drink up! Make sure you have one glass before your meal, another during the meal and one after your meal. By the end you would have had three glasses of water to drink and you'll feel full!</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Snack-</b><br />That's right! you can snack but <b>it depends on what you're snacking on</b>. To avoid that feeling of uncontrollable hunger make sure you're snacking throughout the day on things like <b>fruit, veggies and nuts</b>.

Is Coffee Healthy?

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Growing up i hated the idea of coffee. I didn't understand why it was needed and feared it because of the age old myth that "It stunts your growth!" but as I grew up and life got a little more demanding, the need for coffee in my life increased. </span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />I'm not too sure how or when i started drinking coffee but i don't think i'll ever be able to quit it completely. I often worried whether coffee actually fit into my healthy lifestyle but after some research, i've decided there is no harm in drinking coffee! </span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>(Disclaimer- I am not saying you have to drink coffee! this is just for my fellow coffee lovers who may be having doubts) </i></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Moderation is Key</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just like with any other food or drink, you must have coffee in moderation. It is recommended to have no more than 3 cups a day. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>How to Prepare </b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Coffee is all natural which is great for clean eating! but you must be careful with the additional ingredients you put in. I personally prepare my coffee with a dash of skimmed milk or soy milk and Sweetener or Stevia. Try to avoid creamers and heaps of sugar!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><h3><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>The Health Benefits</b> </span></h3><div><ol><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsq-vWiqb4xj41ox4tgza4XY39K6pCkiNRq91OUi7W8wg2UY4PCdNwqFrvLdgb1tWreBGmQcBrCvSzZpSo_DH57WU-Vy4x7tDVFmyynln0n_0UJW90NhiDf4o8IXz7faN7o-i1fdrQY5ng/s1600/photo+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsq-vWiqb4xj41ox4tgza4XY39K6pCkiNRq91OUi7W8wg2UY4PCdNwqFrvLdgb1tWreBGmQcBrCvSzZpSo_DH57WU-Vy4x7tDVFmyynln0n_0UJW90NhiDf4o8IXz7faN7o-i1fdrQY5ng/s320/photo+(1).JPG" width="320" /></a><li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><u>Coffee can help burn fat-</u><br />Ever wondered why commercial fat burning supplements contain caffeine? well, due to caffeine's stimulant effect on the central nervous system, it raises your metabolism and increases the oxidation of fatty acids. <br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><u>Coffee can enhance your workout performance-</u><br />Again, caffeine is the one to thank here. Caffeine is a performance and endurance enhancer, it fights fatigue and also strengthens muscle contraction. And, probably the best of all, it reduces your perception of pain! so you wont feel that burn as harshly as usual in your workout.<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><u>Coffee can lessen your risk of Type 2 diabetes-</u><br />Type 2 diabetes was always one of my biggest fears. I knew being obese at 14 only meant i was on the fast track to getting many diseases and illnesses. Of course, the best way to reduce your risk is to live a healthy lifestyle! but its nice to know coffee helps by helping the body use insulin and protection insulin-producing cells, enabling regulation of blood sugar. </span></li></ol><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So those are the 3 main health benefits i found most interesting but there are many more, they contain many <b>antioxidants</b>, reduce the risk of some cancers and contrary to prior beliefs they <b>don't actually dehydrate!</b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><h3><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>The Cons</b></span></h3><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As biased as i am towards coffee, its only right that i also list the possible negative effects of coffee consumption. </span></div><div><ul><li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Irritability </span></li><li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nervousness </span></li><li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anxiety</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Insomnia</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Raised blood pressure </span></li></ul><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I must point out that these side effects only occur when coffee is consumed too much, so as i said earlier- <b>Moderation is key!</b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope this has helped any fellow coffee lovers and squashed any fears of our beloved beverage. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Stay healthy</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">x</span></div><div><br /></div>

How to Count Calories

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Before i started my weight loss journey, i had no idea what calories were, they were an absolute mystery to me! But now, i am far more familiar with them. Maybe too familiar. I should point out that you DO NOT have to count calories to be healthy, it is not a must. Though i counted calories throughout my weight loss, i very rarely count calories now as i feel more comfortable with just opting for healthier options, so don't feel pressured into counting calories at all! And if you chose to count calories, please don't get obsessed with numbers- calories are just guidelines. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbh4flIaVhr7BBrMIThfRIp_wvoE8-l990OHPEP30vQvY-mtLQi58mSqFG7V_C6ln_kw_AZI3kY2aWlfPL15hoHcUCCNbs2cqqwgDUuyuuoc2RAEbO5f54CGkiXK7MSgi0Ua-mADr8UVG3/s1600/blog+breaker.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="44" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbh4flIaVhr7BBrMIThfRIp_wvoE8-l990OHPEP30vQvY-mtLQi58mSqFG7V_C6ln_kw_AZI3kY2aWlfPL15hoHcUCCNbs2cqqwgDUuyuuoc2RAEbO5f54CGkiXK7MSgi0Ua-mADr8UVG3/s320/blog+breaker.png" width="320" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><h3><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>What are calories? </b></span></h3><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A calorie is a unit of energy.<br />Our bodies NEED energy and we acquire this energy through food and drink.<br />So the number of calories food or drink contain, tell us how much potential energy they contain. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><h3><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>How many calories do you need?</b></span></h3><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now this is the important part. Everyone is different. That means we all require different amounts of calories. You have to take into account a lot of different factors: Physical activity, age, sex, gender and shape in order to figure out how much energy your body requires. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So to figure out how many calories you need to maintain/lose/gain weight, you must first calculate your BMR.

Today's Ab Workout

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Strangely, i love the burn you get in your abs from a good ab workout but admittedly, i've been neglecting my abs for a while now. I go through stages where i work super hard to get my abs toned and then when i see the results, i get too comfortable and let it go again. Which is terrible! </span><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, i'm back on it! I'm aiming to do an ab workout every morning before i head out to college (No, that's not Uni!) That's the beauty of ab workouts, they don't have to last longer than 10 minutes! They're super quick but intense. Of course, you must remember <b>ABS ARE MADE IN THE KITCHEN.</b> So if you're not eating right, you simply wont see the results. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><u>This is the Ab workout i did today: </u></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg35lFHiOU2ytX2pKH8cZJdIFJ2QhnL1Ve2Drc-wsWrLax-lGw7EQ2tnnut4zX2wo81evkHjgAV29tkr7e_15fPJm8qXHNc1e6Kv6_-7drhVgFfVbQtRoEslbZILHcj-azTneglD6ELbHyx/s1600/Abs+of+the+day.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg35lFHiOU2ytX2pKH8cZJdIFJ2QhnL1Ve2Drc-wsWrLax-lGw7EQ2tnnut4zX2wo81evkHjgAV29tkr7e_15fPJm8qXHNc1e6Kv6_-7drhVgFfVbQtRoEslbZILHcj-azTneglD6ELbHyx/s640/Abs+of+the+day.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Do each move for 1 minute. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is one of my favourites because though core strength is key, your entire body is being worked!

Perfect. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You can do this workout along with me! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="266" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OetyOn6WtVA?feature=player_embedded" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="320"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Stay healthy</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">x</span></div><div><br /></div>
