Day 10

Well hello there August 23rd, better known as "Day 10".  Things are feeling good on this fine day.  I may have worked twenty four hours this weekend, but I was surely kept busy.  I feel muscles I did not even know I had.  While I did not do my abdominal workout this weekend I think it was totally compensated with all the physical labor I was able to put in.  Today despite the fact that every muscle in my body is sore, I knew I could not go another day skipping my abdominal workout.  Well I made it through and am feeling good after that.

While talking with a coworker today she informed me that she does not eat breakfast, she really never has.  I began wondering how many people skip this important meal and what the real skinny was on its benefits.

~Eating breakfast can help you make healthier food choices.  Those who eat breakfast tend to maintain a lower fat and more nutritious diet.  I can attest to the fact that when I eat breakfast I am less likely to eyeball that vending machine midmorning.

~Breakfast boosts your physical activity.  I don't know about you but I would prefer to be healthy and active then a couch potato.

~You are more likely to maintain a healthy weight if you do eat some grub in the morning.  Your body wants to fuel up, skipping breakfast can help you keep fat stored, not burned.

I am a skipping breakfast convert.  I used to use all the excuses too, I didn't have time, I wasn't a breakfast person, missing those calories in the morning wouldn't hurt.  I have to tell you that after a week of eating breakfast (a healthy breakfast not one laden in fat and grease, lol) I really did feel better.  Instead of having a midmorning crash, I had pep in my step.  Try it for a week, see how you feel, I am certain you will see a difference.  You wouldn't drive your car around on empty so why start your body off on empty?
