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?
