I've realized that if I eat a lot of calories at breakfast, that sets me up for failure for the rest of the day. I used to eat from 500-600 calories at breakfast, because I've always heard it needs to be the biggest meal of the day, etc. While I agree that breakfast is important and you SHOULD eat breakfast, in my opinion, a breakfast of around 300 calories is perfect. For me, anyways. It will vary depending on whether you're male or female, your size, blah blah blah. But it gets my metabolism going, but doesn't make me want to eat other big meals the rest of the day. I'm addicted to the Jimmy Dean sausage and cheese omelets.
Om nom nom. They're 270 calories, and it's straight up protein, so you don't get hungry as quickly afterward as you would if you ate a bagel. Plus they're quick, which is a huge plus. Jimmy Dean should totally sponsor me.Anyways, I need to shoot up some caffeine and get my butt moving. I have to learn a whole new combat release before Monday, eeeekk! By the way, I saw an AWESOME bumper sticker the other day, and I totally want it. It made me giggle. Let it be your motivation for the day.
ah yes, from what i've learned in my experiences/studies, breakfast is definitely key. you don't want to overindulge, but you do want a metabolism kick in the ass. it will be burn because you're coming out of a slumber which didnt have any time to consume. it's all good because if you skip breakfast, you're body is going to think it's starving so by the time you do decide to eat, it will take in a bajillion more calories trying to store up incase you have to go without food again. but yeah, little snacks here and there. I also heard that caffeine boosts your metabolism... just be careful with sugar and creamers in coffees...
ReplyDeletestay in the fight. me and paloma are number watchin as well. stay motivated ^_^
Yay, Mike! It's so true. A lot of people don't know that, so they just think skipping breakfast saves them calories, but they're wrong. Thanks for the motivation! :D
ReplyDeleteSo, I had a fall off (big time)... a little sad I did nothing but eat pizza (medium cheese, thin crust, to myself) plus chicken finger bites and cheese bread... *sigh* I hopped on the scale this morning and I am at 223.5 (was 225 last post)... but I see that going up because of my gorging yesterday. Back on today. I have errands to run and doggies to walk.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for the motivation!
It's ok to mess up, as long as we get back on track :)
