I was trying to come up with a top ten things I love nutrition/wellness wise that would get you through the day until your "Valentine's Day Sucks!" party. So here we go:
- Coffee, this is my number one. Yes, I get an appropriate amount of sleep but work makes me tired, but coffee reduces the incidence of Diabetes, is a source of antioxidants, has 1-2 g of heart healthy soluble fiber, improves fat burning, and reduces your chances of Alzheimer's. Thanks a latte!
- Eggs. I either eat eggs or egg whites 4 times a week for breakfast. The premiere source of protein, and eye healthy nutrients (lutein, zeathanin to be exact) and a cool 70 Calories, this keeps you full and on the move.
- Yoga. Typically I hate slow moving, boring, self-reflection. No I don't want to journal about my feelings, I prefer to man up and just 'keep calm and carry on' periodically. It's nice to have a happy place that will keep my spine/chiropractor happy and where I can work on not thinking.
- The internet. Yes, the cliche hub of all my health blogs I read, some I love and some just annoy me (hey if you want to get up at 4:30 AM to go to the track and run 18 miles of track repeats...then play with your kids...good for you. It makes me feel crappy in comparison.)
- Spinning. Yes, I'm back on the bike. I wanted to train and ride in Pelotonia, but then I saw how much you have to fund raise. I figured I'd rather donate to help someone else's cancer fighting cause and keep on running for whatever cause I'm determined to save this week.
- Box jumps. Yes, sounds weird but when you're not the most athletically coordinated person (I managed alright in soccer for 18 years), or the fastest, I have found the ability to jump the highest.
- TV marathons of Moonshiners. Deep, dumb, poetic, and illegal.
- Polar Heart Rate monitor. Did you really burn off that extra large/extra cheese pizza from last night?
