Thanks for hosting the challenge and offering up your nuggets of wisdom! I look forward to a free training session with Krysta, so I will be watching for the feedback form. Happy Saturday!
An old friend of mine is a fitness model (and also a police officer and mother of two young kids). I don’t know how she does it, and I most definitely would NOT want her lifestyle. I can’t imagine the sacrifices she makes on a daily basis. As I approach my mid 40s, I am more of the mindset that I need to lose weight, eat healthier, and improve my cardio so I don’t end up with heart disease and diabetes. I willingly make *some* sacrifices (probably more than most people I know), but it can’t be all I think about and do.
I drink water during my workouts and at night (when I am not drinking Diet Coke), but unfortunately I can’t drink water during the work day because I can’t leave my class unattended to go use the washroom. One of the disadvantages of being a teacher of small children…
It’s easy to tell if I’ve overeaten because I end up feeling bloated or uncomfortable (usually when I’m at a restaurant). At home, I usually portion out the amount of food I think I need. I’ve been trying to wait a half hour to see if I’m still hungry before deciding to have more.
My stomach growls
when I’m hungry and my body feels weak, if I go too long without eating. My daughter and husband, on the other hand, claim to never “feel” hunger, so they rely on the clock to tell them when to eat.
Something that stuck with me was the fact that exercise positively affects long term memory. I wholeheartedly agree with Wendy Suzuki that aerobic exercise improves mental well-being. I always feel better after a workout, and when I go more than a day without exercise, I notice that it negatively affects my mood and motivation.

I actually prefer my BMI to my Dexa Scan results…haha…
(But, yes, I know that BMI is irrelevant).
I’m *allowed*, to have a water bottle, but I can’t leave to use the washroom, and I have a small bladder so it’s best not to drink anything at all.

For step 2, it’s supposed to say “saute” (not “sauce”). I don’t seem to have the ability to make edits to this post!
Done!
