Love Those killer workouts? But Do you know When To Go Hard and When To Go Home?

             WHEN TO CONTINUE TO GO HARD 

                             AND 

                     WHEN TO GO HOME

Good morning my beautiful people! I am on day 3 of the 21 Day Fix Extreme and I've yet to be able to do a workout. I've had bronchitis for the last 12 days, so I haven't been able to workout, but today I'm feeling better and I think I'm gonna give it a try. If I survive I'll let you know how it

NEED SUPPORT LET'S TALK

went, if I don't it was nice knowing you, lol.

Part of losing weight and getting fit is knowing when to push your body and when to lay off. You have to ask yourself when the workouts are getting tough and you "feel" like you're going to die "Am I feeling this way because I'm so out of shape and this is something new and challenging for my body?" OR "Is this a legit distress and I need to back off or stop, so I don't get hurt or injured?" You know you and you know if you're just being a weenie and not wanting to push yourself to finish or even start the workout, because "I'm to sore from yesterdays workout". On the same coin you know if you're being stubborn and pushing threw the pain just so you can say you finished.

Peeps, it's important to push yourself to SHOW UP everyday for your workout. And when you show up you give it all you got and leave it all on the workout floor. It's okay to modify the moves if you can't do them, just try to keep in time with the class and do a move that works the same body part/muscle group as the move you are modifying. But it is not alright to half ass it because "it's just to hard", NO ONE told you this was going to be easy. WORKING OUT, LOSING WEIGHT, GETTING FIT IS HARD. BEING OVER WEIGHT & MORBIDLY OBESE IS HARD. PICK YOUR HARD!

But don't be stubborn and keep pushing yourself when you know the pain you are feel is not a normal pain. You've been hauling that extra weight around for sometime now, so you know your aches and pains and the ones that come with activity and when there is a different pain DO NOT IGNORE IT! You can do permanent damage where you might not every be able to workout again or even walk. It all depends on where or what type of pain we are talking about here are just a few examples:

• Chest Pain-Discomfort in the chest including a dull ache, a crushing or burning feeling, a sharp stabbing pain, and pain that radiates to the neck or shoulder. (Yes, it can be from heavy lifting and weight lifting, but it can be the signs of an Heart attack too!) For the SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF A HEART ATTACK  CLICK HERE.
• Knee Pain-Pain in or around the knee that may indicate a condition affecting the knee joint itself or the soft tissue around the knee. (causes that are due to underlying disease:heavy physical activity, lack of use, injuries such as sprains or strains.) For more on knee pain and treatments click HERE.

• Shortness of Air or Difficulty Breathing- It's kind of self explanatory(causes that aren't due to underlying disease:exercise, tight clothing, a sedentary lifestyle).

       BLACK BEAN,EGG, & CANADIAN BACON

•  If you're like me trying to come up with new ideas for breakfast that are tasty, yet still low calorie and healthy, is really hard sometimes.

• I came across this recipe the other day and I tweaked it a little to fit my taste better, but you might enjoy it just the way it is, so I gave you both versions. Let me know what you think!!
• 
  
• QUICK & EASY BREAKFAST<500 CALORIES
•      Black beans, Canadian Bacon, and Eggs!

• Prep Time: 5 minutes 
• Cook Time: 7 minutes 
• Total Time: 12 minutes 
• Servings: 2 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 can (15 oz) black beans
• 3 tsp hot sauce
• 2 tsp all natural organic butter
• 4 slices Canadian bacon
• 2 slices Ezekiel bread 
• 4 eggs large eggs
• Freshly ground pepper 

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix beans and sauce in microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Set aside. (What I do is put the beans and hot sauce in a mini food processor and kinda make like my own version of "re-fried" beans, but they are not fried or re=fried, lol. I have issues with textures and I don't like beans just out of a can warmed up the texture is weird???)
2. Heat large skillet over medium heat and add bacon. Cook for 1 minute on each side until browned. 
3. Toast bread and arrange on 2 serving plates. (I butter each slice with a tsp of all natural-organic butter)
4. Place 2 slices of bacon on each slice of toast. Top each with a portion of bean mixture, dividing beans evenly between 2 plates. (I dice eat slice of bacon up then wait for it, wait for it...)
5. Add olive oil to same skillet and carefully crack eggs into skillet, placing eggs next to each other. Once egg whites turn opaque, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 4-6 minutes. 
6. Using spatula, carefully remove each egg from skillet. Top each serving of toast with 1 egg. 
7. Serve immediately. Add optional toppings, if desired.

I prefer to divide the Mushed-up beans between 2 Ramekins then add 1 fried egg next the diced ham and last the second egg and top with red pepper or more hot sauce (cheese is good too, but I don't want to waste the calories;) You can also add vegetables in with the layers and salsa is #awesome layered in with this dish. Serve with your Ezekiel bread toasted and buttered with 1 tsp of butter all for dipping in your yummy dish.

4 Possible Reasons Why You're Not Losing Weight On Your Healthy Diet

          4 Possible Reasons Why You're Not

          Losing Weight On Your Healthy Diet

Nothing. I say, nothing is more frustrating then bust your ass all week long sticking to your diet and working out like a champ then hopping on the scale on Monday morning and not losing a freakin pound one or worse gaining a pound or two. AGHHH!!!! WTH?

www.Facebook.com/Lorislosingit

 "How is that even possible I starved myself all week?" Well, that is actually the first possible reason why you're not losing weight on your healthy diet.

  #1 You are not eating enough Say what? I know, just hear me out. We all know it is calories in verses calories out, so you have to be eating at a deficit, but when we take that deficit to low our bodies think that we are trying to starve it to death, so it goes it to survival mode and starts storing fat for the long haul. Our bodies need food for fuel, so you have to eat healthy, nutritionally dense foods in the right amount in order to lose weight.

Which brings us to point number 2-Eating foods in the right combination

Portion Fix
Is a Meal Plan that teaches you how to
eat the right foods, in the right portions.

There are many diets that tell you to eat only carbs or to eat only proteins, but you should never exclude any food group from your diet. Why? Because you can not maintain that long term (are you really never going to eat another piece of bread for the rest of your life, really?) and when you start eating whatever it is that you cut out of your diet for all those months when you were losing weight guess what happens??? Yep, you gain the weight back( and usually you gain back more, just to let you know). 

Half of your plate at each meal should be veggies/fruits the other half should have some protein,healthy fats, and carbs. Try eating your carbs with your early morning and afternoon meals, so you get the fuel you need for the day. And at nighttime and dinner time consume more protein, so you stay full through out the night and your muscles have fuel to help them heal from your killer workouts during the day.

I know you don't want to hear this one, but point #3 Are You Drinking Enough Water?

Yes, the dreaded water, the 8-10 glasses of water per day, well actually your water requirement for weight loss is half of your body weight in ounces. So, if you weigh 150 lbs then you divide that by 2=75, which means you need to drink 75 ounces of water per day  (8 ounces=1 glass). Why do you need to drink all that freaking water?

• Water keeps you from being dehydrated, if you are dehydrated your body stores what water it has so you retain water, which makes you weigh more. Also when you are dehydrated your kidneys can't function properly, so they ask their friend the liver to help them out. The liver is suppose to be working on breaking down the fat in your body, but now it has to store the fat so it can help out the kidneys, get it?
• Water helps to remove waste from the body. All that awesomely healthy fiber you've been eating just sits in your gut, if it doesn't have water to wash it out of your system. So, basically your pipes get clogged up and water is the "Mr. Plumper" of your digestive system. For more on how water helps with weight loss check out this article Water and Weight loss. 

Checkout my post on Hydration & Weight loss

Lastly and point #4 Are You Eating From the Top of Your Food List?

Most of us who are on any type of diet or healthy eating plan have a meal plan, diet exchange list, or something similar that shows us a list of what foods we can eat from each food category. Most of the list are in a hierarchy with the healthiest (lowest in calorie/highest in nutritional value) foods at the top of the list and the foods that are not as health (higher in calories/lower in nutritional value) at the bottom of the list. If you are frequently choosing foods from the bottom of the list then technically you are stay in the guidelines of your plan, but you may not be getting the nutrition your body needs and therefore you're not getting the results that you are looking for. So, try picking foods from the top of the list and limit eating foods from the lower half of the list and see if that helps.

You're probably not going to like this suggestion, but try tracking what you are eating and DRINKING for a few days, a week if you can or will you just might find you are eating a lot more calories then you thought you were or particularly DRINKING a lot more calories. It is very easy to consume a large amount of calories, and not even realize it, by drinking. How? Adding fruit juice to your water to give it flavor, mixing your healthy nutrition shakes with fruit juice, whole milk, almond milk, drinking fruit juice instead of eating your fruit options and then drinking alcohol. Alcohol is bad on 2 fronts: 1. It lowers your inhibitions so you tend to drink more 2. It is high in calories with no nutritional value.

Infuse Your Water with Fruity Flavor and Kick the Sodas to the Curb

    It's time to rethink what you're drinking and kick those sugar filled drinks to the curb!

 Water all the way baby, it is your life force, the fountain of youth and health. Did you know that over 60% of the human body is water? Water serves as lubricant for just about every bodily function, all the way down to your cells. Water helps to flush the toxins out of your body, it helps deliver nutrients, and it helps you feel full longer and when you're trying to lose weight that is uber important, right? Staying hydrated is especially important when you are working out hard. Check out my blog post on How to Tell if You Are Dehydrated.

Want to learn about clean eating then try out the 21 Day Fix. I lost 45 lbs with this program, so I am living proof that it works.

                

Most of us when we decide to lose weight we change from our sugar filled soft drinks and juices to diet soda, but more and more research is showing that diet soft drinks are just as bad for you as regular soft drinks just for different reasons and that the diet sodas actually cause weight gain, instead of helping you to lose weight(Diet sodas and Weight Gain).

 With all this in mind it is time to start drinking up the water and kick those sugar filled drinks to the curb. But water can be rather boring, especially to those of us who don't particularly love the taste of water. So, here are some yummy recipes to help you liven up the flavor of your water by adding flavor without adding a bunch of calories or sugar. BOTTOMS UP!

                   FRUIT AND HERB INFUSED WATER

         Servings: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

• fruit -- 2 cups berries, citrus, melons, pineapple...most fruits will work (see recommended amounts in directions)
• herbs -- a sprig of mint, basil, sage, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, or lavender
• water (tap or filtered)
• ice

Directions

Supplies needed: 2 quart pitcher or jar with lid; muddler or wooden spoon

General formula for whatever fruit/herb combo you desire.
1. If using herbs, add a sprig of fresh herbs to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden spoon to bruise leaves and release flavor; don't pulverize the herbs into bits.
2. Add approx. 2 cups of fruit to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden spoon, just enough to release some of the juices
3. Fill jar/pitcher with ice cubes.
4. Add water to top of jar/pitcher.
5. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Suggested flavor combinations:
ALL CITRUS (no herbs) --  Slice 1 orange, 1 lime, 1 lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds in half. Add to jar and proceed with muddling, add ice & water.
RASPBERRY LIME (no herbs)  -- Quarter 2 limes; with your hands, squeeze the juice into the jar, then throw in the squeezed lime quarters. Add 2 cups raspberries. Muddle, add ice & water.
PINEAPPLE MINT -- Add a sprig of mint to the jar (you can throw in the whole sprig; or, remove the leaves from the sprig, if you prefer to have the mint swimming around and distributing in the jar). Muddle the mint. Add 2 cups pineapple pieces, muddle, add ice & water.
BLACKBERRY SAGE -- Add sage sprig to jar and muddle. Add 2 cups blackberries; muddle, add ice & water.

The Number One Dieting Mistake That is Ruining Your Weight Loss Efforts

                        SACK THE SCALE

How many times have you gotten up in the morning feeling good, you're upbeat and happy, ready to take on the day then you go to the bathroom to do your morning routine, which includes stepping on the scale, and when you see the number on the scale isn't the number you were wanting all that happy goodness is knocked right out of you? Does this ever happen to you?

LET'S TALK

You know that you were good all week long when it comes to your dieting efforts. You made healthy choices with your foods, you stayed with in your calories, containers, points, whatever limits and didn't over indulge. You worked out everyday and you gave it your all during workouts there was nothing left in the tank when you were done-BAM YOU KILLED THOSE WORKOUTS!

So, WTH?! Now that you see that number on the scale and you know the work that you did last week, now you want to give up. Why, sacrifice eating all that delicious food while everyone else is enjoying it, if this is the results you're going to get, right? WRONG!

Many, many times it will take a while before all our hard work shows up on the scale and even when it does it might not be the number we are looking for, because losing weight and getting healthy is more than a number on a scale.  You can't let the number on the scale mess with your mind, your confidence. Don't let a number on a scale defeat you and take away your hope of having a healthy, active life of abundance.

You have to have NON-SCALE VICTORIES. Non-scale victories are other ways of judging how effective your dieting and weight loss efforts are and really we aren't dieting we are making lifestyle changes, because these eating habits are going to be permanent changes not just quick fixes to get immediate results. We want permanent results, right?

So, many factors effect the number on the scale that make it a poor way to judge how well your weight loss and fitness program is working. 

For example:

• Did you drink a large amount of water before bedtime?
• Are you constipated?
• Did you eat a large amount of salt/sodium yesterday?
• Are you weighing at the same time everyday?
• Are you wearing the same clothes?
• Are you doing a fitness program that is geared towards building muscle? (Muscle weighs more than fat, so you may be losing fat but gaining muscle, which keeps the number on the scale from changing).

All these things make using the scale a bad way of judging your weight loss success. Instead, try using some of the things listed above to measure your success. The whole point of losing weight and getting fit is so you feel better and can live a healthy, active and independent life until the day you die. Yes, you want to look good too and you will when these non-scale victories are accomplished. With these victories your confidence will grow and the way you present yourself and treat your appearance will change too and that my friend is beautiful. 

If you're struggling to lose weight and get fit or you just want to get healthy then let me tell you all the ways that I can help. Fill out this application and I'll get back with you ASAP. Losing weight can be a struggle, but you don't have to do it alone. I'm here to help. What are you waiting for?

10 Disturbing Reasons Why Sugar is Bad For You

           10 REASONS WHY SUGAR IS BAD FOR YOU

I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times that sugar (white) is bad for you but let me just go over a few of the reasons why it is so unhealthy and why me and my challengers gave it up for 5 days.

1. Sugar has no nutrients and it is bad for your teeth. Added sugar (like sucrose and high fructose corn syrup) contain a whole bunch of calories with NO essential nutrients. That's called "empty" calories.

2. Added Sugar is high in Fructose, which can overload your liver. 

3. Overloading the Liver with fructose can cause Non-Alcoholic Liver Disease. Basically excess fructose gets turned into fat, which can lodge in the liver and cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

4. Sugar can cause Insulin Resistance, a stepping Stone towards Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes. Our bodies produce insulin in response to glucose and when we eat high levels of glucose it becomes toxic to our bodies and our bodies become "resistant" to the glucose and stop making the insulin. Insulin resistance leads to many disease, such as, metabolic syndrome, obesity, cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes.

5. The Insulin Resistance Can Progress to Type II Diabetes

6.Sugar Can lead to Cancer

Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled growth of cells and Insulin is one of the key hormones in regulating this sort of growth.

7. Due to its Effects on Hormones and the Brain, Sugar has Unique Fat-Promoting Effects

Basically not all calories are created equal. A study shows that when people drink glucose sweetened drinks vs people who drank drinks sweetened with fructose the people who drank glucose stayed satisfied longer. People who drank fructose were drinking again immediately, thus consuming more calories.

8. Because it causes massive Dopamine release in the brain, sugar is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE! DUH Right? Like abusive drugs, sugar causes a release of dopamine in the reward center of the brain. "The everything in moderation message may be a bad idea for people who are ADDICTED to junk food...because the ONLY THING that works for true addiction is abstinence." HELLO WHAT HAS LORI BEEN SAYING?

9. Sugar is a leading contributor to obesity in both children and adults

10. It ain't the Fat...It's Sugar that raises your cholesterol and gives you Heart Disease. Heart disease is the #1 Killer in the world and saturated fat has been blamed for years for causing it, but recent studies show that the harmful effects of fructose on metabolism maybe a bigger factor.
