So I'm back from Mexico....and I went a little nuts on the buffet. You know the saying "you gotta get your money worth". We went for an all inclusive option, and the food was really fabulous. It was a bit hard to control myself. I fell in love with the Apple pie, It wasn't even apple pie, it was better!! It was a flaky soft danish type crust with warm sliced apples and vanilla ice cream on top melting all over it!.....LOL OK I will stop. I'm sure your keyboard has drool all over it now. At least you can feel for me now.
I'm feeling a bit bloated from all the over eating lets just say.
I'm definitely going for the one thing that has always come to my rescue. That is GREEN TEA.
I am also training for a marathon. I have never done one before but figured its a great way to push yourself. Its motivating to have a goal to work up too. If cardio isn't your thing this will definitely help get you on the treadmill or running outside.
With some great music in your IPod you can really getting into running or jogging. its actually a surprisingly freeing exercise. The great thing about cardio is that even if your not noticing result with weightless, you are most importantly going to get results with your heart. After all the health of your heart is most important!

Don't Believe the Hype!
Something is bothering me out there....
All this hype about weight loss products. "try our special cleansing tea" or "Weight loss pills" or "vitamins that help you lose weight".
Let me tell you, DONT BUY THIS STUFF!! You are wasting your money. Being slim and fit, shouldn't cost you anything more than regular living. In-fact should and could possibly cost even less!
If you want to so called "cleanse yourself" Drink WATER! I mean carry a water bottle around with you everywhere you go and drink 5 full water bottles! Drink Green tea. In fact even drinking black tea will help cleanse you, but of course with no sugar in it. EAT YOU VEGGIES. natural raw foods help you lose weight by regulating your metabolism. You should be intaking enough fiber daily to keep you regular. Also drinking water will help with that too. You should honestly be going #2 when you wake up or very close to that time, every single day, the green tea I promise will help with that. LOL
So don't buy into this Herbal Life stuff, or whatever else is out there trying to rip you off. Promise me, you can do without these products.
If you honestly would like something to boost your metabolism in a pill form the only thing that is going to work are Wake up pills and Ephedren with ASA. BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS. AND if you stop taking them you will lose your natural metabolism and even put on more weight than before!
it is best to train your body the natural way. Give yourself love :) and healthy food, exercise and plenty of water.

Secrets to Maintaining a GREAT METABOLISM!
My body has not changed shape since I was a teenager. I have always weighed withing 2-3 pounds the exact same weight all my adult life. I am only 27, but yet still I do not to very much to maintain my weight, and most would say that your metabolism starts to go around 25.
I don't really believe that so much. I do think as you get older it is going to be harder to gain muscle weight, and maybe if you gain some, it may be a bit harder as you get older to take it off again. But I think as long as you stay consistent with things you wont ever have to worry.
SLEEP- Sleep is extremely important. Your body needs plenty to be functioning at its ultimate level. You should be getting at least 8 full hours every night. When you don't get enough sleep your body begins to stress. Therefore it is not going to burn as many calories, as well as it is going to crave different foods that give it a quick boost of energy like sugar. Making it harder to stay on a healthy meal plan.
Also as you sleep believe it or not you are burning calories. Your actually burning a lot! For every hour of sleep your burning approximately 50-55 calories. So in eight hours you would burn up to 440 calories!
Also DO NOT skip BREAKFAST! Sooo many people believe that they will loose more weight by not eating as much. This isnt really true. You are teaching your body to store fat. it thinks its in starvation mode and so when you do eat it is going to want to store that food, and not burn it up. Also by skipping breakfast you will have much less energy and therefore not burn as many calories. I have always eaten breakfast. I make sure to have something healthy. I choose to eat cereals with low sugar, or none at all. Add a banana for natural sweetness, or even some raisins, or dried cranberries. And I always pair it with Green tea! But remember to also hydrate yourself, as the green tea will dehydrate you.
