One avocado a day, keeps the doctor away!

Have you ever felt tired of that weight loss diet? Have you felt like you just want to go and grab a burger or an ice cream?
Well, we all have our bad diet moments. But there is a cure and its called avocado.

Next time you are hankering for some high fat food try an avocado. The rich in healthy fats texture will satisfy immediately your cravings.
Maybe you are wondering how can avocado be good for your weight loss if it contains fat?!

Contrary to popular assumptions, avocado is beneficial for a healthy weight-loss. The monounsaturated fat in avocado speeds up the metabolism. The high fat yet healthy content in avocado gives a feeling of fullness and reduces the temptation for sugar and saturated fats.

What is more important, it protects us from cholesterol related heart diseases and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. This miracle food is also used for prevention of prostate and breast cancer.

No wonder, avocado is considered to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet.
Or as some say” One avocado a day, keeps the doctor away”

Be careful when power walking!

Went for a power walk this morning and came back with a skinned knee and a busted ego.

So be careful and take it slow!

Weight Loss Tip of the day!

Housework= Workout

Cleaning the house is a great way to burn calories. So turn on your favorite music and get moving. Hovering, washing windows, mopping the floor, dusting –all counts. You will burn around 200 calories for an hour.

Jogging in the winter

Just came back from jogging. My goal is to run the half marathon in September. Would be much easier if it wasn’t -5 outside.
Freezing!!!

So I would like to share with you some tips for jogging in the winter:

· Dress in layers : try to avoid cotton and choose breathable material .
· Wear gloves and a hat: About 40% of our body heat is lost through the head.
· Be careful : During the winter the risk are greater. Warm up slowly and take it easy while running.
· Choose good running shoes

Your workout and your personality

Finding a workout that fits my personality has turned me into a healthier and stronger person.

Making exercise a priority is often very hard for most of us. Before I could always find an excuse not to workout.

Doing the right exercise doesn’t make me feel like I am loosing my time. Just the opposite!

If you feel discouraged by your present workout routine than you definitely need a change.

My tips:

Go and try out different courses. One day you go dancing, next day spinning or why not swimming.
By the end of the month you will find the exercise that is right for you.
I can proudly say I found mine. As surprising as it may sound it is Karate. You should go and try it. Its tons of fun.

Some of the benefits of me training regularly are:
-More energy
-Better overall health
-Less stress and depression
-Better shape
-Higher confidence

So if you want to achieve maximum results, go out there and find your workout!
