Workin’ it Wednesday: Good Eatin’

June 11, 2014 by Tamara

Happy Wednesday to you all! ๐Ÿ™‚
Today I am linking up with my buddy Corinna from Surfin’ Through Second.
This linky is all about getting in shape and staying fit!
A few months ago, my doctor told me that I needed to work on that somewhat, so, now that I’m off of school…
I am committing to a few things this summer.
This one is tough…but I’ve done it in the past, and it really did help me regulate my weight.
I was also hungry when I woke up and ate better in the morning and afternoon…which kept what I ate for dinner smaller.
I love a good salad in the summer!  Don’t you?
I like to add lots of fresh veggies to mine!  Especially if I don’t put any meat on my salad.
I try to get lettuce that has flavor.  Iceberg is really NOT the way to go if you’re going to try to eat a salad every day.  It tastes like nothing. ๐Ÿ™
I don’t know about you, but I love crunchy bits in a salad! ๐Ÿ™‚  Since I’m iron deficient, I’ve taken to putting pine nuts in my salads, since they are a healthy source of iron.  I LOVE balsamic vinagar, and this dressing is just about my favorite thing to put on a salad!  I like it so much, I *may* start putting it on people that I don’t like and see if it improves my feelings towards them…seriously. ๐Ÿ™‚  LOL!
I’ve found that infusing my water with fruit has helped me to enjoy drinking it more.
Drinking water with citrus in it during and after your meals helps your digestion! ๐Ÿ™‚

My cardio is TERRIBLE.  If I have to walk up a flight of stairs I am exhausted! ๐Ÿ™  I am going to work on that by using this new Taebo workout video.  I did really well with Taebo the last time I wanted to lose weight…but all of my Taebo stuff is on a VHS!  LOL…can we say…it’s been a while since I’ve excersized? 
Ugh! ๐Ÿ™
Some of my teammates do yoga and they say it’s great for strength and balance…so, I got me a purple mat and I’m gonna get on it! ๐Ÿ™‚
Taebo in the mornings, and Yoga before bed!
