Food To Chew On:

Thursday –“Rejoice”

Nehemiah 8:10 (KJV)

 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Thought For The Day:

Before I do anything else I will rejoice… for the Joy of the Lord is my Strength!!!

Good Day, happy Thursday!!! It is truly a Blessing to see another day and have the strength and activities of my limbs… We are now finding out that there are a lot of tasty foods and drink and the good part is that we are not blowing out calorie count for the   day. J

We are waking up to face our first day back at work, let’s be refreshed with our prayers, our visions for the manifestations is just around the corner.  We are still focusing on eating right and exercise… so for this week we are going to learn how to count your calories by this Seven Day eating plan.

A well-planned, 1,300-calorie meal plan can give you all the nutrients you need while helping you reach your weight-loss goals. Planning your meals in advance allows you to shop for all the ingredients you need for healthy, low-calorie meals, so you do not resort to fast food in a pinch. A meal plan can also help you ensure minimal waste, because you buy only what you need. For a 1,300-calorie day, plan for three 350- to 400-calorie meals and two 80- to 125-calorie snacks each day.

What if I have a Medical Condition?

There are several special exercises for the elderly training considerations that must be kept in mind for these conditions.

You can safely exercise with these conditions by following some simple suggestions and checking with your doctor.  

Calories over Weight

When it comes to exercising for low body fat and bringing forth glorious abdominal muscles, weight training for muscle growth has nothing to do with it. Burning calories is the number one goal.

Of course this doesn’t mean that 100% cardio is ideal either, because weight training protects lean mass from breakdown during a slimming phase. The best approach is one that mixes short bouts (10mins) of pure cardio exercises like jogging, swimming, jump roping etc. with circuit training. Focus primarily on full-body workouts that incorporate ab exercises and allow for full range of motion for functional strength.

Get fit by reinventing mundane stomach exercises as a part of an extensive and metabolically challenging circuit; then jog for 10 mins. Include all kinds of extra movements, especially ones that challenge the body’s internal balance and stabilization mechanisms when approaching an abs workout.

A Healthy Menu

Day Four

Stir together 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of sliced grapes and have with a slice of whole-grain bread topped with 1 tbsp. of peanut butter. For lunch, make a sandwich with 1/2 cup roasted chicken, 1 oz. part skim mozzarella cheese and a slice of avocado on two slices of rye bread. At dinner, enjoy a homemade chef salad made with 2 oz. of natural ham, two chopped egg whites, romaine lettuce, chopped tomatoes and two chopped artichoke hearts canned in water. Toss with a low-fat, low-calorie dressing. For snacks, try 1/4 cup of chickpeas tossed with chopped cucumber, dill and lemon juice and later, three fresh apricots.
