20 Secrets of Very Fit People

20 Secrets of Very Fit People

Chalene Johnson

Here are a few Turbofied tips. Read these tips, then print and post them so you have them as a daily reminder. Look at exercise as a pleasure and a privilege, not a burden or chore. Think positively about the changes regular exercise will produce. Rather than obsessing about your next meal, get excited about your next workout! Focus on short-term fitness goals with an emphasis on completing daily exercise. Work to take your exercise to new levels of intensity. Make it your goal to do some form of exercise 6 or 7 days a week. If some days you exercise once in the morning and once in the evening, even better! If you're eating right, exercise will fuel your energy level! Create an exercise schedule the day before instead of leaving it to chance or waiting to "find" the time. If the last three Presidents of the United States can make time to work out every day, you can make time too! Enjoy contributing to the health of others by having a partner or friends to exercise with, as well as recruiting others who want to feel better and have more energy. Have a neighbor who's sitting on the porch every morning when you walk by? Ask him or her to join you on your walk! Avoid monotony by taking up new forms of exercising, or using things that keep you motivated and inspired, like new shoes or great music. Invest in the right tools—good shoes, a portable MP3 player or iPod®, fitness equipment, a new series of tapes, etc. Subscribe to fitness magazines to keep focused on health as an overall way of life. Eat well-balanced meals and remember that excess calories, even if they're from food that's fat free and high in protein, will turn to excess weight. No matter what the latest fad diet says, extra calories equal extra weight! Limit caffeine and exposure to even secondhand smoke. Keep a water bottle with you at all times and drink from it often. Water should always be your drink of choice. To kick things up every once in a while, try adding lemon, lime, cucumber, or a few berries to liven up the flavor without adding significant calories. Stick with eating plans you can maintain indefinitely. Remember that no matter how hard you're working out, if you're consuming too many calories, you'll never see the muscles that lie beneath layers of fatty tissue. Keep a daily log of what you're actually eating. This includes every time you grab a handful of chips here or eat the crust of your kid's sandwich there, and ALL of your snacking. Enjoy an occasional (once a week) "unhealthy" treat, but never an unhealthy week or unhealthy vacation. If your diet is unbalanced, take daily vitamin and mineral supplements for total health. Don't compare your body to others'. Instead, work to be your personal best. Move beyond the boundaries of weight loss and into total fitness. Measure success by the way your clothes fit, not some number on a scale. Get adequate amounts of sleep, but remember that people who exercise regularly fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly. Limit alcohol intake to special occasions.

The Beachbody Challenge

My first week at it!!!!

Well i started lifting really hard again and working out.  At least five days a week.  Changed my diet up and feeling good.  I started Monday really pushing myself and going harder than ever.  I hired a trainer to push me the way i know i couldn't push myself.  We follow the P90X routine but needed that extra accountability and push.  It has made all the difference. Jill is a great body to have there by my side.  I just moved to KC and so don't have anyone that I can meet there so this is a great way to make an accountability partner.  It wont be forever but like most people when i first start back to working out i don't want to go and if no one is there to make sure i go i might go and if i do who knows how hard i really push myself.  Having that buddy makes all the difference.  Having the right buddy changes the workout completely.  I know its all suppose to be you making yourself dig deeper but at first it is hard to be consistent until you see results.  At least for me.

Mondays workout was so tuff.. I almost lost my cookies.  I hadn't worked that hard for a long time.  Don't remember the last time i killed it like that. My legs were on fire and i wanted to fire Jill.  We worked so hard that my shirt was so wet and i wanted to die but i kept telling myself it was well worth it.  It will all pay off and i will feel better in an hour.  I mean really the workout is only an hour.  But the rewards will last much longer than that.  

Tuesday was a day without Jill and did cardio.  that's my routine.  Mon, wed, Fri Jill and Tues and Thurs. no Jill.  Did a machine that i don't even know the name of but kicks my butt.  It makes it a lot easier to cover the time up and watch tv while i bring it.

Wed was a weak day with Jill.  I hadn't eaten hardly anything and my body was telling me that.  I hit the ground while trying to do a lunge with a 30 pound bar on my shoulder and i could barely do any chair dips and my plank was weak.  we tried and pushed but my body was shutting down.  Realized how important it is to eat and eat well.  

Thurs was another cardio day and felt good.  

Friday wasn't able to meet with Jill 

Today is Saturday and a very good day.  I woke up and made breakfast 2 egg whites and 1 complete egg. 3 silver dollar pancakes with light syrup.  Then an hour later went to the gym and pushed cardio.  wanted to make the lady pump class but they changed the time and it had already started.  Next sat i am on it.  really looking forward to it.  then came home made a protein shake and took fluffer for a walk down a trail that was so beautiful.  It was along a runny creek and in the trees with a big pond.  the weather was crisp and he was loving it.  We walked for an hour and got a good sweat on.  It was a great time.  Little sprinkling.  After the walk we came back had lunch, grilled cheese and carrots with hummus with a vitamin water.  Then i took a shower and took fluffer to the groomers.  He looks so pretty now.  It was his first time.  He was so fluffy when i picked him up.  I cant stop picking him up and kissing him.  Watched a movie while he was getting done.  It was a bad movie.. waste of money!

Home now and relaxing listening to the rain and cleaning house and doing some work on the computer.  Caught up on some tv shows i have been waiting to watch.

Overall a great and productive day!  Tomorrow is football day!!!!!!!!!!!!

spending with some friends!!!!

Recipe: Zucchini Bread

Recipe: Zucchini Bread

Applesauce and walnuts give this the warm nuttiness of a fruit bread, while zucchini brings veggie goodness. Try making it in mini-loaf pans in a toaster oven if summer still has you not wanting to heat up your whole kitchen with the big oven.

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 6 egg whites
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup white or raw sugar (or substitute 1/3 cup honey and reduce applesauce to 1/4 cup)
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1-1/4 cups all-purpose (plain) flour
• 1-1/4 cups whole wheat (whole-meal) flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1-1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2-1/2 cups shredded zucchini
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 350° F (325° if you're substituting honey). Lightly coat two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans (or 5 mini-loaf pans) with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine egg whites, canola oil, applesauce, sugar or honey, and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on low speed until thick and foamy. In a small bowl, stir flours together. Set 1/2 cup of flour mixture aside. Add baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon to flour mixture in small bowl and stir together, then add to egg white mixture. Using electric mixer on medium speed, beat until well blended. Add zucchini and walnuts and stir with wooden spoon until combined. Adjust consistency of the batter with reserved 1/2 cup flour, adding 1 tablespoon at a time. Batter should be thick, not runny.
Pour 1/2 of batter into each prepared pan. Bake about 50 minutes (35 to 40 minutes for mini-loaf size), until a toothpick inserted into center of each loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and let finish cooling on rack. Each loaf will yield 9 1-inch slices, or 18 servings.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 50 minutes
