My body is my engine.... this is my fuel 2-11-2010

I went to a nutrition Seminar at Crossfit Marysville w/Todd Widman and he basically said if your body is an engine.... then think of it as the best engine in the entire world..... now lets think of our food as our fuel.... what kind of fuel are you putting into your engine.... high quality fuel that will help it perform better or crappy fuel that makes you slow, doesn't last as long and leaves behind mushy, sticky sludge???

Me? today my fuel is....
Breakfast: 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 TBS of organic peanut butter, 1 scoop lowfat and sugar free choco protein powder (notes: taste like a no-bake cookie... it is sooooo delicious!!!!)

Lunch: 5oz chicken breast grilled w/a lil taco seasoning, topped w/fresh salsa and 1 TBS avacado and put on 2 pieces of butter lettuce w/side of 1 cup steamed asparagus and a kiwi (notes: This was filling and tasted soooo good... I started eating it slow so it would last longer lol)

Snack: 2 hardboiled eggs w/egg yolks mixed w/avacado and 1 cup of steamed brocolli

Dinner: will be baked salmon topped w/pesto and tons of cups of steamed asparagus mmmmmmmm I can't wait!!!!

Oomph for life

What is oomph? To me.... it means living life to the fullest while being the happiest person I can be....
How do I achieve oomph in my life? I would say this will come from overall well being... in the 4 elements of Native health... in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.....

I am creating this blog to track my oomphyness to keep my accountable.... I will be posting what I am eating... my workouts, what motivates me..... I will even track my humaness and let you know my struggles on staying oomphy at all times :)

So lets start today!!!!

"The greatest wealth is health" -Virgil
Thank goodness that we have today! I hear my daddy say "There are too many tomorrows" and that motivates me everyday.... for the past 2 weeks I have been getting up at 5:00am and leaving my husband and 3 kids sleeping to go workout at Crossfit Marysville.... I have a hard time finding time to workout sooooo I created time.... I set up an alarm on my phone that goes off at 5am monday-friday, I also started sleeping in my workout clothes and leave my workout shoes by the door..... no excuses.... and guess what!? I feel great!!! The 5am workout really give me extra oomph to make it through my day..... I have energy and it motivates me to eat better....
so lets so our goal for the day.... and that will be to quit making excuses and say "If I don't have time to workout, I will create time to workout" it can be earlier in the morning, or a lunchtime jog, right after work or right before bed.... CREATE time for your health TODAY... because there are too many tomorrows and "Tomorrow may never come"
