Good Advice

Hey y'all!

Let me just say that I am very proud of myself for losing 9lbs in January! My goal was 5, so I'm definitely doing something right. I'm gonna work hard to make sure that this keeps happening! Although, I can't lose 10lbs every month...because then I would weigh, like, 60 pounds by December. Not good.

While reading an article about how to improve your work-outs, I came across this paragraph:

Don't work too hard. This might sound counter-intuitive but hear me out. We all know how important rest and recovery is to any workout plan, but also think about how your workout affects the rest of your day. If you spend an hour at the gym sprinting and doing lunges, you might burn 600 calories in a short amount of time, but if that intense workout completely wipes you out for the rest of the day, the extra calorie burn might not be worth it. Be honest with yourself and definitely push yourself, but not so hard that it gets in the way of other daily activities. After all, the goal is to improve your quality of life.

This is pretty good advice if you ask me.

HappyMama, indeed.
