E is for ENERGY!!!!
Having energy in the morning and throughout the entire day, makes getting to the gym a whole lot easier. Lets be honest, no one really wants to go to the gym when a nap is screaming your name. Am I right??
So, having energy in the morning and throughout the entire day will make a day successful in every way. With your job, workout, at home responsibilities, and the list goes on....
Of course caffeine gives you energy... who doesn't love a wonderful cup of Joe to get your day going?
Love this little buddy of mine, it does wonders... from the wonderful man of mine :)
who doesn't love a good appliance!!
Another great way to have tons of energy throughout the day is getting plenty of sleep at night. The recommended is 8 hours of sleep at night, yes? It's amazing how much you are affected when you miss out on enough sleep... so really we should all go sleep like a baby :)
Before a workout is always an important time to have energy.
Energy = Motivation
Having a proper meal is a great way to get this necessary energy.
Protein packed and Healthy Carbs are the perfect combo for a good pre-workout meal or snack
Here are just a few recommendations:
-Protein Bars (with Low-Sugar)
- Fruit and Yogurt
-Lean meat (chicken or fish) with rice and veggies
-Protein Smoothie (Like this one!)
-And of course WATER!! Hydration is very important!
Another go to energy booster prior to a good workout are pre-workout supplements. My man swears by them!
HERE is a really good source for additional information and introduction into pre-workout's purpose along with different kinds!
They are best when you have them in a fun Shaker!
Another recommendation I have for energy, is taking a Multi-Vitamin. Many times, people miss out on certain important vitamins. I know a lot of people have mixed opinions on Multi-Vitamins, but personally, I am a fan. I feel that when I forget to take mine in the morning, I drag through the day.... Here are the kind that I take!
These ones are great for active women. It has both metabolism and energy support as well as a joint support blend! AND... they taste like the marshmallows from lucky charms! They're fantastic.
Another great pre-workout snack are eggs... and look at that... what that word starts with! the letter E!
Therefore:
E is for EGGS!!
This is a very simple recipe, more of a tip really, but I feel that anyone who enjoys eating hard boiled eggs needs to know this one!
"The BEST hard BAKED eggs!"
-As many Eggs are you desire
-Muffin Tin
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place one egg in each muffin holder in the muffin tins. Bake the eggs for 30 minutes. Immediately place the eggs in a bowl of ice water and allow to sit for about 10-20 minutes or until completely cool.
These eggs are so perfect every time. The shells peel right off and they are so perfectly cooked. When you take them out of the oven, they usually have little brown/burn marks on the shells. This is okay, it does not harm the inside eggs at all. I read about this method a long time ago and have no idea where it came from, so it is not an original recipe/tip, but it is wonderful to have!
and to end this lovely post... Just a bit about me...
E is for EARLY!!
I am an early riser! I wake up early Every. Single. Day.
Any day of the week!
I do enjoy embracing the day and enjoying the morning, but sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I could sleep in a little. I love going for early morning runs... it happens quite often... except when I visit home... early morning RIDES trump the run!
Okay, that is all for today. I hope everyone embraces the day, because this day will never happen again!
"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value"
-Albert Einstein
Anyone else an early riser?
Anyone else bake their eggs?
