Todays Tip. T.T

Eat your larger calorie meals earlier in the day. I eat many small meals in a day and I do not stick to the old 12:00 lunch hour to eat. I eat my lunch between 10:30 and 11:30 everyday and this also makes my dinner time earlier (before 6 pm). I eat a sugar free oatmeal for a snack (recipe below) if I need to keep me feeling full with fewer junk calories. I also do not always eat breakfast. If I am not hungry I do not force myself to eat or I may have a carrot juice (home juiced) and large water.

My Oatmeal Recipe:
1/2 C. rolled oats
1 C. water
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 packet Stevia
1/4 C blueberries

New Years 2015 I'm venturing into video blogging... Also back to daily training in 3 weeks. Due to an injury I am to refrain from hard core workouts until February 1st. I did however start my 365 Days of Juicing beginning December 30th. With this new year and juicing lifestyle I will not partake in alcohol or caffeine and will be getting back down to my comfortable shred weight of 114 lb. 15% body fat. I'm currently at 123 which is my holiday weight :) Check back daily for new juices and watch my transformation.
