How often do you stretch your hips? If I donāt do my morning hip openers, my day just aināt right. Give me that, along with some freshly squeezed lemon water, and I can conquer the day. š

1. Cardio Health
2. Antioxidants
3. Cognitive Function
4. Mood & Mental Health
5. Metabolic Effects for Weight Mgmt.
6. Skin Health
Whatcha think?
Weāre having breakfast together. What are you getting? Hereās my choice:
Veggie omelet, light cheese, rye toast. Hold the hash browns & grits. Add avocado on the side.
(Note: today isnāt a splurge day, so no grits or hash browns for me.)
Hereās everything I do to avoid a big menopause belly as a 51-year old grandma:
ā
Strength train regularly and avoid excessive cardio
ā
Manage cortisol levels through proper sleep and stress relief strategies
ā
Prioritize protein and proper hydration
ā
Intermittent fasting 4-5x week
ā
90% avoidance of processed foods, white flour carbs and sugary foods.
ā
Donāt overtrain: My workouts are only 10-20 mins long, 4x week.
ā
Stretch daily: if youāre tight, in pain, or mentally drained, stretching can help alleviate all of that. Stretching relaxes you and calms your parasympathetic nervous system, which can reduce stress-related belly fat over time.
ā
I donāt deprive myself: I choose the proper times to splurge sensibly, usually 1x week.
šØIf you feel discouraged or stuck, donāt think of your needed changes as an āall or nothingā approach. Instead, decide on 1 or 2 very small changes you can start making today:
Get consistent at those good changes over the course of a few weeks, then add in another small change. Keep up with this system until youāre doing many small things well. Itāll set you up for success without you feeling overwhelmed.
I bet youāll do great!
