Okay, it
has been way too long since I have posted!!! Please forgive me. Work has
been crazy and I got to go on a little vacation for 10 days. I was in
Paris and it was so unbelievable. I stayed at a place called the Plaza
Athenee and got to see everything including The Louvre, the Picasso Museum, the
Rodin Museum, Musee D'Orsay and Versailles. Versailles was so spectacular
and HUGE!!! I did a bike tour of Paris by a company called Bike About
Tours, which I highly recommend if you ever get a chance to go.
I have to
tell you the main thing that I learned when I was there in regards to health
and fitness. I noticed that people were
eating basically whatever they wanted but here was the key… They would have
their 3 meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner and there was really no snacking
whatsoever, and they walk or ride their bikes everywhere so they are on the go.
Also, the foods had much smaller portions than in America, and most of
all their foods were all natural, without a bunch of preservatives to increase
the shelf life of their foods. I really do believe that they are onto
something there. I really want you all to start reading the nutrition
facts of the foods you are eating and if you don't know what something is or
you can't pronounce it, put it back on the shelves or in the freezer.
With a very few exceptions, the bulk of your food should have a shelf
life of no more than 2 weeks. Keep your freezer stocked with frozen
veggies and when your sweet tooth hits you, keep plenty of fruit in your
fridge. I always have a section of my fridge devoted to all kinds of
fruit so I can quickly grab a healthy and nutritious snack. When we last
talked, I was wanting you to check your fiber intake. I hope that went
well and you are continuing to get your fiber in. Are you feeling fuller,
longer? Are you staying “regular”?? (I know, but I have to ask
because it is VERY important).
So after
my trip to Paris, I came back home and had to do a little more work for BL and
now we have finally wrapped the season except for the finale. It was a
LONG season. I hope you are enjoying the show and all the drama but most
of all, I hope that you are staying inspired. You have the show to help
you and you have me right here at mytrainerbob.com to be there for you and
listen to you. Stay strong and stay
motivated to continue this plan of health and wellness. I will talk to
you VERY SOON. God Bless.
