Read a quote this morning I am going to share…great way to start the day
“Excellence is a combination of passion & focus. When you have passion for what you are doing and get your focus in the right place, everything else will follow. Embrace the moment.” Isn’t that great! It is so true. We can all talk about a passion we have be it gardening or sky-diving, but if we don’t combine it with focus the passion will be lost and not fully embraced. You would be cheating the passion and in turn the fire will sizzle and fade away. Focus illuminates the passion
One of the ways I stay focused in my passion is through fuel…the nutrition kind
Just had a nice juicy grapefruit with my egg-whites for breakfast and thought of sharing the huge benefits it provides. Not only are grapefruits low in calories and filled with essential nutrients, it is also low in sodium, high in potassium, and high in fat burning enzymes. The fact that they are low in sodium is important because it helps in flushing away the excess water we retain from consuming foods that are high in sodium. Enzymes are very important when it comes to digesting our foods. Grapefruits are high in fat burning enzymes! Fat burning anything, I am all for!
Lastly the fact that many fruits are high in water, 90% in grapefruit, is critical in boosting water ingestion for the energy we need, and valuable in speeding our metabolism. Indulge friends! Summer was made for juicy nutrition filled fruits. Grapefruits have the added benefits! Enjoy
Enjoy today’s workout…Take a walk to the market and pick up some fruits!
Mini-workouts give huge benefits. Throw in 10 minute spurts throughout the day! Get up right now and run up and down the stairs….go!
Have a Great Day…Buen Dia!
Besos y Abrazos….xoxo “….Barbara por Atras, Barbara por Alante, y Siempre Barbara por Adentro!”
P.S. Need to be honest….blame it on PMS weakness
Yesterday I went to my fav market Wegmans, and after walking pass the fresh bread counter about 100 times debating on whether to do it or not, I did it. I bought a loaf of organic wheat bread, came home, poured EVOO w/herbs on a small dish, dipped the bread in the oil and ate THE WHOLE THING!!! OMG que rico! Boy did I embrace that moment!
