Last week we closed out another year and entered in to 2010. This email was sent, last week, and may have been lost in the holiday mayhem. We hope you enjoy and look forward to the next segments.
I have had the pleasure of personally working with hundreds of busy moms over the course of my 15+ year coaching & fitness career.
In retrospect, I have identified the 5 anchors that tend to hold most moms back from getting the better body they so desperately are seeking.
Brad Taliancich is a New Orleans (Destrehan-based) coach and fitness boot camp instructor. Today he reveals the 5 obstacles a busy mom faces in her eternal quest for a better body.
WORKOUT? I don't even have time to use the bathroom!
Mother's are without a doubt the most selfless clients I have ever worked with, almost to a fault. Honestly, I wish they would just be a little more selfish sometimes and give their personal physical and mental health a bit more of a priority.
Many good mothers miss the boat when it comes to their fitness. In general, they tend to think that it's okay to put all of their personal ambitions aside for the good of their friends and family. But in reality, moms are not as effective as they could be when deviating from a healthy lifestyle.
After all, a mom who doesn't workout and doesn't eat the right foods at the right times will not be running on all cylinders.
Multi-Task Much?
In retrospect, I have identified the 5 anchors that tend to hold most moms back from getting the better body they so desperately are seeking. Here they are, in no particular order:
#1 Too Many Missed Meals- Especially Breakfast!
Many moms are simply on a roller coaster ride from dawn until dusk, dealing with the stresses of parenting and/or challenging careers. Mornings can be especially difficult since there is often the need to feverishly multi-task to get the kids and the husband fed and off to school. Not to mention the fact that many busy moms today have to deal with their own demanding, high-stress jobs.
Set that alarm 5 minutes earlier and make it a point NEVER to miss breakfast!
So missing breakfast becomes a reality, often leading to a host of other missed meals and snacks throughout the day. This leads to cataclysmal series of events that deprive your physique of lean, toned body mass while simultaneously priming your body to overeat junk food later in the day and store ugly, unwanted fat. Furthermore, this starvation protocol creates low levels of blood sugar which zaps your energy and leaves your feeling foggy, irritated, and lethargic all day long.
Look- there's always room for breakfast, you just need to make the time! Better yet, plan and prepare a breakfast high in lean protein and fiber in advance the night before to best ensure you stay the course.
One solution that's worked really well for our clients is a Meal Replacement Shake. It's a tasty meal replacement shake that contains a whopping 24 grams of protein, 5-6 grams of dietary fiber & 26 vitamins and minerals. What's the best part about it? It leaves NO room for excuses! All you need to do is mix 1 packet with water, mix, and enjoy.
