Motivate Me Monday #7: Anything related to health or fitness

Let's Link Up for Motivate Me Monday!
I am co-hosting with Ashley and Whitney! Even if you didn't participate in this weeks challenge...you can still link up and tell us about anything in your life that is fitness related!


Thanks to everyone who joined last week!
For Love of a Cupcake
Today's Challenge/Topic is : 
(as stated in last weeks post HERE)
There is no real challenger per say...
We just want YOU to share anything health or fitness related! ANYTHING you want to share...whether it be fun facts or about yourself!

OK! So I only made it to the gym once BUT I had the WORST SORE THROAT ever. It actually still hurts but seems like its getting better. I had planned to go to the gym this morning...but woke up all stuffy.

So I try to eat 5 small meals a day and normally DO.
I usually prepare my meals the night before. I cook one big meal and it lasts for all of my meals the next day. I know some of you are super duper busy with families so I found this healthy snacking guide :-) BUT if you do eat these snacks...remember don't eat too much at one sitting. Moderation is the key!




Referring to the above guide.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE hummus!
Also...have you ever tried low fat vanilla yogurt with grapes? SO GOOD!!
Or cottage cheese with pineapples?? EVEN BETTER!!
Have you ever tried freezing grapes? and eating them frozen?! YUMO!
I will also snack on low fat graham crackers...those are our go to "bad" snack at the house. I don't normally buy junk food.

Some more healthy snacks..


I seriously swear by this next quote...

So as you can see...I normally try to watch what I eat but that doesnt always happen. I have the biggest sweet tooth ever...as I mentioned before. And sad to say that I had been eating quite a bit of sweets.

So this past week...I went 5 days WITHOUT SWEETS!! I thought it would be hard. But YOU KNOW WHAT? I ate breakfast ever morning and I didn't crave any sweets! For breakfast...I ate one piece of toast and a third cup of egg whites!

See...breakfast really is important!

So...that's all I've got for you today.

NEXT WEEK'S CHALLENGE/TOPIC:
We want to challenge your strength! How many PUSH UPS can you do at one time. Do this at least three times during the week and tell us your highest number!!

If you are not sure how to work out a particular muscle group...please email me and I would be happy to help you! Then you can tell me next week how it worked for you! forloveofacupcake@gmail.com

Now let's link up...

Now grab the button and visit my co-hosts Ashley and Whitney!


If you have any ideas for challenges...or something you would like to bring up...email us and let us know! Tell us your weaknesses and strengths for the week in each MMM post.


Have a wonderful day!!

    Those two posts with snack ideas are just what I needed. I need to be more creative so it's not always the same thing. And I truly could NOT agree anymore with your last quote. I always knew it was true, but I hadn't seen any results until this year. I have been doing the smaller meals throughout the day lately and just eating better in general, and I love it. Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm so glad I found your blog.

    Happy Monday!
    xoxo

    Um push ups I can do 12 (girl style) then I shake and can't make it backup once I go down after that LOL Upper body strength in the tricep area is something I have been trying to work hard on lately!

    Zero motivation over here, too. :/
    And sadly, I don't care enough to do something about it right now.
    I just want to be lazy today. Lol.
    Goodness!

    Thanks for the motivation, dearie.
    I should probably get up and do some exercising.
    By the way, LOVE frozen grapes.
    AMAZING.

    I love hummus! Yum :) Love the snacking guide.

    My health tips would just be to turn every day activities into an exercise. Park far away from the building. Take the stairs..and walk up and down them a few times. Do squats whenever the opportunity arrises. Clean over and over again. Going out for drinks? Dance some of it off. You get the idea.

    I totes love hummus! It's soooo delicious. I had a co-worker who brought in homemade hummus and we ended up eating it all day long.
