Breakfast is my Reward!

Monday night. Not much happening today with me in the way of fitness or health. I've decided I'm going to lose 5 pounds, and I'm going to do this by focusing on exercise and fat burning in the morning, when my body is most deprived of glycogen. I do love a good breakfast, but there is a lot to be gained from getting my workout in before I eat. This is actually the best time of the day to burn fat, right after you wake up, and it's also a great way to get yourself going if you have a busy day ahead of you. Plus, there is no breakfast tastes so good, nor any cup of coffee so sweet, as the one that you have as a reward for having run two or 3 miles right after you get out of bed. That's what a good breakfast should be: a reward for work well done.

Lazy, Lazy, Lazy. What is There to Eat in This House?

Lazy, lazy, lazy. This is a pretty good description of many people that I know. Out of shape, seriously lacking in motivation, and truly in love with their kitchen cabinets, which just coincidentally happen to be chock full of-eight, high fat, high sodium snacks, and even complete family dinners.

If this sounds familiar to you, maybe it's because it is. Most of us are lazy, and if you are American, it's not even necessarily your fault. You have the good fortune to live in a society where food is plentiful, exercise is optional, and most of the things you love to do, whether they're good for you or not, are readily accessible and cheap.

In some way, the pace of the world has overtaken us as human beings. We as a civilization have figured out how to live a life of economic success without ever having to exert one's body.
We can accept this as the status quo, or we can strive to do something about it. We can get back to the natural sense of ourselves by staying in shape.

A muscular and lean physique is something that harkens back to the very nature of mankind. The way we were, and cardiovascular health, speed, strength, and stamina were all necessary survival skills. I personally feel far more HUMAN when I am in shape and out-running everyone I know.
