Sticking To Your Food Schedules

As you can probably tell if you’re a regular Reshape the Nation blog reader, today’s post is coming a little later than usual. That’s because I’m on the road again and couldn’t get internet access until now. So first… my apologies for being late. And second, the traveling got me inspired for today’s topic. I had to leave for the Baltimore airport at 4:30 this morning, and as a result, I definitely didn’t get my 6:00 AM workout in.

Missing a daily workout happens to everyone… even Chris Powell, trainer extraordinaire, physical fitness expert, and our Reshape leader. It’s OK. Schedules get hectic. But what never happens is a day where we don’t eat. No matter what we’re doing, I think I can safely assume we all find time to eat. And, since even on our busiest days, we find that time to eat, we don’t really have an excuse for not eating when we should, right?

For example, when I woke up early this morning to catch my flight, I wasn’t hungry. It was 4:30 in the morning… the only thing I was craving was more sleep. Nevertheless, I had my regular morning meal. Yup… I ate even though I wasn’t hungry, which would seem to contradict most every piece of weight loss advice or diet program most of us have ever followed. However, our bodies actually need to eat. They need food… they just don’t need junk foods or excessive amounts of food. By eating this morning, despite not being hungry, I kick started my body’s metabolism. The result was that even though I couldn’t get a workout in today, my metabolism was still working hard and helping keep the weight off.
