Morning Routines41.2 lbs LOSTso farFebruary 9, 2008 by Israel Lagares | 7 comments
Blogging is definitely not the perfect ‘job’ when you are trying to watch your weight. My weight has gotten up to about a steady 215, but ideally 180 is my target. I’ve tried fasting, with the Master Cleanse Diet, however since then I’ve gained the weight back. I’ve also cut down drastically on soda and began drinking tons of water. However, it hasn’t been enough.
Morning Walks
The past few days I have started morning walks with my girlfriend and son (2 yrs old). Our method has been to get moving early (wake up earlier) and exercise.
We walk several blocks to the store and buy fruit each day. On the way home we all share it (or give little Matthew). It’s a way to get moving and to eat a healthy light breakfast. It doesn’t hurt to get the little guy up and moving as well.
Make it Work for You
Routine and consistency is the key for a workout like this. I have been trying to do everything else to be healthier, but walking and exercise was missing. I believe that it is my last key to begin losing weight again.
You have to make it work for you. We enjoy taking our son out for a walk. The healthy snack for breakfast is plus as well. Since I enjoy it, I am definitely more likely to continue this routine. It’s more an enjoying trip rather than a “workout”.
Not everyone has the luxury of doing this every morning. Be creative with physical activity. Maybe for lunch grab a quick filler and take a walk.
Most importantly, do what works best for you.

So Matt,
You don’t buy into the theory of a bigger breakfast and 4 smaller meals through-out the day? That is the route im going, trying to eat a decent breakfast that tides me over.
Not necessarily a bigger breakfast, just a breakfast is good.
Ive never really been into breakfast at all. I’m just not hungry in the morning like that
Whether you’re into breakfast or not, a consistent routine is the key to boost your metabolism. It’s smarter to eat in the morning and after physical activity as your body will naturally process the food intake in smarter ways. Eating in the morning will also decrease your appetite later on, ensuring the food you eat is at the ideal time and in a correct balance with your metabolic needs. Balance, Consistency, and Timing are definitely huge in the fight against fat.
Well put, I was going to say the exact same thing.
Always important to eat your give your body some energy and protein in the morning.
Matt,
You could try this, if your not hungry first thing in the morning like me I will exercise first then eat an ok sized breakfast, with just fruit or eggs. Eat organic unrefined Coconut Oil. Put a tablespoon in green tea, or Yerba Mata, once in the morning and at night. It helps speed up your metabolism and miraculous for health.
Burn the fat feed the Muscle.

This resveratrol works, I do not eat as much and it happen without me trying, its all natural.
Resveratrol Supplements can help you control your weight naturally
by increasing energy, reducing cravings, and limiting your appetite.
According to Wikipedia, Consumer Lab, an independent dietary
supplement and over the counter products evaluation organization,
published a report on 13 November 2007 on the popular resveratrol
supplements. The organization reported that there exists a wide range
in quality, dose, and price among the 13 resveratrol products
evaluated. The actual amount of resveratrol contained in the
different brands range from 2.2mg for Revatrol, which claimed to have
400mg of “Red Wine Grape Complex”, to 500mg for Biotivia.com Transmax,
which is consistent with the amount claimed on the product’s label.
Prices per 100mg of resveratrol ranged from less than $.30 for
products made by Biotivia.com, jarrow, and country life, to a high of
$45.27 for the Revatrol brand. None of the products tested were found
to have significant levels of heavy metals or other contaminants.
