Skipping Breakfast is NOT an Option

That is if your goal is to boost your metabolism, burn more fat and enjoy energy throughout the day.

I know, I know…it’s not news to you that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Why?

Did your New Year’s Resolutions last until February?

February is a pivotal point.

Nearly 50% of those who set out with the best of intentions to lose weight and get fit are running low on the motivation and the willpower to keep going. By the end of the year 88% will have abandoned their resolutions.

While there are many articles on mistakes made when setting resolutions, reality is…it’s bound to happen.

At some point in the journey you embark upon to lose weight, to improve your health and fitness, you get to a point where you will feel the strong desire to just give up.

4 Week Results of a Former Cardio Queen

The Moms at ClubFYM who took on the 12 Week New Year’s Transformation Challenge are sharing their 4 week progress updates. One of the most inspiring results shared are from Busy Mom Jennifer, who as a former cardio queen was extremely skeptical of the concept of working out just 90 minutes a week. See what she has to say after giving the Fit Yummy Mummy fat loss system a chance to reshape her body.

Jennifer’s 4 Week Reflection:

“At week 4, I am in a curious position.

Being a reformed cardio queen, I’ve come into this challenge and FYM program skeptical about the philosophy of obtaining physical results when only spending a total of 90 minutes exercising per week.  I knew going into this challenge that it would not only be a physical challenge for me, but a mental one.  A challenge believing that I was not actually wasting precious work out time by adhering to the 90 minute rule.

I admit, it’s been difficult pulling back on cardio.

However, at just week 4, I can say that I am seeing interesting results as my body is beginning to take on a new shape!

I have been gleaning a lot of valuable information from FYM mostly a change in my mindset over the short and sweet workouts vs. hours of cardio.

My Initial Transformation Challenge Goals:

Day One:
I am soooo tired of the ups and downs of getting “fit” and I mean, really “fit”.  I have tried every diet out there until realizing about two years ago that it shouldn’t be a “diet” but a “lifestyle change”.  I have fallen into so many traps over my journey…the eat less, gain less philosophy only to realize that I was shooting myself in the foot by sending my body into crisis mode so it held onto the fat because I wasn’t eating.  Then, I became a cardio queen.  And while I got super thin, I was soft thin, no muscle tone, very gaunt looking.  I work out 5-6 days a week, take spin, run half marathons but still feel flabby.
