Day 10
The Most
Important Meal of the Day
I personally
feel that every meal is important, but I am told that the most important meal
of any good day is the first one.
Breaking the
fast you underwent in order to get the right amount of sleep is very important
for a number of reasons. A good breakfast:
- Increases your brain’s efficiency throughout the day
- Increase your energy and feeds your muscles
- Kick-starts your metabolism
People who
regularly eat breakfast tend to have generally healthier lifestyles and
maintain a healthier BMI.
Sometimes I
find it impossible to take the time to eat breakfast or locate the desire to
put food in my mouth before I feel fully awake.
The 24 Day
Challenge includes a meal replacement shake for breakfast. If you don’t like
that option, you can always eat a healthy carb, protein and fruit instead.
However, I LOVE that option. I have zero time to get out the door in the
morning and the shake can easily travel with me. I find them very filling,
reasonably delicious and they give me all the energy I need to start my day out
the right way.
Today was
the last day of the Cleanse phase of the Challenge. I have a love/hate
relationship with the fiber drink. I will miss how full it makes me feel, but I
will not miss trying to choke it down first thing in the morning.
Anyhow…
excited for this next phase and continuing on this positive path!
Today:
I ate every 2-3 hours and drank as much water as I could
manage.
