New Job, tips?

I've been unemployed for the past 6 months,so I've been able to put more focus into weight loss. Now, that hasn't exactly HELPED me, but having a flexible schedule has been nice.

​

I start a new job tomorrow. One of the biggest things that has impacted my weight loss in the past has been work. So, I am a little nervous about throwing in and adjusting to a new routine.

​

To start, I am working Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm. My schedule may change, but at the latest, I'd be working 11am to 7pm. I have no idea when I'll have a lunch break or even if I'll get an actual break. It may be that I have to grab bites to eat when things are slow. I also have no idea what the accomodations are for food storage/heating. Tomorrow, I am bringing pasta salad in my insulated lunch box with an ice pack. If I find that I can heat food, that will certainly give me more options in the future; if not, I will need to either become more creative or invest in a nice thermos.

The good news is, because this is a retail job, I will go from being completely sedentary to lightly active. However, I also lose the flexibility I had to do a Leslie Sansone walk in the middle of the day. I feel like I may try to workout first thing in the morning, but I'm unsure how to go about fitting it into my schedule.

I'm just not sure about working out first thing in the morning, before eating breakfast (because that's the only way I can do it logistically.) I've heard mixed messages about excercising without eating beforehand, but I also don't know how I'll react to it. (I know I struggle with drinking water on an empty stomach because it makes me nauseous).

Obviously, I'm not the only person to squeeze in a workout, shower, and breakfast in before heading off to work. However, I've been living with the flexibility that comes with unemployment for half a year now, so I'm unsure how I will adjust.

9 Things You Can Do Daily To Help Reduce Cellulite

Image
We’re just going to start off by saying that although cellulite may not be the most pleasant thing to have to deal with, it is in fact, totally normal, with an estimated 80 to 90 per cent of women over the age of 25 having cellulite to some degree. Further to this, cellulite doesn’t discriminate, affecting women of all ages and body types (yes, even those who are super lean) — and whilst there is no quick fix or miracle cure, the good news is that there are a few things you can do on a daily basis to help keep those dreaded dimples away. Here, we explain what they are, with the help of trusted naturopath and founder of Edible Beauty , Anna Mitsios. Image: Edible Beauty “ The term cellulite refers to the dimpled appearance of the skin that typically occurs on the hips, thighs, and buttocks, caused by fat deposits that push and distort the connective tissues beneath skin,” Anna tells Sporteluxe . Anna explains that although the exact cause of cellulite is not known, things such a

A Nutritionist On 4 Things To Consider When It Comes To Vegan Supplements

Image
Written by nutritionist, Steph Geddes . For those who may not be aware, vegans do not consume any animal products so essentially remove meat, poultry, eggs, seafood or dairy from their diet. They also don’t consume products made from animal sources such as broths, gelatine and honey. Therefore their diet consists solely of plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.  Whilst this can be considered a very healthy way of eating if the focus is on getting a very well balanced variety of wholefoods foods in one’s diet, it can also mean that vegans may rely on processed foods, refined carbohydrates, added sugars and products full of additives and preservatives as their base diet. If you’re vegan and struggle to get a minimum of 5-7 serves of vegetables, 2-3 serves of fruit as well as plenty of varied grains, legumes, nuts and seeds per day then you should  definitely consider a supplement. Even on a non-vegan very healthy, wholefood based diet, it can be a diff
