Becoming a Smokejumper or Has She Gone Insane?!?!

Wow I have the same problem! I use to just work on the weekends but now work full time and it requires a lot of walking and lifting . Plus in a way you feel like you have already worked out by lifting all that heavy stuff. Which is one of the best reasons I give myself on why I need to still exercise and eat right so I can have that energy. How are you going to have energy if your not giving yourself that energy? I feel that strength training works the best for those who have jobs like these because the more you strengthen your body the more it will be able to endure specially when you do lower back exercises. In my opinion I think people depend too much on losing weight just on cardio alone when there are plenty of other exercises you can do that’s not high impacted and can still lose the calories if you don’t feel like jumping up and down. Such as yoga, Pilates, swimming, weight lifting, belly dancing list goes on… But anyway hope everything gets better for you!

I haven't tried coconut oil yet, but I've been finding new and interesting ways to get coconut water into my diet without the texture issue. We found a dehydrated coconut water (CocoHydro) that I put in anything that will cover the texture. Same with almond milk. I'm not too keen on the texture of it by itself, but it's a great substitute for milk when I make breakfast shakes in the morning. I was going to make some pancakes this weekend with it, and I'm toying with the idea of making almond syrup to go with them. Heck, maybe I'll do that Thursday since I'll have the day off and the kiddo starts school this week.

Interesting! Try coconut oil I take it in my coffee each day. It goes directly to your liver for energy...you can cook with coconut water too if you don't like it straight.
