Monday – Transformation Tip: You Can Save Money & Lose Fat At the Same Time!
The truth is you don’t need to spend a lot of money on supplements, pills, cleansing potions, or shakes if you want to lose fat.
You just need to cut your calories. 
You don’t even need organic food to lose fat.
Heck, you can even just fast one day and live normally the rest of the week.
Alright, now that we’ve saved some money let’s burn some calories…

Interval Workout A
Yes, I know that seems like a long workout, but remember, the warm-up is built into that!
Tuesday
Pick 30 minutes of fun activity to stay active. I also recommend this 5-exercise series for people who sit at a desk all day. You can do this as part of a regular warm-up or at the end of any fat burning workouts, or on any off day. Do 1-3 sets of 6-15 repetitions per exercise.

Thursday 
Weekend is almost here…so do 30 minutes of fun activity to get it even closer!
But if you get hurt and strain a muscle, here’s what you need to do…
1) Get some cold compression on it ASAP. Do that for 10-15 minutes, take 30 minutes off and do it again. That will help limit the inflammation.
2) You can also start doing light stretching for it. This will help recovery.
Of course, if it is a serious injury, you must see a doctor or therapist.

Here’s my “big boy salad” recipe that I’ve been eating out of a big boy bowl at home…
- Mixed greens and baby spinach
- 1/2 can black beans
- Red Peppers
- Green Peppers
- Broccoli
- Tomato
- Onion
- Mushrooms
- Avocado
- Black olives
- And tomato sauce. Yeah, might sound a bit weird but I’m not a fan of the taste of salad dressing.
Enjoy a big boy (or big girl) salad this week for lunch!
