How I Stay Fit in My 40s, Plus SHOP the Best Work Out Gear All on SALE

in Fashion, The Street Edit on 27/07/16

Workout Wear, Nordstrom Sale, Fitness in my 40's

 

Another ‘Streed Edit’ is here with my good friend and fellow Dallas Fashion Blogger, Tiffany Davros, of Street Style Squad.  We thought it would be fun to wear work-out clothes in a post, because let’s be real here, we certainly don’t get dressed up in street clothes every day!  It IS possible to look cute in work-out clothes, I love this particular line from Nordstrom called Zella, and I’ve linked my top work-out gear picks – all part of the NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE!

Now, onto my work-out routine and eating habits:  I’ve been wanting to share this for quite a while now because I do get this question quite a bit from my readers and friends – “How do you stay fit in your 40’s?”  Well, here’s my honest answer:

I’m a firm believer that my size has everything do to with the foods I eat.  Period.  Yes, I also believe that exercise is crucial, not only because it keeps me toned and firm, but it helps me mentally as well.  I think what I eat is about 85% of the reason I’m the size I am, the other 15% is exercise.

I practice Bikram hot yoga and am obsessed with it.  I do it religiously four times a week, the other 2 days a week I play tennis, and I take Sunday’s off.  Bikram is a 90 minute hot yoga class which takes place in a room that’s 105 degrees, so I sweat a ton a feel like a million dollars when I step out of the class room, EVERY time.  It’s tough and challenging to say the least, but it keeps me toned and helps me mentally.

I basically live by the Paleo way of eating.  I eat mostly fruits and vegetables, little or no red meat, and hardly ever drink alcohol.  I drink one cup or so of black coffee every morning in bed (one of my favorite times of the day), and the rest of the day I drink as much water as possible, never any sodas.

Here is what I eat on a daily basis:  I drink a shake in the morning, every morning, no matter what unless I’m traveling.  I’m a creature of habit I guess, because this is what I eat for breakfast literally every morning.  You can get the recipe for my morning shake here.

I’m a big snacker throughout the day which keeps my metabolism going.  When I get home from yoga or tennis I’ll have some organic mixed nuts and a big glass of coconut water.  For lunch I usually have a juice from the GEM, made up of kale, spinach, lemon, ginger, apples, and cucumber, (this one is called the GREEN GLOW), along with a protein bar or a salad.  In the afternoon, I’ll snack on some more nuts, gogi berries, celery and almond butter,  dark chocolate covered almonds, or a piece of fruit.  For dinner I usually have a protein such as chicken or fish, and a vegetable and or another salad.  I don’t drink alcohol that often, maybe a glass or two of red wine every one-two weeks.  It’s just never really been my thing for some reason.

My only dietary vice would be my enormous sweet tooth, which I inherited from my sweet Dad (pun intended).  So, to satisfy my sweet tooth I eat a small dessert only once a day, usually after dinner.  It’s often a few cookies, or a small piece of pie or cake.  I also LOVE chocolate so I’ll eat a few pieces of dark chocolate too!

It’s different for everyone, and trust me I know it’s not easy, but this regimen works for me.  It’s all about finding that balance and what works for you and your body type.  I encourage all of you to look at exercise and healthy eating not as a diet, but as a way of life, and not just because you’ll look better, but because you’ll feel better too!
