Attention all you maxed-out mommas: Are you fed up with never being able to fit your exercise routine into your day because you’re too busy running errands, cleaning the house and juggling the kids?

You’re so not alone!

Fellow mom and exercise guru Carolyn Barnes became so overwhelmed with the continual chaos of mommy hood that she was inspired to create a truly unique (yet slightly off the wall) program to get it all in¦without losing your mind: cLEAN Momma!

The cLEAN Momma Lifestyle Program (www.cLEANMomma.com) teaches you how to incorporate a fitness routine into your already hectic day through the magic of multitasking (which is what moms are good at naturally).

Whether you have a sink full of dirty dishes, a basket full of laundry to fold or your three-year-old just spilled juice all over the kitchen floor.

cLEAN Momma helps you learn how to whip through all those chores while toning your tummy, thighs and tush at the same time.

After Carolyn’s second child was born, reality smacked her hard and fast: ‘Being a mommy is hard. Delicious, don’t get me wrong, but hard,’ Carolyn says.

‘Taking care of myself sat very low on my daily ‘to-do’ list. I was right above number 8, ˜Get milk and toilet paper.”

As desperation led her to inspiration, the clean Momma Lifestyle Program came together organically. Carolyn has divided it into the following three sections:

*The ‘Clean’ Routine: Perform a task while you exercise at the same time, or as she likes to call it: ‘taskersizing’

*The ‘Clean’ Mindset: Learn to achieve anything you set your mind to and stay motivated

*The ‘Clean’ Diet: Make ‘smart’ food choices and learn the definition of moderation!

Healthy eating and exercising regularly are the two best things you can do to help you live a long and healthy life. Most of us concerned with our health closely watch what we eat but we don’t always recognize the less obvious signs that we are overtraining.

We usually recognize these obvious signs of overtraining:

• Dehydration
• Dizziness
• Trouble breathing or maintaining a conversation
• Disorientation, foggy mental processing
• Rapid heart beat

But what about the less obvious ones? Many dismiss these four as nothing when in fact they are your body telling you something:

Signs That You’re Working Out Too Hard

Withdrawal Symptoms – Exercising can be as addictive as drugs. About every 8 weeks or so, exercisers should take a week off for their body to recuperate and heal.

If you find you cannot go that long without exercising and you start to experience withdrawal symptoms, you may be suffering from exercise addiction. Get some professional help.

Hormonal Imbalances – Overtraining in women can lead to hormone imbalances that manifest themselves in skipped periods. If you don’t have a period for six months in a row, see a doctor as you might be suffering from amenorrhea that can be caused by excessive exercising.

High intensity exercising over a long period of time can also cause excess levels of cortisol in both sexes. Elevated levels of the “stress hormone” can manifest itself in decreased testosterone and a weakened immune system.

Weakened Immune System – Our immune systems are slightly depressed right after exercising, but soon recover. However if you are overtraining, your immune system stays depressed which increases your risk of getting sick more often than you should.

If you often experience flu-like systems, but don’t develop the flu, it could be a sign you are overtraining.

Chronic Fatigue – Are you always tired or getting progressively more tired as time goes on, even after your recovery period? It could be caused from overtraining.

That is why fitness professionals recommend taking one week off of training approximately every two months. If you are still chronically fatigued even after taking a week off, see your healthcare professional.

If you are training a lot, then you need to be especially vigilant for any of the above signs of overtraining. Many can lead to serious health-related problems if not corrected quickly. Don’t be afraid to go to your healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment. Don’t be a victim of your own training.

Yesterday for breakfast I had an omolette, and it was pretty good actually.
I’m real big fan of omelettes but as you can see here I don’t have a picture so I had to take a picture from somewhere else and put that on there instead, it was good for me but I think we can improve on that a little bit.

Making a Better Omelette

The way that I made this omelette yesterday was by frying up some green peppers and onions on high with a little bit of butter. Once the veggies were fried up I added three eggs to the skillet and some cheese on top.

If you look at what my fit tracker using my fitness pal tells me I can tell you that the food in there was pretty good except a little high in fat the fat was caused by the butter and cheese of course answer many eggs.

Here was the breakdown. 584 calories, 7 grams carbs, 49 grams of fat, and 34 grams of protein

So first of all there’s three things that we can take way from this.

First the fat, if we didn’t use butter to fry the onions and green peppers then we would’ve lost 15 grams of fat. I use a non stick pan so really I did not need the butter in there.

Then the other fat is in the cheese (20 grams of fat) I’m not a really big fan of low fat cheese, I think some dairy fat is fine for you but some people don’t like dairy and in that case you would not have cheese on your on that anyways.

The other thing that I like to mention is the vegetables. Vegetables at lots of nutrients and almost no fat, or carbohydrates, or even any protein. Almost no calories in vegeatables so most of the vegetables are giving you is lots of water, vitamins, and minerals. And also lots of taste!

And I guess thirdly we have to look at the protein level of this omelette.

The protein in this was very good because of the eggs. Eggs has a lot of, and very balanced amino acids. Eggs really are one of the best proteins that you can eat and the cholesterol studies seems to show that they are just fine to eat a few times a week.

To add to the protein level of the eggs is the cheese. In the end we have quite a bit of protein in this meal. At 34 grams of protein we are at the top and maybe a little more of what your body can really assimilate. You have to remember that most research shows that we can only use 25 to 30 g of protein per meal so no point in having a six egg omelette, a three egg omelette is fine this is a very good breakfast.

An Omelette is a Fantastic Breakfast

I think one of my three egg omelettes is one of my favorite breakfasts. You could add more vegetables if you like you could not use cheese if you don’t like and the eggs are fine with two or three eggs.

Are you like me? Do you eat a bit of a different breakfast on weekends? I may have made this great omelette on Sunday but on Saturday morning I had a big fruit smoothie instead.
