So I gave in to my curiosity, went to the FitTea website, and ordered myself a 14-day teatox. There were a few things I was pleasantly surprised by when I received my order in the mail: for one, the bag is full of individual packets of tea which makes it very easy, rather than measuring and purchasing your own tea bags to enjoy the product, the second thing was that IT TASTES SO GOOD! I consider myself a pretty avid tea drinker but mostly in the evening and mostly as a calming and soothing drink. This tea has a slightly citrus taste and would be excellent with a bit of honey, though I haven't tried it for myself. From my first sip, I didn't care if this stupid fitness tool was supposed to work, I was glad I bought it solely for how delicious it was. The last thing, there are benefits that absolutely work like the tea advertises! Though I have not weighed myself (a rant for another post on another day), I can tell that I feel so much more energized and just overall better. When my 4:30 pm workout comes around, I do not look at that treadmill with drooping eyes or jump into bed afterwards for a nap. I feel great!
So there's my little rant about FitTea. I bring up the wonderful hot beverage to introduce my breakfast choice for today (and actually many days). I love weekends because I am actually able to workout in the morning and feel accomplished rather than waiting until the end of the work day. I really try not to eat before I workout because a. working out on a full stomach makes me feel a bit tired and not quite as strong, and b. because I want to save my food as a refuel for when I am done working hard.
On the back of the FitTea bag, it advises that you drink one cup of tea everyday either in the morning or before a workout. I am just one of those people who are hungry as soon as they wake up so having a cup of tea before I workout gives me a little fuel before I workout while letting me save my meal for after. After a warm cup, I headed off to the gym where I put some miles in. I am a treadmill in the gym runner which is not something you here very often but, again, that is another rant for another post on another day. Upon returning, I made one of my favorite breakfasts that I eat probably 2-3 times every week. It's no new recipe that I can claim as my own, but if you aren't already eating this, you should!
I make an over-easy egg and while it's on the stove, I pop a piece of whole-grain bread in the toaster. While those are cooking, I grab and avocado (I prefer it to be pretty soft for this recipe). I spread the avocado on the finished toast (why I like it to be soft so it spreads almost like butter, however, chunks work as well and are just as yummy) and plop the egg right on top. Ugh it is delicious and clearly crazy easy! Avocados and eggs are probably two of my favorite foods so there will be many more recipes including them to follow. Wake up and empower and fuel your body and you will not regret it when you feel energized and awake all day! Not to mention how satisfied you will be with yummy-ass egg yolk dripping down your chin. Happy Sunday!
