On Twitter I occasionally do an #AskLzzyAnything hour, where you guys ask me about wellā¦ Anything! Iāve noticed a lot of you inquire about my eating and exercise habits on the road. But itās tough to fit all the info So I thought Iād let you all in a bit and give ya the scoop on what my daily plate looks like. But before I do I must make a few things clear, Iām not a dietitian, Iām quite average in my body type, and like everyone in this world Iām not perfect and occasionally indulge in a favorite dessert or killer burger! What Iām sharing with you is what I strive for and consume 90% of the time. Also Iām aware that everyone has their own thing (paleo, vegetarian, primal, all American, etc) this post is not me saying you should adopt my habits, Iām just sharing what I do. Ok? Oh! And one more confession, Iām partially writing this to kick my own ass back into shape. By sharing this with you, it reminds and inspires me to stick with my plan!.
Okā¦ Now for the good stuff.
Eats.
My eating habits are very simple. I eat as close to nature as possible, as in ācould my food have developed on its own in natureā. For example, a cow is born, a carrot grows. Sugars, Grains and Dairy are manufactured. So I stay away from processed, āman madeā products as much as possible. My diet consists of 70% meats, 20% vegetables and 10% fruits on any given day, but Iām not too strict with those percentages because itās about the quality of the food not the quantity. You canāt really go wrong with those three categories. I do eat potatoes, but stay away from fried versions.
Now for the boozeā¦I break my rules and indulge in good beer and red wine, because Iām human and like to have a good time. You just have to be careful to not over do it because too much a good thing is a bad thing. On a sad note, this is the year that I had to quit liquor. Something strange happens when the shots come out to play, my lights go out, and I become someone I donāt want to be (remember my past post about balance?)But itās okā¦ Cuz that just means less shit to worry about.
Ok now on to Exercise.
Let me be honest, I hate exercise, and I hate gyms. But Iāve found 4 things that I absolutely love that still count as workouts and you donāt need a gym! 1. Walking. I walk everywhere and average about 3-4 miles a day. 2. Jump Rope. I carry jump rope with me on tour and put in about 30-45 mins whenever I can, I do this off tour as well! Itās such a great Whole body workout! Of course number 3. Rock Show! Even if you are a fan in a crowd rocking out in the pit! That is actually exercise. I burn an approximate 300 calories during a 90 min rock set. Andā¦..
Last but not leastā¦ You guessed it.. Sexā¦get into it, its fun and is a great workoutā¦ With some awesome rewards too!
So there we have it! Hope you found this entertaining, and as always thank you for letting me into all of your lives!! If you have any questions I did not addressā¦ Feel free to write me!
Love, Lzzy
