HGB Fitness: Nutrition- The 90/10 Rule
Hello my fitness loves! I hope you all are having a splendid week so far. For today's fitness post I wanted to focus on the 90/10 rule. For those of you who do not know, the 90/10 rule simply states that weight loss is 90% nutrition and 10% exercise. When I learned this a few years ago I was in complete shock. I knew that I couldn't "pig out" and expect to be in shape, but I would think that exercise would be only 10%.

What I Wore: Rock a Denim Top and Printed Skirt
Happy Wednesday (or whatever day it is when you read this)! I'm here with an outfit post featuring some oldies but goodies. I paired a bold printed skirt with a denim shirt, gold accessories and my new favorite shoes (I have them in brown as well). I am all about shopping your closet and getting the most use out of what you own. So I went in to the archives of my closet to find one of my favorite skirts that I purchased 2-3 years ago. I think a skirt like this is pretty much timeless. It goes with just about anything because of all of the colors and it can be dressed up or dressed down, which is always a plus. Take a closer look at my latest "What I Wore" post. What I Wore Denim Top via Target Printed Skirt- mark via Avon (Yes the same Avon where you get a new campaign every two weeks. There are some hidden gems!) Blue pony hair … [Read More...]
