The Best Way to Start 2018
Hello, my fellow bloggers!
As you know, my good friend Mliae needs to get in shape after some health problems. And she asked for my help before the holidays. I felt she deserved to enjoy Christmas without worrying about her diet or having to exercise so I gave her vacation until this week.
Now, it´s time to work, for both. I usually ask my clients for a testimony, a recommendation letter or something similar, once we have finished and reached the goal. But this girl has surpassed all my expectations before we started.
It’s a long post explaining the reasons why we work together again, but I know you like reading and I’m sure you’ll love every word. I can´t imagine a better way to start this year.
Thanks, my dear Mliae for your trust and this beautiful post!

Thank you! So happy to be working with you, I know it’s going to be awesome :D Looking forward to a check in next week with lower numbers & higher energy!
Me too! I think we will get lower numbers but, higher energy? Where is your limit? LOL!
LOLz Didn’t realize I was coming across as the boundless energy type…that’s great! More of that, please :D
Hey Chape! I read Mliae’s post, and I have one question. Why are you have her drink warm water when she wakes up? I always have a glass or two of water when I get out of bed, because I’m always thirsty then. But I usually make sure it’s cold. Is there some advantage to drinking warm water?
Warm water on an empty stomach improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and the kidneys. Warm water has a calming effect on the body, which helps relax the abdominal muscles to provide relief from cramps and muscle spasms. (Cold water on an empty stomach can cause these muscle spasms and cramps).
Also, warm water increases the body temperature and, therefore, increases the metabolic rate. When this happens, it also stimulates the burning of calories.
Warm water is better than cold, my friend ;)
Wow, thanks Chape! I had no idea about any of that information!
Welcome :D The benefits of drinking warm water were well-known by the Romans. They founded a lot of hot springs, not only for bathing but for drinking that water ;)
Nowadays there are hotels that give all kinds of thermal treatments in those ancient places founded by the Romans.
Big hugs!
Thanks Chape, I had no idea that the Romans also drank from hot springs!
Now you know 😁👌
