I'm not sure about you, but as soon as I eat or drink something that isn't good for me I don't feel as sharp. But when I am eating clean and staying active I feel amazing. Sometimes I need to remind myself of a few things.
Here are some exercise and nutrition tips to start out with: ( and a note to self)
- Keep a food journal. In the past when I really am trying to lose some weight I write down everything I eat for the day
- Do not eat a heavy dinner. I would rather see you eat a bigger lunch or breakfast, but at night stick with something light. Maybe grilled fish and salad. I will be posting some healthy recipes in the near future
- If you are busy all day running around town make sure to pack some healthy snacks in your purse. Such as almonds, an apple, rice cakes or even a Lara Bar. Do not wait until you are starving I have made this mistake and end up overeating.
- I am still a coffee LOVER, so I'm not asking anyone to give it up, but PLEASE drink more water throughout the day and less of all the other bad drinks out there.
- Try to do something active every day. Walking, biking, swimming, dancing with your kids. The more active you are the better you will feel
- Don't obsess with the scale. As long as you feel good and healthy that is all that matters.
Starting this week I will be starting up a fitness boot camp with some other girlfriends. Not only will this keep me accountable to working out, but I can hang out with some friends and maybe make some new ones too. Grab a friend and go running or if you are in my neck of the woods come join us.
