Many of YOU commented on how you’d like to lose X amount of pounds as your fitness goal and I just wanted to share with you what’s worked for me…maybe it’ll work for you?! Believe me when I say that I have to hear stuff hundred’s of times before I change my thinking and my habits!
Most importantly, be happy with where you’re AT NOW. Live in the present and try to make small changes over the course of a year. It’s taken me two years to find my “healthy weight” and it takes constant vigilance to what you put in your body to keep the weight off. Doesn’t matter how many miles I run or ride, it’s what you put in your mouth that counts.
1. Cut the sugar
2. Skip the rice, pasta, and bread at dinner
3. Eat copious veggies
4. Drink a green smoothie daily
5. Do something physical daily
6. Play with your kids
7. Endurance running/cycling increase your appetite! Be prepared to eat a lot of veggies to cover the hunger.
8. Try something new in the exercise department! Personally, I completely enjoy yoga podcasts that are free and unlimited. Yoga is an incredible opportunity for all people- but it may be hard to get to or find a good yoga class (at least for me).
9. Lift heavy things carefully. Weight training is mandatory to lose inches so lift your kids! Squat with them on your back…be creative.
10. Enjoy the process. Life is good. Make the best of it.
Finally, share what is working for you!
