I told myself I want to improve my overall health by July. Not only becuase I am in a wedding and it is swimsuit season but I need to set some realistic goals and a deadline. Feel free to take a few of my suggestions to incorporate into your health stratgey.
1. Pick a weigh-in day and track my numbers.
2. Where a pedometer and track my numbers.
3. Process a food diary 4 days a week, including one weekend day.
4. Sleep in through my morning workout to make sure I am getting enough rest.
5. When eating my meal/snack, stop when I want at least two more bites.
6. Always have a healthy snack on hand so I can avoid any processed food calling my name during peak snack times (for me 3 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.)
7. Never treat my accomplishments with a (food) treat. It is easier to avoid the treat once the task is accomplished but my stomach often years for something salty while working through any of the challenges.
8. Practice the power of positivity and expect more out of myself every day and every workout.
9. I will take a small break every afternoon to do some quick stretches and yoga breathing.
