You only have 31 days left to do something healthy for yourself. What can you do with this time? It can be as simple as walking after dinner with your family to drinking a gallon of water daily. But do something!
This is usually the busiest time for all of us. Now is not the time to say, “I’ll just get back on track after New Years!” WRONG thought process. You can easily gain 5 lbs. of fat from now until then. Once you gain fat it’s really hard to take it back off. Fight back and move your body. Prepare healthy snacks before you go out shopping and avoid the fast food temptations. You will be glad you did. Don’t forget to drink water! Most of the time when you think you’re hungry it’s usually dehydration! Our bodies are made to survive and hoard fat! It’s unfortunate but true! You have to be smarter than your genes. Feed your metabolism throughout the day on good, simple, healthy foods like veggie sticks and raw nuts. Prepare your food ahead of time. I know it’s not fun to eat plain chicken out of a bag but at least you won’t have to scrape it off your behind later like you would if you ate that fast food grilled chicken you think is healthy but NOT!
Something to think about:
IF YOU EAT PROCESSED YOUR BODY WILL LOOK PROCESSED!
Let’s Recap:
- drink water when you get hungry before you eat anything
- exercise daily (even if it’s only 10 minutes – do it)
- pack healthy snacks for shopping trips
- prepare meals ahead of time and eat every couple of hours
And if you have to ask if it’s healthy then it probably isn’t!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
I would love to hear your comments on this post!
