Here is a great couple of ideas to help remind you of some awesome healthy habits to adopt for life:
Eat Breakfast. Studies show that the people who manage their weight best eat breakfast every day. Try to eat within 30-60 minutes of waking up to get your metabolism jump started for the day. Wait any longer and your body may go into starvation mode and then store what you eat later on.
This one is a no-brainer: exercise! 30 minutes of walking or other simple activity daily is an essential healthy habit for life.
Make a choice to get healthy and then do it with support (health coach, weight loss partner, friend.) Weight loss is a journey and having someone walk along side you and encourage you will make you more successful.
Eat 5-6 Low fat meals each day. Keeping your diet low in fat and sugar will assist you in your goal of optimal health.
Make an individual plan. Each person has their own body, likes and dislikes, not to mention sensitivities and allergies! Work with your health coach to design an eating plan that works best for you.
Monitor. Many people hit their goal weight only to gain some of it back because they stop paying attention. In addition to adopting healthy habits for life (not just until a number appears on the scale), you should also weigh yourself weekly on the same day so you know if you are beginning to lose control. That way you don't wake up one morning to find you've gained 30 pounds since you last checked.
Here's to your health! Jill
