We all know how to live healthy, eat healthy, be healthy! But we tend to forget to do it on a daily basis. We will talk about starting to do it tomorrow, or next week; when we know we need to start it now! I lived a very healthy lifestyle for nearly 2 years, I felt awesome, I felt like I would never stop. I rarely even felt deprived! It is 3 years later and I am almost back to my original weight that I was at February 2009. How did I let myself get back to this? Why did I let myself get back to this? I can make excuses, first I hurt my ankle, then my knee, then my dad passed away. At this point it doesn't matter, all that matters is that I am making the healthy living choices today, not next week, not tomorrow, but today! How am I going to do this?
1. I wake up each day and say today I will walk an extra 500 steps, climb an extra flight of stairs, eat 3 healthy meals plus 2 snacks a day and drink lots of water.
2. I make a choice when I open the refrigerator, go to the cafeteria at work or to a restaurant to choose the right foods for me. I know I can do this, I have been successful and will be successful again.
3. I decide that just because I may mess up at some point in the day that it is not OK to use that as an excuse to eat bad the rest of the day. I accept my failure and do my best to eat healthy the rest of the day.
4. I will do some sort of exercise everyday, even if it is walking around the block, climbing up and down the stairs, or doing my workout for core performance.
5. I will log my food that I eat everyday. The good, the bad and the ugly!
6. I will weight myself once a week and post it in my Fitbit account.
7. I will review my food logs and decide what I did right and make a full hearted effort to correct the bad food I ate, this should limit my tendencies to eat bad things.
8. I will start each day as a new day, and learn from my past to make my future healthy!
What will you do to keep you mind on Healthy Living?
