Maybe im back now, been super busy.
Lots off stuff been going on.
- Stop being all or nothing about working out. Just give yourself 20 minutes to kick some booty and you’re done! If you need to, set a timer and just MOVE for 15-20 solid minutes. It can be enough.
- Banish sweetened drinks from your vocabulary. I don’t care if it’s “100%” juice or a “healthy” smoothie. Not. Worth. It.
- Crave sugar? Eat (unprocessed) fat. Something higher in fat and lower in sugar, like 70%+ dark chocolate or berries and cream can hit the spot without a sugar overload.
- Go for a walk! Walking is probably the most underrated form of exercise there is, and you can do it almost any time, anywhere, with anyone.
- Make a recipe file. Next time you have 10 minutes and a printer, find at least 5-8 recipes that look good. Print them out and keep them so when you don’t know what to cook, you’ll have a go-to file.
- Make a workout file. Do the same thing for workouts: print out fun-looking workouts you find online, and cut out good ones from magazines. Next time you don’t know what to do at the gym, pick one at random.
- Vow to ignore health claims on food packages. They’re totally pointless and can lead you to eat some pretty disgusting food. Remember the “Smart Choices” program?
- Don’t let cooking intimidate you. Believe it or not, I just started cooking 4 or 5 years ago. I used to be super intimidated by it. Guess what? Food is a lot harder to screw up than you think! And don’t be afraid to fail once or twice.
- Stop relying on the scale as your only metric of health. Imagine if we only relied on one data point for ANYTHING else in our lives!
- Don’t let food become guilt-inducing or “guilt-free.” In the words of the immortal ieatbutter: “Food itself does not have guilt—we assign it guilt because of something we feel about ourselves.”
reblog for #10.
