My Tips to a Healthy Lifestyle
The road to a healthy lifestyle is a journey. I used to fall prey to putting time limits on myself for what I should be achieving and if that’s something you do, quit. Living a healthy lifestyle, getting fit, eating “better”, and etc is all a process. It is not a destination but a continued process and a way of life.
Don’t be so hard on yourself, think positively, practice self affirmations
Take it week by week or even day by day. This journey is not meant to be quick or easy.
Break down big goals, set smaller goals, set specific goals. Ex: l want to lose 60 lbs by end of 2020 (big/specific goal), but I will continue to strive to just lose 5 lbs at a time regardless of how long it actually takes me
Create daily habits: drinking 96 oz of water, exercising for 15 min, getting to bed by 11:00 PM, etc. Small changes add up to create big effects
Have a reason(s) for why you are on this journey and make sure it’s for YOU. Ex: I believe to be successful it needs to be for you, your health, etc. To lose weight to get attention from said person just isn’t enough. I know in the past I would try to lose weight so my parents would stop commenting about it but once I reached a point where I didn’t care what they thought I didn’t care about losing weight and getting healthy so I quit. I made it about them instead of about me. Now it’s about me and your journey should be about you!
Slowly cut out processed foods, fast foods, sugary drinks and introduce whole foods, vegetables, fruits and grains
Learn to make those desserts and treats on your own because there are healthier versions/recipes of everything
Consistency, persistence and determination are very important especially when times get hard and life becomes stressful. Just keep going!
REMEMBER: Creating a healthy lifestyle is a journey not a destination. Healthy habits shouldn’t stop once you’ve achieved your goals.
