***HEALTH & WELLNESS WEDNESDAYS***
So many of you have asked me what steps I’ve taken to
accomplish my fitness goals over the past year.
Well, I just took it step by step, day by day. Here are a few things to consider to help you
along your fitness journey.
1. Drink more water. Try drinking at least half of your body
weight in ounces. For example, if you weigh 200lb, drink 100 ounces of water.
If that’s too much, start small with a minimum of 64 ounces/day. That should be the minimum for everyone no
matter how much you weigh.
2. Walk 15 minutes during your break at work.
3. Park your car at the back of the parking lot.
4. Walk up the flight of stairs vs. taking the elevator.
5. Get an exercise buddy and/or accountability group. You
can join my sister Lauren and me in our Facebook group if you’d like: Just Keep Moving!
6. Find an activity that you enjoy doing (I.e. biking, skiing, walking along the lake, rock climbing, tennis, racquetball, Zumba, dancing, stepping, etc.)
7. Eat a minimum of 5 servings of vegetables and fruit in
your diet everyday. (Note: ½ C equals 1 serving; for leafy vegetables such as
spinach, kale – 1 C is equal to 1 serving)
8. Limit your dessert intake. You don’t need a bowl of ice
cream every night before you go to bed.
9. Stop eating after a certain time. Try 7pm. Instead drink water
when you feel the urge to eat.
10. Pack your lunch! You don’t need to eat out wi
th the
coworkers everyday.
These are just a few tips to getting you on your way to
being healthy. I know you can do it one step at a time! Pick one or two and start TODAY.
